Born in Guelph, Ontario, our guest today, Jesse Pierce, grew up cross country skiing and hiking with her family. She remembers camping in Tobermory near Georgian Bay, Ontario as a teenager and having the tingling feeling that this is what she needed to be doing in the future. So after high school, she went on to earn a degree in Outdoor Recreation at Lakehead University.
After university, she ended up working at Outward Bound Canada year-round for six years from 1998 to 2003 – leading white-water canoeing, backpacking, and back-country ski courses in Northern Ontario, BC and Yukon.
In 2003, Jesse returned to school to become a Naturopathic Doctor. She currently has her own Naturopathic practice in Ottawa, Ontario. The only trip leading she does now is with her family - cross country skiing, mountain biking and canoeing.
