HELLO...

I grew up in Wiltshire, in a rural society deeply connected with the countryside.  Here, I was fortunate to be able to escape into nature whenever I needed.  I now realise that nature helped me in countless ways; it supported my mindset for study, it provided a venue for exercise and fun, and was a place to breathe when things were tough.

 

I now work as a secondary school geography teacher in London and I still look for nature every day. Sometimes I have to look really hard, but I do find it and it is always worth it - the benefits to my physical and mental health are enormous. 

 

I have created Nature’s Ways to connect people with nature, helping to improve health and wellbeing as a result.  My walks and workshops are designed to help beginners take the first, safe, steps into the natural world, and to support students in seeing theory come to life in the landscape. They are built with inclusivity in mind; you don't need expensive kit, there are no silly questions and no-one is too inexperienced to join one of my small, friendly groups!

 

For teenagers I offer geography fieldwork days for GCSE students who want to top up their skills, increase their confidence or for those who missed out on fieldwork during the pandemic.

​

For everyone I offer map reading workshops in Richmond Park (west London) but can also tailor the location to your needs.   I can also create custom walks and workshops, so why not join me, get yourself nature-ready and open a whole world of new possibilities!
