Joyful Outdoors

Through Joyful Outdoors, I’ll help you to step away from the digital world, take a breath, learn new skills & reconnect with nature.

Whether it’s foraging for wild edibles, a bushcraft workshop, or learning to map read, my sessions are about slowing down, being present, and engaging with the land in practical, meaningful ways. Oh, and I also teach laughter yoga, perhaps you’re curious about that…?

I’m passionate about foraging & wild plants – identifying them & knowing how to weave their use into daily life – so I include elements of that into most workshops. I’m also a member of the Association of Foragers, an international community of professional foragers with a communal code of conduct and hold the following qualifications, so you know you’re in safe hands:

• Practical Ethnobotany & Plant Identification – Woodcraft School (2023, Level 4 NCFE – passed with 100% Distinction)
• Foundation Course in Herbal Medicine – Heartwood Foundation (2023 /24)
• Certified Laughter Yoga Leader (2023)
• Lowland Leader walking guide – Mountain Training (2022)
• Advanced Bushcraft – Woodcraft School (2021, Level 3 NCFE)

I run sessions for corporate groups, charities, festivals, hen weekends etc.
