Sea to Sky Chapter

At Mountain Muskox, our Chapters create spaces for community healing through monthly professionally facilitated peer support circles. Each Chapter offers a welcoming environment where individuals impacted by loss or trauma in mountain communities can connect, share, and grow together.

Through consistent gatherings, we foster resilience, belonging, hope, and contribution—building circles of care where no one has to navigate their journey alone.

Sea to Sky circles are held in Squamish, BC

What to expect

Mountain Muskox circles offer a supportive space to connect with others impacted by trauma and loss. Meetings run about three hours once a month and include a group check-in, a learning topic, and optional discussions.

There’s no pressure to share—participants engage at their own pace. Circles are not a substitute for therapy but provide a valuable layer of community support, fostering resilience, belonging, and connection over time.

Sea to Sky Team

Tori is a Registered Clinical Counsellor who lives and practices in Squamish, BC. Her practice focuses specifically on working with athletes and active members of the outdoor sports community as well as individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioural issues, trauma and stress. Her primary theoretical orientations include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, as well as basic principles of Somatic based interventions and Polyvagal Theory.
Tori’s involvement with the outdoor community and love for outdoor sports makes her a passionate and empathetic member of the Mountain Muskox team. Her experience in the mountains and mental health issues related to mountain sports has encouraged her to dive headfirst into the Sea to Sky chapter of Muskox, with the motivation to help guide individuals and the peer support network through their own trauma.

Lexie (she/her) is a Registered Clinical Counsellor whose work emerged from years as a hospitality manager living and working at different backcountry lodges across British Columbia. It was through this, that she observed the intersection of mental health and personal challenges following life-altering injuries, loss of life, and unexpected events in the mountains. These often had a significant impact on her staff teams and the tight-knit communities where they lived.
The isolation following such events can be immense, and for this reason, Lexie feels passionately about Mountain Muskox’s vision to turn people towards one another in a space of healing and social-emotional connection.
When the mountains serve as both playground and workplace, navigating life after the unexpected can be difficult. Lexie works to provide a gentle landing space for those needing care during any part of this experience.
Lexie has a background working in suicide prevention, grief and bereavement services and critical incident stress management. She offers individual counselling and mental health consulting services for adventure tourism operators through her practice, Montira Mental Health.

Jody Radtke has spent her lifetime adventuring through the highs and lows of mountains, forests, rivers, oceans and deserts as well as the metaphorical peaks and valleys of the individual and collective psyche. She has focused her career at the dynamic crossroads of wilderness guiding and human nature, being compelled at an early age to get to the heart of what most inspires and tears us apart.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Outdoor Leadership and a Master’s degree in Transpersonal Counselling Psychology, Jody was exploring eco-psychology when the field was in its infancy. She now specializes in teaching and counselling through nature-based practices, supporting people experiencing ‘mountain trauma’, critical incident response, and delivering training to teams and leaders to increase collective resilience and trauma-informed practices.
Working through a strengths-based, somatically-focused lens, Jody supports individuals and groups along the journey into aligned relationship with self, others and land. She also provides training and supervision for those wishing to deepen their skills as a counsellor, facilitator, or leader through her private practice on Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish territory) and virtually at In-Nature Counselling.

Karly discovered a newfound love for climbing after her competitive ice hockey career was ended by a serious concussion in her early twenties. That love brought her to the beautiful traditional and unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) people. She holds immense gratitude and respect as a guest living and playing on these lands, and has the incredible privilege of working for the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw's Health Department.
She fills her cup through dance, climbing, skiing, biking, and whitewater kayaking, but most importantly through community. She is in awe of the lush green forests and the snow capped mountains of BC, but has also felt the ripple of grief through those very things she loves most. She is in constant pursuit of connection with the land, with others, and reconnecting with her most authentic self.
The Mountain Muskox community was, and continues to be, a valued support system as she navigates the ocean of grief following the tragic loss of her friend in an avalanche in 2023. She has found solace in the support and stories of others navigating similar challenges of fear, sadness, anger and searching for joy and happiness in the mountains once again. She is deeply passionate about this community and the profound impact that togetherness can have through times of grief and loss, and continues to find ways to give back through mentorship and as the Onboarding Manager welcoming new individuals into the Muskox community.
