Nature Connection with Katie

I am passionate about connecting people to nature in a deeper way. I believe that forest bathing allows you the opportunity to connect to yourself, to others and to nature which are all vital to our own wellbeing, to having strong communities and to help us protect our natural world.

I have experienced and benefitted from the healing power of trees as I navigated through difficult times in my life which motivated me to help others find a deeper connection to nature and feel the benefits that this can bring.

I have led sessions for the Out & Wild festival in Wales, National Trust, University of Exeter, Devon Wildlife Trust and the lovely local people of East Devon.

I have worked in the wildlife conservation sector for nearly 20 years and so bring my knowledge of the natural world to my sessions. Through my work I have gained extensive experienced of organising and leading events, connecting people to nature in various ways.

I am also a Mental Health first aider, Outdoor First Aid Trained and Dementia friend and trained community organiser.
