Rise and Wild

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. You'll find me in community, sharing food, listening to stories and making brews, as well as honouring time alone walking in the hills, reading, writing, swimming, resting, dreaming and exploring the Peak District National Park.

 

I practiced yoga for about ten years before embarking on an 18-month teacher training programme in 2019 to deepen my understanding of yoga, mindfulness and meditation, and how we can integrate these age-old teachings into modern-day living. As a teacher, I'm a life-long student and continue to learn through additional trainings, a dedicated, daily practice, and attending my teachers' classes.

​

For as long as I can remember, I've been exploring our relationship with the earth and our natural environment. After leaving a career as a community project manager for a global charity pioneering social change, I trained as a Nature and Health Facilitator and worked with the Wildlife Trusts delivering Wellbeing with Nature programmes for a couple of years. In 2020, I launched Rise and Wild to bring together my experience facilitating groups, guiding outdoor, nature-based wellbeing interventions, rewilding and creative workshops, wellness walks, mindfulness and yoga classes. I often collaborate with conservation, healthcare and arts organisations and always with people and planet.
