a SoulShift Collective seasonal offering

Wild Roots Hikes is a mama-and-me hiking group designed for babywearing mothers and curious toddlers. It's a gentle invitation to reconnect - with nature, with your body, and with other women walking the motherhood path.

These hikes are rooted in presence and community. We gather on accessible, semi-shaded trails around Arizona for intentional movement, deep breaths, and meaningful connection. Whether your little one is tucked into a carrier or toddling along beside you, you'll be met with a rhythm that honors your season of life.

Each hike includes space for grounding, conversation, and slow, mindful movement. There’s no pressure to “keep up” or “get fit” … just a shared desire to step outside, exhale, and remember that you don’t have to do this alone.

What to know:

  • Seasonal offering in Arizona during the cooler months (Oct - Apr)

  • Donation-based to support shared snacks, water, and community care (optional)

  • Suitable for babywearing and toddler feet

  • All fitness levels welcome

Because motherhood is wilder and better when we walk it together.

More details coming early fall.

Meet your Trail Mama Guides

Wild Roots Hikes are guided by two fellow mamas who understand the beauty and challenges of motherhood in motion. Depending on the day, you'll be joined by one or both of us to help create a welcoming, supportive space for you and your little one. We're here to walk alongside you—literally and figuratively.

  • Mama, movement guide, nature-lover, and founder of SoulShift Collective

    Ashley has always found healing in the wild; on quiet trails, under open skies, and with her feet rooted in the earth. As a mother, she discovered that hiking became more than movement; it became medicine. Through Wild Roots Hikes, she shares her love for the outdoors as a path back to self. One that invites mamas to slow down, breathe deep, and remember their own strength, all while holding space for the messy, beautiful rhythm of motherhood.

  • Mama, Pilates master, passionate nature lover and camper, who feels most at home beneath the stars

    There's nothing like hitting the trails and breathing in nature's beauty. Hiking isn't just a hobby, it's my way to unwind, recharge, and connect with the great outdoors. I love the sense of adventure, the thrill of discovery, and the peace that comes with being surrounded by nature. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or a challenging summit, hiking is my escape and my passion. Now, I'm excited to share this love with my son and teach him the value of appreciating nature, exploring the world around him, and finding joy in the simple things.
