I’m Trista, the founder of Eight Branches & Co. My life is dedicated to the art of creating order, intention, and meaningful experiences for others.

As a mother in a vibrant blended family of eight including my husband, our daughter, our son, and four stepsons, I’ve learned how to bring structure and calm into the busiest chapters of life. Finding that tranquility took time and effort, but it has become the cornerstone of how I move through each day.

While balancing a full-time career, I developed specialized systems to keep our household thriving amidst the constant momentum of schedules, travel, and the energetic chaos of raising hockey players. My history of travel, spanning personal discovery, professional demands, and tournament circuits, has taught me to plan with precision and adapt with grace.

The name Eight Branches is a tribute to our family. It represents the eight of us, each a unique branch growing in our own direction. The number eight has always been a symbol of connection: my daughter was born on the 8th, and both she and my son wore the number eight on their jerseys. For our family, it stands for resilience and the special path we walk together.

These eight branches are the heartbeat of my work. They inspired the systems I use and the purposeful intention I bring to every experience I design. They taught me to find beauty in life’s most crowded moments.

Eight Branches & Co. is a boutique concierge and travel service built on foundation of warmth, clarity, and care. I believe true luxury is not about excess; it’s about feeling profoundly supported and understood. By drawing on my experience managing a large family and a corporate career, I help others feel organized, grounded, and at ease. My goal is to create space for what matters most to you, ensuring every experience is beautifully managed and feels entirely effortless.
