Cristen Jester is an Organic Happiness Guide, combining transformation life and spiritual coaching, ecotherapy and eco-guiding, conservation biology, shamanism, and inspiration. She blends these fields to positively and proactively reconnect people with nature for the healing and empowerment of both. Cristen will guide you toward the peaks you choose to reach with compassion, strength, excitement, and fun, while finding and using the "gear" that you specifically need for your journey. The view from the top is definitely worth the climb!

Cristen received a Bachelor's of Science in Conservation Biology from Arizona State University and, shortly after, achieved her goal of working in the various sectors of the biological/conservation field in order to learn how the different entities operate and communicate about environmental subjects. She is certified by the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts as a transformational life and spiritual coach and experiences the power that such a client-coach relationship has in touching peoples' lives every day. She has worked as an assistant kayaking guide, taught others the basics of backpacking and wilderness preparation, and loves to introduce others to the natural wonders that she discovers. Cristen is also expanding the scope of her spiritual and metaphysical education and philosophy by earning a Master's degree in Transpersonal Studies from Atlantic University.

Most of all, she enjoys living in the elegant simplicity of nature and finds great inspiration and guidance from the world. She loves to see others living in the happiness and peace they all deserve because, together, we can all make powerful strides for our very nature.

Join Organic Happiness Guiding for an eco-tour of the beautiful Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains, designed to bring the amazement and mystery of the areas' ecology to life for you.  Also offered are trips to open the deeper side of nature and the human connection: learn to identify and interpret the signs and symbols that occur around you in the natural world and apply them to your every day life for peace, well-being, and happiness.
