Beyond the Edge

The Edge is owned and operated by Cheyanna Koch. As Director of The Edge, Cheyanna is so grateful to share her passions with her clients. She is an avid traveller who has ventured from Peru to Indonesia, Turkey to Easter Island, and beyond. Currently residing in the Canadian Rockies, Cheyanna developed The Edge to help others uncover the immensity the world has to offer while celebrating momentous occasions or embarking upon a transformative journey.

The concept behind The Edge was born from personal experience. Whilst planning her own wedding in Indonesia, Cheyanna noticed that there were a number of particular logistics that went into planning a wedding literally across the world. In addition, she found that many of her guests were asking similar questions: what to pack, how to navigate a foreign airport, activities in the area, etc. While noticing a common theme of fear and self-doubt, she knew they needed support in an unconventional way. Once she began building out itineraries and packing lists for her guests and planning the event itself, she recognized that her extensive travel experience allowed her to navigate each step with confidence and ease. Seeing the weight that was lifted from her guests given the support, she knew she was tapping into something much greater. 

The Edge was created for the purpose of helping others have unforgettable, life-changing experiences around the world without any added stress or uncertainty. Stepping to The Edge has never been so comfortable. 

On the retreats side of things, Cheyanna has attended countless yoga and spiritual retreats over the years and with the intention of hosting yoga retreats herself, began to notice what was and was not working.

Throughout the pandemic, she watched retreats get cancelled and saw just how stressful it was for the leaders. She knew right then that there needed to be a far more simple way from leaders and teachers to simply show up and lead. She adores attending and experiencing retreats and recognizes the amount of energy one has to put into organizing them. To allow leaders the space to share their gifts with others, she is passionate about supporting them and offering that space.

Cheyanna’s favourite travel experiences of all time were swimming in a rare lake with stingless jellyfish, caring for elephants in life-changing sanctuaries, teaching monks english in exchange for meditation lessons, scuba diving beside underwater mois, hiking the Inca Trail, experience the spice markets in Turkey, skydiving, and so much more. It really is impossible to narrow it down. She is sure to attend cooking classes wherever she lands to learn more about other cultures and unique cuisines. Food really does offer a brand new lens into a foreign landscape. 

When it comes to hobbies, you can find her cooking, hiking, practicing yoga, scuba diving, visiting animal sanctuaries, stand up paddle boarding in glacial lakes, practicing Wim Hof, seeing to see as many wonders of the world as humanly possible, and always trying to consciously grow into the best version of herself. 

On a professional level, she has been working in the wedding industry for three years now. Growing tired of seeing the same cut and paste weddings that don’t reflect the true personalities of the couples, she wants to help others showcase their dreams and the people they are on one of the most special days of their lives. The Edge was born from passion and experience and nothing has ever felt so natural.
