For as long as I can remember, I've been exploring our relationship with the natural environment and links between individual and social wellness. Embarking on an 18-month yoga teacher training programme in 2019 was the catalyst for leaving an established career as a Community Project Manager working for a global organisation, committed to deepening my understanding of mindful living, and how we can integrate age-old teachings into modern day-to-day life. I went on to train as an accredited Nature and Health Facilitator and for a couple of years, worked with the Wildlife Trust delivering and developing Wellbeing with Nature programmes. I launched Rise and Wild as a way to bring together my experience working in social & behavioural change, facilitating groups, guiding outdoor, nature-based wellbeing interventions, mindfulness, rewilding and creative/craft workshops, wellness walks and yoga classes. The heart of my work seeks the wisdom of earthly living, connection, communication, conservation, and a belief that we are meant to feel well in life.
