How We Started
Our Founder
My name is Zoe and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy. I received my degree from Carroll University located in Wisconsin. Upon graduation I immediately moved out west to be in the mountains. This is where I got into rock climbing, mountain biking, snowboarding, surfing and trail running. Getting into all these hobbies allowed me to apply what I knew as a Physical Therapist (PT) to train myself to do all of these different sports.

Why We’re Here
I created Outdoor Women’s Wellness to be a trusted place where women could turn for support with their health—whether they're recovering from injury, preparing for a new adventure, or navigating the challenges that come with living an active outdoor life.
What started as a healthcare platform has grown into something bigger: a free, community-driven resource for outdoor women to learn, connect, and feel seen. From evidence-based education to finding providers and women guides, this site is here to support your journey—wherever you are, whatever trail you're on.
I’ve always believed in the strength of female communities. There’s something powerful about learning from other women who understand what it’s like to chase summits, ride solo, or heal after a setback. This is a space to ask questions, explore answers, and grow stronger—together.
