About Us

A.C.E Expeditions: Adventure, Capture, Evolve

Our Motto  "Adventure into the Wild, Capture the Journey, Evolve Beyond Limits."

At A.C.E Expeditions, we believe that an outdoor journey is more than just survival—it's a transformative experience.

Our founder's passion for wilderness survival led to experiences that go far beyond the physical challenges. Featured on "Naked and Afraid," a television show that brings participants into the wild for 21 days, we’ve learned firsthand that these environments test more than just your endurance—they unlock inner strength and a deeper understanding of the world around us.

The wilderness becomes a catalyst for personal metamorphosis, something that can't be bought or imitated.

With our founders' years of medical background in clinical and educational settings she has  evolved a deep understanding of the science behind nature and mental health, A.C.E Expeditions offers more than just adventure; we provide a pathway to healing. Our expeditions integrate the powerful therapeutic practice of   Shinrin-yoku, or Forest Bathing, which has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall mental well-being. By combining the latest research on the health benefits of nature with custom outdoor experiences, we create journeys that not only challenge you physically but also nurture your mental and emotional health.

In today's world, where stress-related diseases and mental health disorders are at epidemic levels, our expeditions offer a natural remedy. Immersing yourself in the wilderness helps reduce anxiety, boost mood, and improve cognitive function. The serene environment of the wild, combined with physical activity, activates your parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calm, clarity, and emotional balance. A.C.E Expeditions provides more than just outdoor adventure—it’s an opportunity to reconnect with nature and yourself, restoring both body and mind.

​

 

Rooted in our core values of **Adventure, Capture, and Evolve**, our mission is to connect people with the wild in meaningful ways. Our expeditions help participants unlock hidden strengths and push beyond their limits while learning essential survival skills. Through this process, we offer not only a deep connection with nature but also candid photography to preserve the journey forever.

 

At A.C.E Expeditions, we focus on this **journey of transformation**, believing that the wilderness holds the power to profoundly change individuals. Through our expeditions, we explore this connection and help our clients rediscover the raw essence of nature—and themselves.

 

The Wilderness Experience

Imagine yourself completely immersed in nature, tapping into your primal survival instincts. Our wilderness expeditions mimic the spirit of challenges like "Naked and Afraid," where nature pushes individuals to conquer their fears and discover new strengths. As you navigate rugged terrains, you'll find yourself evolving mentally and physically, all while gaining an appreciation for the untamed beauty around you.

​

Science of Nature's Benefits

Beyond the physical adventure, the wilderness offers powerful **neurological benefits**. Research has shown that spending time in nature enhances memory, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. These effects have been measured and proven—spending even three days without technology can reduce brain activity associated with stress and overwork, helping restore balance and well-being.

Studies have revealed a **50% boost in creativity** after participants spent time in nature, with no distractions. By disconnecting from modern stressors, we reconnect with ancient survival instincts, the same instincts our ancestors used to thrive. This is the natural harmony we help you rediscover.

An expedition is an organized journey into the great outdoors, designed to explore, learn, and connect with nature. It’s more than just a trip; it’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and serenity of natural landscapes, away from the distractions of everyday life.

During an expedition focused on the benefits of being outdoors, participants can experience the profound impact of nature on their well-being. The journey often includes activities like hiking, wildlife observation, and primitive fire, all of which encourage mindfulness and a deeper appreciation for the environment. Being outdoors has been shown to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and boost overall happiness.

These expeditions also foster a sense of adventure and curiosity. As you explore forests, mountains, and rivers, you gain a greater understanding of the ecosystems around you and how to enjoy them responsibly. Whether it’s witnessing a breathtaking sunrise over a mountain peak or listening to the calming sounds of a forest, expeditions provide a meaningful way to reconnect with nature, recharge your spirit, and develop a lifelong love for the outdoors. Returning home with all the memories captured with expert photography.

As an avid adventurer and accomplished survivalist from NAKED AND AFRAID Season 17, Episode 5, I've dedicated my life to capturing the essence of the great outdoors while equipping others with the skills needed to navigate and thrive in nature's embrace. With a lens in one hand and survival tools in the other, I lead explorers on a journey that transcends traditional boundaries. Whether it's freezing the moment as waves crash against towering cliffs or imparting essential survival techniques under the vast canopy of the wilderness, my goal is to inspire, educate, and ignite a passion for both the art of life and the confidence of survival. Join me on an adventure that goes beyond the ordinary, where every image tells a story and every skill learned is a step towards self-reliance in the great unknown.
