WELCOME

     My name is Danielle.  I am the owner and creator of Awaken Wild Adventures.  I have a strong passion for the outdoors and the many gifts given in spending time with yourself outside.  I grew up in rural southwest Wisconsin- a young girl on a farm.  These years shaped much of who I am, only understanding in adulthood how important nature truly is.  From this, Awaken Wild Adventures was born.  Getting people outside to safely explore the beauty of nature while tackling life issues, body  in motion, is a powerful experience.  I  will aid in logistics, gear, and safety concerns that hinder people from getting out there.  Whether you are prepping for a thru- hike or just looking for a wander with friends and everything in between, I'm here for it!  I am an ultra runner, wilderness first responder trained in adult CPR as well as care of injury and illness in remote and challenging areas.  Last year I thru- hiked the entire 223 mile John Muir Trail self supported and this year I will be running the Javelina Jundred ultra marathon. I enjoy the outdoors from every level- hiking with my family and dog, long road trips to see all the night skies, gardening, camping, adventure vacations to Glacier National Park and everything else Mother Nature has to offer.   I am my best self in motion and love to share this passion and knowledge.
