About Us
From Heather
SALTZAH Collective was born out of a life fully lived—messy, beautiful, painful, joyful, and wildly resilient.
I’ve spent decades holding many roles at once: mother to six incredible humans, grandmother, caregiver, animal collector, gardener, artist, entrepreneur, adventurer, soldier, speaker, and witness to both deep loss and extraordinary healing. I’ve learned that life doesn’t unfold in straight lines. It bends. It breaks. It surprises you. And somehow, if you stay open, it also keeps offering extraordinary wonder.
This collective exists because I believe in gathering—around stories, around tables, on the trail, around firelight and open water. I believe in creating spaces where people don’t have to perform or pretend, where one can be messy and honesty is welcomed, creativity is stirred, and growth feels both safe and brave.
SALTZAH is for the ones who’ve been forged by life, who still choose joy, who are curious, courageous, and a little untamed. It’s for those who know that healing and adventure can live side by side—something I’ve learned through divorce & loss, through the days I felt I was breaking over and over again. That beauty can be both soft and fierce. That there is more life waiting, no matter how many chapters you’ve already lived, this is not the end. There’s a whole wide world waiting for you!
Incredible, magnificent, phenomenal, ineffable YOU—a brilliant work of art.
This is not a brand to me. It’s an offering. A gathering place. A shared breath. A space where we all learn we have no quit in us. I’m so glad you’re here 
Love,Heather

From Amy
A few years ago I was climbing on a jungle gym & a paralyzed man in a wheelchair called me over. He said, “Thank you. Thank you for climbing on the jungle gym. I would give anything to be able to do that. “ He glanced around and motioned to all of the people with working legs sitting, looking on their phones. He continued,”I can’t tell you how upset it makes me when people have legs that work and yet don’t use them. It’s like they are spitting in my face. Please don’t ever stop using your legs. Please, do it for me.”
This interaction led to an epiphany regarding my yearning to travel. My whole life I yearned to travel the world and explore every nook and cranny. But for some reason I felt this was a selfish endeavor. And than it hit me, I was being selfish for NOT traveling! This passion had been put on my heart, I had the freedom to do it, and I wasn’t taking it? Was I spitting in the face of those who don’t have the means or liberty to travel but long to?

So, because I currently can, I am going to travel , explore, play, climb, sing & dance every chance I get! I do it for myself and for everyone out there who can’t.
I refuse to go through life with the mind set of “one day” , as one day might not ever come.I refuse to let fear or guilt stop me from my best life. And I want to bring you with me! Have you always wanted to travel but want a travel buddy? Do you crave human connection?
That’s why my sister & I started SALTZAH. To bring people together. To encourage others to follow their dreams before it’s too late. “I am not afraid of death, only of dying without ever having truly lived. “I look forward to our adventures together- Amy
✦ How It All Started
It Started With a Single Conversation
A few years ago, we looked at our lives and noticed something uncomfortable. We were busy, we were productive, we were “fine” — but we weren’t really living. We were postponing the trips, skipping the gatherings, waiting for the “right time” that never seemed to arrive. Fear had quietly become the loudest voice in the room.
So we made a decision — together, as sisters do — to say yes. To the trip that felt too extravagant. To the gathering that felt too vulnerable. To the adventure that felt too scary. And something shifted. Not just for us, but for the women who came along.
SALTZAH Collective grew out of that shift. What began as a small group of women choosing joy together became a full community — with events, excursions, retreats, classes, and a membership built on the radical belief that everyone deserves to experience life fully, regardless of their budget, background, or level of fear.
We didn’t want to build another organization. We wanted to build a family.
✦ What We Offer
The Faces Behind the Collective
We are sisters, friends, travel companions, and the two goofiest people you’ll ever meet at a retreat. We didn’t set out to build a company.

✦ What We Stand For
Our Mission, Our Values, Our Promise.
To bring people together through joyful experiences, meaningful adventures, and a community where everyone, regardless of background or budget, has a seat at the table.
Joy Is Non-Negotiable
We don't treat joy as a reward for hard work or a luxury for the privileged. Joy is a practice, a choice, and a birthright. We build every event, trip, and experience around it.
Inclusion Without Compromise
SALTZAH is open to all genders and backgrounds, with a heart especially for middle-aged women who have spent too long putting everyone else first. You belong here exactly as you ar
Community Over Competition
We are not a platform. We are a collective. That means we learn from each other, travel with each other, celebrate each other, and — when life gets hard — show up for each other.
No One Gets Left Behind
Our membership fees directly fund sponsorships for women who cannot afford to travel. Because the adventure is better when everyone gets to come.
Authenticity Always
We are two goofy sisters who cry at airports and laugh at themselves. We will never pretend to be more polished than we are. Real is our brand. Laughter is our logo.
Yes Is a Complete Sentence
We believe in saying yes to life — to the scary trip, to the new friendship, to the class you're not sure you're ready for. We'll be right there saying it with you.
Life Is Waiting. Say Yes.
Join a collective of people who choose joy, adventure, and each other, every single day. Your seat at the table is ready.
