Outdoor Wellness Adventures

Come on an inspiring bushwalk or challenge yourself on a rock climb with us. Find clarity and peace about a personal or professional issue you are struggling with. Get support from a qualified outdoor guide and wellness coach. 

Bushwalking and rock climbing demand your presence and concentration. As you focus on the grandeur, silence, sounds and scents of the beautiful natural environment, the activity becomes rhythmic and meditative. This kind of intentional exercise leaves no room for stress or worries, and will help you release pent-up energy in a healthy way. Experience the welcome relief of physical fatigue at the end of the day. The guiding questions, light assignments and personal feedback we provide can help you gain clarity on the issue of concern you choose to address, be it personal or professional.

At Outdoor Wellness Adventures, we believe in the healing and restorative power of nature, and in your ability to find back wellness through an outdoor adventure activity which presents a personal challenge.

With training in psychology, community development work, and nature-based counselling/coaching, I decided to turn my longstanding passion for bushwalking and rock climbing into work. After completing a certificate 4 in outdoor leadership in 2025 and joining Outdoor Health Australia, I now guide others through these activities, with the underlying goal of supporting personal well-being.

Our services

Guided bushwalks

Choose from walking for half a day to an overnight hike, and come explore the beautiful Grampians in Victoria with us. Your experienced guide will choose the route in consultation with you, and navigate, provide information and healthy snacks, as well as (if you wish) gentle reflection exercises to contemplate an issue that’s bothering you.

Simple rock climbs

Challenge your fears and doubts on a beginner level rock climb, and experience the excitement and sense of empowerment that comes from doing so. You will be instructed and belayed by an experienced guide.

Wellness weekends

If you need some extended time for yourself, make it a weekend of bushwalking, personal reflection, and additional treatments such as reiki or massage (at extra cost). You will be camping on a fully equipped tranquil bushland block adjacent to our home, with private toilet, shower and power point for charging electronics and making hot drinks.
