Moving to Jasper 33 years ago as the figure skating coach completely changed my life. I fell in love immediately with the park and it's unbelievable beauty and magnificent nature. I dreamed of being a hiking guide as soon as I heard that there was such a profession. I made that dream come true 28 years ago when I became a Certified Hiking Guide with the Association of Canadian Mountains Guides. I have travelled the planet for hiking and climbing and have been on trekking adventures to Nepal 7 times. I have climbed in China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Laos, India, Indonsia, Australia, Kenya, South Africa, Morroco, Ethiopia, Spain, Greece, Cuba, Colombia Peru, Argentina, United States and Jordon! I still find the Canadian Rockies very magical. I have guided many travelers from all over the world sharing my passion and knowledge of all the pure spaces that I have discovered. I believe that the pure spaces of nature are very powerful and that connecting with these spaces can be very nourishing for the soul. I always allow time for my guests sit in silence and really connect with themselves and the pristine places we explore. I believe in the importance of "leave no trace" practices in nature. I am always fostering an appreciation and understanding of ecosystems and the interconnectedness of all living beings. Being a Certified Yoga Teacher and meditation practitioner allows me to bring the body, mind, and spirit aspect to your hike if desired.

Thank you Karl and Angela! It was so much fun! Thanks for all your travel stories, they were extremely inspiring and I now want to read "Mutiny of the Bounty"! Enjoy the rests of your Canadian chapter and the many chapters around the world, yet to come!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Terri. She arrived on time and was gracious throughout. She was tremendously knowledgeable about the sites and made great recommendations on where to go to avoid the crowds. We found her insights based on 30 years in these mountains fascinating. We think you will have a great time in any of the trips you want to make in the...

Thank you for your beautiful praises! It was an honor to guide you and John. I loved how everytime you said, "no pressure", animals appeared! I am touched that John was moved to tears in seeing the 60+ bighorn sheep conventional! That was really special even for me a local but the fact that John felt the divineness of this experience touches me even more. I have...

Wonderful guide. Knowledgeable and friendly. Initial issue with whose car/van would be used. In the past, we’ve always had the guide provide transportation. I did NOT read Terri’s info “Will drive your transportation”. We had a one way trip planned from Jasper to Banff/Lake Louise., resulting in a hassle renting a 7 pax van in a town with little infrastructure after...

Hi Tejas, I miss you guys! It was alot of fun! I enjoyed very much collaborating with you and your wife and friends. It is always like a little trip to India when I have Indian guests and I love that! Your ideas took me to places that I had not thought of and I am glad we could combine our ideas with so much synergy! I hope that our paths cross...

We were in good hands having Terri as our knowledgeable and gentle guide around Jasper. She knows the park intimately and shared legends, facts, amazing details about the positive effects on the forests that otherwise seemingly devastating fires can actually have on the ecosystems. We shared the day along with a richly shared experience of the rejuvenative and soul moving...

It was my pleasure to spend the day surrounded by your positive vibes! I will never forget that divine moment we had on Lake Edith when we listened to the music of "On Golden Pond" while the loons were diving and the elk was buggling! You were able to be 100 % present with me, not thinking of what is next, so rare these moments. Well done! We entered an infinite...
