Canyons, with Mona Mathews

My cousin, Mona Mathews, is a canyon kid. She grew up in cow camps and weigh stations, navigating crazy steep country and checking for rattlesnakes on the playground of her school of less than 20 kids. Growing up in a rugged, sparsely populated community shaped Mona, teaching her self-reliance.  And it's that self-reliance and curiosity that has led her to travel the world, learning jiu-jitsu along the way. Mona now lives in Portland, Oregon, working as a holistic life coach, a mind-body practitioner, and a massage therapist for pain relief and injury prevention. During a visit to home, Mona and I discuss her unique childhood, and all the adventures she's had since leaving the canyon. Book Mona and learn about her Women's Health Program
