As a freelance artist, storyteller, and Level 3 Forest School Leader, I’m passionate about the transformative power of nature and story and have taught in many primary schools as well as for home school networks, at festivals and for private organisations. . My Forest School and outdoor sessions offer children a unique opportunity to explore the natural world, develop new skills, and build confidence—all while having fun in the great outdoors.

What I Offer: With years of experience teaching outdoors, I design sessions that foster resilience, creativity, and self-esteem through a variety of activities, including:

  • Nature Exploration & Scavenger Hunts: I guide you to discover the wonders of the local environment while learning about plants, animals, and ecosystems.

  • Den Building & Shelter Crafting: Together, we work on building shelters, encouraging teamwork and problem-solving.

  • Fire Circle Activities: I teach essential outdoor skills, from fire safety to cooking over an open flame.

  • Storytelling in the Wild: I weave captivating tales that inspire imaginations, all set in the heart of nature.

  • Whittling & Woodcraft: I introduce people to the basics of working with wood, creating simple tools and art pieces from natural materials.

Why Forest School? Forest School is more than just outdoor play—it’s a philosophy of education that nurtures holistic development through regular, long-term sessions in a natural environment. Through my sessions, children and adults build confidence, develop social skills, and gain a deeper appreciation for the world around them.

Join Me: I am available to teach Forest School or a variety of outdoor workshops. Whether you're part of a school group, a community garden, a home education network, or an adult community organisation, I’m excited to work with you to create unforgettable outdoor learning experiences.
