Hi! I’m Jennifer, your host and a dedicated Functional Health Practitioner passionate about holistic healing and empowering women to reclaim their health and voices. Nestled on a stunning 23-acre property with the serene Mattole River flowing just behind, my home is a sanctuary designed to help you disconnect from daily stress and reconnect deeply with nature and yourself. My journey into functional health coaching is deeply personal—I’ve walked through chronic illness, including Hashimoto’s, chronic fatigue, and complex PTSD, and emerged with a profound understanding of how healing is not just physical but a transformative journey of mind, body, and spirit. I blend cutting-edge science with ancient wisdom to guide women toward vibrant health, emotional resilience, and reclaiming their innate power. When I’m not coaching or supporting guests, you’ll find me exploring the gardens I’ve lovingly cultivated, swimming in the river, or engaging in ceremonies with Indigenous elders, honoring the sacred connection between our bodies and the earth. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and rooted in the belief that wellness is an act of liberation and self-expression. As your host, I’m here to ensure your stay is peaceful, restorative, and inspiring. Whether you’re seeking a quiet retreat to recharge or a place to awaken your own healing journey, this space offers a nurturing environment where you can breathe, reflect, and thrive. Welcome to a place where science meets soul, where your health and wellbeing are honored, and where your voice is celebrated as a vital part of a collective awakening. I look forward to sharing this beautiful corner of the world with you and supporting your path to wellness and empowerment. — Jennifer Markman
Nestled in the heart of Northern California's rugged Lost Coast, the neighborhood around 850 Noonan Creek Rd., Whitethorn, offers a serene escape where ancient redwoods meet the Pacific. Just 20 minutes from Shelter Cove, you'll experience the perfect blend of forest and ocean. Your home sits on a beautiful 23-acre property with the tranquil Mattole River flowing behind it, providing a private swimming hole perfect for cooling off on warm days. The property is surrounded by lush forests with hiking trails weaving through towering redwoods and wildflower meadows. Nearby Humboldt Redwoods State Park showcases the world's largest remaining contiguous old-growth forest, where you can walk among giants that have stood for centuries. The Avenue of the Giants offers a scenic drive through these majestic trees, with numerous trails branching off for more intimate forest experiences. Shelter Cove, a short drive away, serves as gateway to the Lost Coast Trail—one of America's most spectacular and untouched coastal hiking routes. Here you can witness migrating gray whales (December through April), explore rich tide pools, or relax on Black Sands Beach with its dramatic coastline. The area embodies a warm, rural spirit with friendly locals who cherish their community. You'll discover charming farmers markets offering fresh local produce, artisan craft shops, and small businesses that reflect the region's creative spirit. This special corner of Humboldt County invites you to slow down and savor simple pleasures—whether it's a quiet picnic by the river, a forest meditation, or stargazing far from city lights. It's a sanctuary for outdoor enthusiasts, wellness seekers, and anyone longing to disconnect from modern noise and reconnect with nature's rhythms. Whether you're hiking ancient redwoods, swimming in pristine waters, or simply breathing fresh forest air, this neighborhood offers a restorative escape that nurtures both body and soul.
