What We do
We design movement-centered experiences that help people take on hard things — sustainably, with care, and with community around them.
Whether you’re stepping into something new or pushing toward your next big goal, our work is designed to support the ember already inside you — and help it last.
From ember to summit.
Come rise with us.
-
Guided retreats designed to restore clarity, strength, and connection — in places that remind you how capable you are.
Because when we step out into wild places, we remember what we’re made of.
-
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all plan or hustle culture advice. Together, we create a training approach that honors your schedule, your body, and your goals — whether you’re building back, chasing a new distance, or simply wanting to feel strong again.
Because you deserve a plan — and a coach — that meets you where you are.
-
These programs target what most quietly struggle with: core stability, glute strength, posture, and functional form. Designed to fit into busy lives, they’re simple, progressive, and supported with clear instruction.
Because strength isn’t about looking a certain way. It’s about trusting your body again.
-
We host relaxed meet-ups, group walks/runs, seasonal challenges, and connection-first gatherings. There’s zero pressure to “keep up.” You show up as you are — we take the next step together.
Because doing life — and movement — together changes everything.
-
We choose books that spark reflection, conversation, and curiosity. Each session blends guided discussion with space to share what resonated, challenged you, or shifted something inside.
Because words can move us the same way mountains do.
-
Each edition - sent on the 23rd each month - offers simple ideas for building strength, finding calm, and staying connected to your goals. You’ll also get early access to retreats, resources, and community happenings.
We keep it meaningful and human — something you’ll actually look forward to opening.
Because sometimes the right words arrive exactly when you need them.
-
We partner with races, retreats, and community events to design programming, support logistics, and create welcoming, inclusive spaces for everyone. Our role is flexible and collaborative: planning support, on-the-ground coordination, race directing, participant communication, and thoughtful touches that make people feel connected instead of just checked in and sent out.
Because great events don’t just run well — they make people feel seen.
-
Practical digital tools to help you start — and keep going — with confidence.
Because sometimes the smallest tools make the biggest difference.
How our experiences work
You choose your entry point.
Retreat, community event, training, or partnership — start where you feel drawn.
We take care of the logistics.
Clear communication, thoughtful planning, and pacing designed for real humans.
You show up — fully.
Move, connect, learn, and take on something meaningful.
We give you tools - not just memories.
Our goal is durability: mindset, practices, and frameworks you can carry forward.
-
Not a blaze. Not a burnout. Just the steady ember that takes you all the way up.
-
Every ascent begins with an ember - a spark of intention, a breath, a moment of stillness before the rise. Ember Ascent leads retreats, movement, and mountain experiences that honor the fire within.
-
The warm, steady fire that refuses to go out - the one that glows in early mornings, in cold sunrises, in quiet courage, in choosing movement again and again. That is Ember Ascent.
