WELCOME TO THE TREEHOUSE
Life asks us to grow, change,
and begin again.
For women navigating seasons of change — caregiving, transition, letting go, or becoming — the Treehouse offers space to pause, find perspective, reconnect with yourself, and remember what matters most.
Through coaching, community circles, and journeys into wild places, I invite you to slow down, listen inward, connect with others, and rediscover what’s possible.
Connection
changes what's possible.
I’m Susan Elizabeth — wilderness guide, coach, educator, and community builder. I’m glad you’re here.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
For more than thirty years, I’ve walked alongside people in times of change: in classrooms, in groups, on mountains and rivers, and in the quiet of wild places.
My work begins with listening — with curiosity about what matters, what connects us, and what might emerge when we make room for it.
I believe we find our way forward not only within ourselves, but through our relationships with one another and the world around us.
This is where possibility takes root.
Why the Treehouse?
There was once a real treehouse — a small studio tucked into the branches where people gathered to make art, play, reflect, and remember what it feels like to belong. Up in the trees, something shifted. People slowed down. They spoke more honestly, laughed more freely, and found a kind of belonging they hadn’t know they were missing.
My work has now grown beyond those wooden walls, into wild places, and into circles and conversations of every kind. But the spirit of the Treehouse still lives at the heart of it all: a place where you can see a little further, breathe a little deeper, and find your way back to yourself.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS WE CAN WORK TOGETHER.
Let's find
what's right for you.
COACHING
When you’re at a crossroads — a role shifting, a chapter closing, a longing you can’t quite name — coaching offers a steady place to pause, listen inward, and find your next step. Together we make room for clarity, courage, and the parts of you that have been waiting.

COMMUNITY BUILDING & FACILITATION
Meaningful things happen when people gather with curiosity and purpose. I work with teams, organizations, and communities to cultivate connection, hold honest conversations, and bring collaborative ideas to life — through circles, workshops, retreats, and consulting.
Whether you have a clear vision or just the spark of an idea, we can build something together.

WILDERNESS RETREATS
Some things can only be found by stepping away. On rivers, in forests, and in quiet wild places, we leave the everyday behind and make space for reflection, challenge, and shared experience — and for remembering how it feels to belong to the world.
From day retreats close to home to multi-day journeys, each one is an invitation venture beyond the familiar.

THE THREAD
THROUGH IT ALL
My work may take many forms,
but the intention is the same:
My mission is to help people come back into relationship with themselves,
each other, and the living world.
