Wild Walk Mentoring

03/01/2026

Balbirnie Park today was just gorgeous - crisp paths, tall trees, burns flowing under old bridges, Monty dawg finding pals along the way. I loved not knowing what was around each corner.

Looking back at my photos, I caught the sunset glowing beyond the trees, and then on the drive home a bullish moon rose bright in the sky. It felt like nature’s reminder: even as one light fades, another rises.

This is what January means to me - a time when endings blend into beginnings, when the year opens like a path through the park, full of turns we can’t yet see. Here’s to stepping forward with curiosity, and trusting that the moon will always rise. 🌙✨

Woodland Wanderings 🌲✨

Today’s adventure took me through a natural woodland I’d never explored before. The ground was cold and crisp underfoot, every step softened by pine needles and winding paths that seemed to lead into mystery. Wrapped up in a woolly hat and gloves, I felt the winter air bite gently at my cheeks while the sun streamed through the branches of Scots pine, casting golden light across the forest floor.

There’s something magical about discovering somewhere new - the quiet, the stillness, and the sense of being part of nature’s rhythm.

And the best part?

Coming home afterwards, slipping into cosy pjs, and settling in front of a roaring fire with the thought that it’s still Friday.

At Wild Walk Mentoring, I work with women who feel they’re at a crossroads, whether in life, career, or leadership. The walks are designed to give you space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself, while having someone alongside you to listen and guide.

Through walking outdoors together, we explore what’s important to you, build clarity and confidence, and uncover practical steps forward. Many women find that being in nature helps shift perspective and makes it easier to see new possibilities.

Get in touch for a 30minute chat, to see if this is something you may be interested in exploring further.

Happy New Year!

Boxing Day gave us the perfect chance to pause, reflect, and stride into the future. 🌿

Today we ventured out on a 10k walk, climbing high above the River Tay. The skies were grey, the air calm, and the views stretched wide and silvery, a reminder that beauty often lies in simplicity.

With Monty Dawg trotting happily ahead, we talked and talked: about the year that’s ending, and the one waiting to begin. Steps became stories, and the landscape held space for our hopes.

Back home, cheese, biscuits, nuts, and a glass of red rounded off the day — nourishment for body and soul.

Here’s to walking with intention, reflecting with gratitude, and embracing the journeys ahead. 🐾

Hope you managed some fresh air today 😊

Christmas Eve Reflections ✨

As the sun set on Christmas Eve 2025, I found myself walking and reflecting on the journey of Wild Walk Mentoring.

This year has been full of steps taken together — mentees, partners, and friends — each one helping to shape a community built on connection, growth, and encouragement.

I’m deeply grateful for all the support you’ve given. Just like tonight’s walk, mentoring has been about slowing down, listening, and sharing the path side by side.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to carrying the spirit of mentorship and collaboration into 2026.

Merry Christmas 🎄

I stepped out anyway.
What began as a dreary walk turned into something transformative. The rain on my face, the rhythm of my steps, the quiet of the landscape — all worked together to lift the weight I hadn’t realised I was carrying.
By the time I returned, I felt lighter, clearer, and more alive.
That’s the power of walking in all weathers: it reminds us that resilience isn’t about waiting for perfect conditions, but about finding strength and solace in the imperfect ones.

At Wild Walk Mentoring, we believe every walk is an invitation to reconnect, to reset, and to rediscover yourself, even on the greyest of days.

Try it with me, this Friday....Eventbrite OOF

23/11/2025

Wondering whether to join me next Friday for our OOOF?

Here's many reasons why you should.....

Physical Health
• Consistency beats conditions: Walking regularly keeps your body active, strengthens your heart, and supports joint mobility. If you only walk when the weather is nice, you miss out on that steady rhythm.
• Immune boost: Exposure to varied weather...sun, rain, cold can help your body adapt and strengthen its resilience.

Mental Wellbeing
• Mood regulation: Natural light, even on cloudy days, helps regulate circadian rhythms and supports serotonin production, which lifts mood.
• Stress relief: Being outdoors interrupts cycles of stress and rumination. Even a brisk walk in drizzle can reset your mind.

Connection to Nature
• Seasonal awareness: Walking in all weathers helps you notice subtle changes - misty mornings, frosty leaves, the smell of rain. It deepens your sense of place and time.
• Grounding effect: Feeling the wind, hearing rain, or crunching through snow reminds us we’re part of something bigger than ourselves.

Resilience & Mindset
• Mental toughness: Choosing to walk despite rain or cold builds discipline and resilience. It’s a small act of defiance against comfort zones.
• Perspective shift: Bad weather often feels worse indoors. Once you’re out, it’s rarely as daunting as imagined.

Join us for Out Of Office Friday, where we escape the indoors and enjoy the great outdoors together, the last Friday of every month!
