Carleigh Fairchild

Carleigh Fairchild is passionate about connecting to nature, and understanding our place in the world. Since the age of 13, Carleigh’s life has been immersed in wilderness survival, and survival skills training. She has tested herself by solo backpacking 500 miles through Washington State on the Pacific Crest Trail. And after years honing her skills, Carleigh took on one of the most difficult survival challenges by becoming a contestant on History Channel’s Alone. Not once, but twice. On seasons 3 and 5 of Alone she not only had to build shelter, make fires, and procure water and food, she also had filmed herself, as she was truly alone with not even a film crew. Carleigh was completely self-reliant for 86 days in the wilderness, relying solely on her knowledge of and connection with the land to provide for her needs. Living her life as a journey, Carleigh has been studying NIASZIIH healing for the past 10 years. As a certified NIASZIIH healer Carleigh incorporates the healers perspective into all that she does. Continuing to adventure and seek out connection wherever she goes. Carleigh gives keynote presentations, guests on podcasts and holds instructive courses in the United States and Internationally. Based in Western North Carolina, Carleigh’s uses her vast experience to help outdoorsy people steward deeper and more meaningful connections in their lives so they can grow into the human their hearts know is possible.
