More About Us

The Wellness Farm began in 2023, but its roots reach far beyond the past two years. Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Camille Hawkins, a serial philanthropic entrepreneur, saw a need in our community for a safe space where individuals and families could spend time in nature healing their broken hearts from the grief and trauma life brings. Camille and her husband Palmer founded The Wellness Farm on the fifth birthday of their daughter Everly Camille, who died at birth.

Camille was already working in the field of grief and trauma support, but her experience of losing their daughter after a decade of infertility pushed her to further explore a variety of mourning and healing practices.
