Holly Johanna Winters is 42 and an educator, farmer, musician, and proud activist parent of two amazing girls in Bothell, Washington. Holly is in her third season of guiding day trips and has aspirations to specialize in guiding multi-day adventures in the future as her children become more independent. Holly's connection with the river fuels her philosophy that The River is for every body, and safety is Holly's absolute number one priority on the river, but not just on the water. She is dedicated to creating a harassment-free workplace for all guides and support staff within commercial rafting operations, and she believes the culture of misconduct within the river community must evolve in order to accommodate more women, queerfolk, and people of color. Along with so many other women, Holly has experienced traumatic encounters with river colleagues and guests. Her river journey of learning, growing, and healing has been largely filtered through her art. She uses her voice to express herself through song, and much of her music is river-inspired. You can find her music by her artist name ⁠⁠Holly Joh on Spotify⁠⁠, or whatever preferred streaming platform. Email her at [e-mail] or find her on instagram or facebook @hollyjohmusic

Wild Woman Scholarship Fund

I am excited to announce that I’m starting a scholarship fund to help get folks who would otherwise not be able to afford my health and life coaching services. I am accepting donations via @wildwomancoaching venmo. When you donate, mention the Scholarship Fund and I will set the money aside. Once there is enough money saved up, I will reach out to someone in a marginalized community who is in need of my services, but cannot afford them! I will also be putting 5% of my personal profits from any of my programs towards this mission!
