🌿 A new chapter begins…
Training as a Forest Bathing+ Guide deepened my understanding of how nature, mindfulness and gentle connection can help us feel calmer, more grounded and more connected to ourselves. It also helped me recognise a bigger vision: to one day offer therapy and restoration in nature.
This year, I took the next step and completed a Certificate in Therapeutic Skills and Studies at the Metanoia Institute. Now I’m about to begin a three-year, part-time degree in counselling.
Alongside my studies, I’ll continue working full-time at Macmillan Cancer Support, compressing my hours so that I can dedicate one day each week to learning and developing as a therapist. It will be a busy few years, but this feels like a natural unfolding of everything I have experienced, practised and learned throughout my life.
My hope is to bring counselling, mindfulness and nature connection together - creating a safe, compassionate space where people can pause, reconnect with themselves and find their own path towards healing.
One step at a time, the vision is becoming real. 🌳
