This Grampians-based initiative originates from my own experience of healing and restoring well-being through immersion in nature and undertaking mildly challenging outdoor activities. When I was recovering from depression, I spent a lot of time walking and camping in nature, in Australia and in Europe. Just being among the trees, hills and mountains, seeing beautiful birds and other wildlife, and engaging all my senses to experience relaxation and wonder did me a world of good. It restored my sense of self and my zest for life and adventure. When I started working again, I decided to combine the various strands of my experience, expertise and passions. I have a background in psychology, community work and nature-based coaching/counselling. I am also an experienced bushwalker and rock climber with accreditation in outdoor leadership and a great passion for the outdoors. Combining all these different aspects, I set up the small business of Outdoor Wellness Adventures in late 2025. I hope I can share my knowledge, experience and love of the outdoors with others who are struggling with an issue in their personal or professional lives - by sharing an outdoor wellness adventure!
