Kelsey Loupy, PhD invites the power of relationships into personal and collective wellbeing. After years of researching and embodying the body-mind connection, she decided to go back to school for Transpersonal Wilderness Therapy at Naropa University, planting her feet somewhere between the measurable and immeasurable. 

Kelsey’s approach to therapy is primarily body-centered, which means that she trusts the unique wisdom of your unique body. She also combines a mixture of attachment, existential, parts work, mindfulness, and nature-based therapy modalities to help you listen and remember your instincts. She believes that our outer wilderness reflects our inner wilderness, choice is a sign of health, and joy is a radical expression in an often oppressive world. 

Imagine wandering down the trail of your soul. This trail is safe, you are the guide, and Kelsey is with you. Together, you can identify emotions or areas of life that feel “overgrown,” “blocked,” or “lost.” You can follow the body’s internal map toward what feels good– resourcing, relieving, empowering, or fulfilling– to help you find your way.

Kelsey finds her own peace, resilience, and spiritual connection through outdoor adventure quests, for example backpacking, bike touring, and rafting. She incorporates these activities and other types of wilderness quests into her therapeutic work, and she offers integration support for folks returning from big life experiences.

Jess Arneson is human and has an animal body—just like you. Her work is rooted in earth-based wisdom. She is guided by relationship with the wilderness, both within us and around us. She believes that humans are inherently whole, carrying our own knowing.

Jess sees the therapeutic relationship as a space to tap into the intuition and truth already within you. Through listening, embodied awareness, and relational support, you will attune to the wisdom that emerges through connection. This process honors both depth and playfulness.

She is currently completing a Masters in the Wilderness Therapy program at Naropa and her internship at the Somatic Nature Therapy Institute. Jess integrates ancestral skills such as hunting, storytelling, hide tanning, and fire-making—not just as tools, but as living metaphors for intuition and remembering who we are. Her approach welcomes raw expression, play, and present moment exploration. Read more.
