About Us

---

 Michelle is a powerhouse of resilience, heart, and high vibes—a devoted mother of five, proud grandmother, cancer survivor, and the kind of woman who turns life’s challenges into fuel for growth. As a seasoned personal trainer, former gym owner, Stand Up Paddleboard athlete and instructor, certified breathwork facilitator, and yoga instructor, Michelle doesn’t just teach wellness—she lives it. She teaches paddleboarding with the same passion she brings to every class, empowering women to find balance both on the water and in their lives. Whether she’s leading a sunset  SUP Yoga session, guiding a soul-centered Chair yoga flow, or enjoying time with her beloved grandchildren, she embodies strength, grace, and unstoppable spirit.

For over 26 years, Michelle has been hosting transformative women’s retreats and creating dynamic fitness programs designed to help women feel powerful in their bodies and peaceful in their minds. As the owner of a kayak and paddleboard rental business, she has created a space where adventure meets empowerment, helping others experience the freedom and healing power of the water. Her work blends movement, mindfulness, and motivation in a way that leaves women feeling seen, supported, and strong. Michelle’s mission is simple yet profound: to help women rise—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—while having a whole lot of fun along the way.

Jen’s love for travel and the outdoors was sparked early, thanks to countless camping trips across the western United States with her family. From hiking and backpacking through the red rock deserts of Utah to exploring the mountains of Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, and California, she feels most at home under open skies. Her adventurous spirit has taken her far beyond the West as well—she has spent extensive time exploring Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and had the life-changing opportunity to work at a school for deaf children in Ghana. For Jen, travel isn’t just about seeing new places; it’s about connection, perspective, and growth.

Professionally, Jen brings that same energy and courage into everything she does. She spent five years as the owner of Make Waves Marketing, building a successful marketing and sales company. She is also a children’s book author, kayaking guide, and the founder of a women’s adventure retreat company designed to help women step outside their comfort zones. A certified mindset mentor for eight years, health and fitness enthusiast, proud mother of three boys, and grandmother, Jen is passionate about helping others live boldly and intentionally. Whether she’s guiding on the water, mentoring a client, or planning the next adventure, she believes life is meant to be fully lived—and she invites everyone around her to do the same.

 A wife, mom of eight, and grandmother of nine, Tricia has spent decades pouring her heart into raising her family. In this beautiful season of life, she has rediscovered that adventure, deep friendship, and vibrant health aren’t luxuries… they’re essentials. A passionate advocate for healthy living, she loves helping women truly enjoy nutritious food, joyful movement, and simple daily habits that build strength, energy, and lasting confidence.

As the owner of Rustic Harvest, Tricia has fed large groups with the same love she poured into her own family table — catering weddings and creating beautiful events where nourishing food and meaningful connection take center stage. She believes connection, laughter, wholesome meals, and a little courage can be life-changing, and she has a gift for creating spaces where women feel supported, inspired, and fully alive. As co-founder of Wild Balance Adventures, she is honored to help design transformative retreat experiences where women reconnect with themselves, build deep friendships, and step boldly into their healthiest, most vibrant lives.

Wild Balance Adventures actually has it's roots in 25 plus years of retreat experience. Michelle Ennis had been hosting women's retreats since the year 2000 and had invited Tricia and Jen to attend and assist in a few events. Tricia had been in charge of the food and Jen had come up with fun and creative mindset activities while Michelle focused on the overall execution, organization, gifts and promotions and sales.  Jen was hooked and  made the proposal of creating this permanent partnership between the three ladies.  Wild Balance Adventures was officially formed in the spring of 2025 with the idea of collaboration with other amazing women and increasing opportunities to play and refocus.  We firmly believe women were divinely created with a strong need for connection with other women.  We fuel and empower one another.  Women need women for healing and understanding.  So why not have fun while we do it? Hence the name, Wild Balance is born in a need for finding balance with other women and a desire to embrace that wild side in fun activities.
