The Founders’ Story

A bridge built from lived experience.

Forest Bridge was born from Lexie and Dean’s shared calling to help others find peace, connection and clarity.

What began as their personal journey toward wholeness evolved into a carefully-held space for others to do the same: a bridge between science and spirit, discipline and surrender, self-understanding and self-trust.

Each had their own experience with burnout, recovery and reinvention. To this day, they remain committed to growth, refinement, and constant exploration of how to move through life with more love and grace.  

Work With Us

Our approach is grounded, intentional, & integrative.

We believe transformation is supported by curiosity and openness.
Each program is built around a simple intentional rhythm:

01

Connect

We begin with conversation, exploring where you are and what you’re seeking with honesty and curiosity.

02

Journey

Through guided immersion, hybrid support, or weekend retreats - we create the container custom to your goals.

03

Integrate

Real change happens when new insights take root in daily life & embodying those shifts long after the experience itself.

Our Core Principles

01

Safety first.

Nothing is more important than the nervous system’s equanimity.

02

Reverence always.

Ceremony is sacred work, approached with humility and respect.

03

Integration as transformation.

Insight only becomes freedom when it’s lived.

The team behind the bridge.

Alongside Lexie and Dean, Forest Bridge partners with a trusted network of licensed therapists, facilitators, and integrative specialists.

Each member is carefully vetted for their professional background, lived experience and shared values of integrity, presence and compassion. This collaborative model ensures that every participant receives holistic, multidimensional care – grounded in both expertise and empathy.
