In this episode I have a convo with Audrey Costa — a dedicated wellness professional whose work bridges health, experiential learning, and trauma-informed care. Audrey holds a B.Sc. in Physical Education and Health, a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and is a Licensed Associate Counselor in New Jersey. With extensive experience supporting adolescents and adults through addiction, recovery, trauma, grief, and emotional dysregulation, she’s guided individuals across every level of care, from residential treatment to outpatient settings.
Before stepping into clinical practice, Audrey spent over 14 years in public education and later served as a Regional Wellness Manager in corporate wellness. She’s also certified and trained in personal training, health coaching, yoga, mindfulness, nutrition, and nature-informed therapy. As a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist and Licensed Hiking & Camping Guide, Audrey blends therapeutic skill with somatic, movement-based, and nature-centered approaches to healing.
As the founder of Deep Rooted Wellness & Creatives, Audrey integrates her 20 years of outdoor education into powerful experiential offerings. She leads monthly nature therapy hikes and Wild Resilience Backpacking Retreats for women—small, intentional groups designed to foster healing, resilience, and connection. Through holistic mind-body-spirit coaching, she creates transformative spaces where individuals can regulate their nervous systems, build inner strength, and reconnect with their authentic selves through the healing power of nature.
