Introducing
Wellness in the Wilderness
This is a space for businesses, groups and charities who want to offer a bespoke wellness experience in nature for their teams or community.
Nature connection has been recognised as a powerful way to enhance workplace wellbeing and increase overall performance. We are unfortunately in the midst of a mental health crisis in the UK, and the pressure of our fast-paced modern lives is a contributing factor. It has become the norm to spend most of the day indoors, sitting at a computer screen or with our heads in our phones, feeling overwhelmed by everything we need to do.
My intention is to create memorable and joyful experiences to help your community restore their connection with nature and therefore improve their overall mental and physical wellbeing. You will also find that the shared experience will help foster deeper connections and a sense of unity within your teams too!
I have spent years discovering the most beautiful locations and routes in Lancashire and the Lake District for your back-to-nature experience, but if you have a special natural location in mind let’s connect!
This is for…
Businesses who are investing in the long-term wellbeing of their employees
Communities or friendship groups who are looking for an inspiring shared experience in nature
Charities who want to offer a nature-based wellbeing activity or programme for their service users
Events/Festivals/ Retreat hosts who value the healing power of nature and want to incorporate nature-based wellness into their programme
“Georgie tailored all the activities, exercises and discussions around our common sense of purpose.
The group were immensely positive and remarked on how peaceful, relaxing and inclusive the day had been. Everyone could engage in the activities at their own pace and it was an interesting and magical experience for all.
Georgie has a natural ability to engage and her gentle energy allows everyone to participate fully in the day."”
Sober Butterflies Collective (Community group)
Cultivating Wellness Through Connection with the Natural World.
As a nature therapist and professional coach who has transitioned from a 10-year career in the corporate world, I was no stranger to burnout and recognise now that my overall health suffered greatly from a fast paced and highly stressful working environment plus a total disconnect from the natural world.
I am passionate about improving collective wellbeing through connection and time spent in nature as I wish that these experiences were available to me and my team when we so desperately needed them.
Even in my ‘old life’ - the one before I created my purpose-led business- my gift was helping people realise their potential and find a sense of flow in their work and personal lives. Now through my expertise in nature therapy, my work as a professional coach and my love for mindful hiking (did you know I was a qualified mountain guide too?) I want to help you and your community unlock nature's wisdom to live more balanced and happy lives.

“Nature's healing embrace has the power to mend the soul, calm the mind, and nourish the spirit. In the presence of the natural world, we find the best therapy for our well-being."
why host a session for your team or community?
deepen connections and sense of unity
Nature-connecting activities strengthen interpersonal relationships and improve communication and collaboration in groups or teams. You will notice that your people experience a great sense of unity and togetherness after their natural experience!
boost creativity and cognitive function
Nature connection has been associated with heightened creativity and improved problem-solving skills (essential for our home life and work life!) Studies show that it also boosts cognitive function and encourages innovate thinking
reduce stress and improve wellbeing
We know intuitively that nature has an incredible impact on our wellbeing and the science behind it is fascinating too. Decrease the risk of burnout, elevate the collective mood and support the emotional and mental health of your community
Kind words from our clients
“Every detail was so thoughtful and we could tell Georgie had designed the day especially for us to get the most out of it. The activities planned for us were ideal and none of us felt out of our comfort zone. Georgie had conversations with me before the day to see what we wanted to get out of it and she ensured we all left getting exactly what we needed. We were all so thankful for a perfect day.”
