THE COACHING
This is growth, supported.
Travel is a natural catalyst for seeing ourselves in a different light, from a different angle. And the coaching arc – before, during and after the trek – connects that experience with personal discovery.
What makes this coaching different?
There is a lot of research that suggests that travel, spending extended time in nature, and the foot-to-earth rhythm of a long trek all have a unique effect on us physically, mentally and spiritually.
And when we are stuck in the day-to-day experiences of our lives, it can be tough – sometimes it seems near impossible – to gain the broader perspective and deeper insights that move you through change, hardships and life.
When you join a wild insights cohort, you’re gaining the benefits of both a professionally curated trip that supports local communities AND an expert coaching experience – two usually standalone experiences – brought together for maximum growth to benefit you.
This could be the catalyst you need if…
You're craving a change - perhaps something more meaningful, but don't know what "more" looks like
Success feels hollow, or burnout is creeping in faster than fulfillment
You have big dreams but keep getting stuck in the same thinking loops
The next chapter feels both thrilling and terrifying - or completely unknown
This isn't just trekking with a journal.
This is intentional, balanced change-making woven into a real adventure.
Before the Trek: We build your foundation.
Get crystal clear on what you're really seeking, identify the patterns that keep you stuck, and set intentions that will guide your journey. Work together on sustaining a balance of getting shit done with being authentically present. We’ll also do a professional or personal growth deep-dive, either the gold-standard in Leadership 360s or a personalized introduction to Ayurveda for holistic, mind-body wellbeing.
During the Trek: Presence meets discovery
No formal sessions—just you, the Himalayas, and practices designed to unlock insights when your mind is most open to them. Along on the journey: your guides and a small cohort of like-minded travelers & change-makers.
After the Trek: Integration that sticks
Turn your breakthrough moments into lasting change with structured support that helps you apply what you've discovered to real life. Support & accountability for taking those moments of wild insight to the next level.

Allie Siegel, Founder + Principal Coach
For 15 years, I've been helping change-makers & leaders navigate their most challenging transitions, as a certified professional coach for the past three. As a two-time expat and avid explorer (both inner work and outer adventure), I've learned that the most profound insights don't happen on Zoom —they happen when we step completely outside our normal environment and push our boundaries in healthy ways. This takes intention, humility, good humor, patience, practice - and with thoughtful coaching, it has enormous power to illuminate hidden truths about ourselves and our relationship with the world and people around us.
My methodology blends:
Proven coaching frameworks with exploratory, adventure-based learning
Mind-body approaches that honor both logic and intuition
Practical tools and thought partnership so you can make real progress in real life
Community support that extends far beyond our time together
I believe the most impactful change-making happens at the intersection of inner work and outer adventure. When you combine expert coaching with the natural catalysts of travel and immersion in nature, you don't just have an experience—you create a new way of being.
Beyond wild insights, I am a leadership coach and strategic partner to nonprofits facing transitions at Tula Creative, which you can read more about here.
Client testimonials
“Allie is incredibly intuitive and observant. Not only have I improved in my leadership skills, but my entire life has improved. I have gained a greater sense of self. We've shined light in places that I didn't know existed. We've put words and breathed new life into abilities, skills, and talents that were nameless for so long. Allie has directly and indirectly built up my confidence and has helped me to achieve happiness that I didn't know what possible."
— Otis L., Senior Director
“Over the course of working with Allie, what I initially thought I wanted to focus on evolved into much deeper and more meaningful topics that aligned with what I was truly facing at the time. Her support helped me reframe a very difficult situation and approach it with clarity, groundedness, and confidence—leading to an outcome I’m really proud of and a period of real growth. Allie’s background in consulting made her especially insightful when it came to work-related topics, but her coaching would have been impactful regardless of her industry knowledge."
— Sarah P., Business & Strategy Manager
"Allie is an amazing coach. She was able to help me get unstuck and move forward on some tough things I've been weighed down by for a long time. After our time together I'm filled with discovery, possibility, excitement, action and hope. I would highly recommend her."
— Jen W., ex-Microsoft
Personalized, Professional Growth
In our coaching sessions, I’ll hold up a mirror to help you uncover your own personal insights - you are the expert, not me. But personal and professional growth also includes learning new things, and that’s where this Deep-Dive comes in.
