Do you want to make the rest of this year count? You don't need to write off or dread autumn and winter...you just need to find the right energy and focus for this time of year.
Join us for The Wheel of the Year: Harnessing Nature's Seasons and Cycles and learn how to harness the energy not just of autumn and winter, but your whole year!
Next Tuesday, 21st October. We've a gorgeous group of wild-hearted women gathering, all up for exploring a more intuitive, seasonal way of approaching life. I'd love to welcome you too!

Do you feel called to learn more about the Celtic wheel of the year and the ancient festivals, or simply love nature? Does part of you long to reconnect to the old ways and the seasons and cycles?
My workshop on Tuesday 21st October is a great place to start!
Learn about the wheel of the year - layered with extra perspectives and seasonal focuses form my own work - and how to harness its power in your day to day life. Your wild DNA will thank you for it!
More info over on my website or I'll pop some extra information below.

Hunter gatherer mode: activated!!
Possibly one of my favourite things about autumn (and that’s saying something…I LOVE so many things about this season!) is the foraging, and my favourite thing of all to forage: chestnuts!
I was lucky enough to grow up with a chestnut tree at the bottom of the road, so many a childhood autumn day was spent stuffing myself silly with these delicacies. These days I have to venture a little further, but it’s always worth it!
I’m struck with the awe and gratitude that my ancestors must have felt, each autumn, especially in a mast year (a year where nut and fruit trees produce extra-abundantly), at a sight like this.
This was life. This was fuel to sustain a long, cold, hungry winter.
Whilst I’m glad I’m not having to forage out of survival, it does make me sad that we’ve lost so much of our appreciation for and connection with the natural world. With its seasons and cycles. With the abundance and beauty and joy out there. And what it can awaken within us, if we let it! 🍁

Wild Women's Wisdom is a deep dive into all things wild - from the comfort of your own home! We're gathering again this winter with a new group of women (although some from last year have already said they'd like to join me again!), and more details will be coming soon. But if you'd like to know yourself more deeply - through the lens of wildness, untaming, understanding who you're not, working with the seasons and cycles more powerfully, all whilst getting to know and being supported by an amazing group of likeminded women, this is for you!
I'll be launching next week, and if you'd like a taster, I highly recommend coming along to my online workshop on Tuesday, The Wheel of the Year: Harnessing Nature's Seasons and Cycles, which will give you a great introduction to me and my work! (Whilst also being a great standalone workshop in its own right!)
I'll pop more information below.

All life begins in the dark!
Did you know that in ancient times, Samhain (31st October in the modern day calendar) was seen as the start of the year?
It might seem slightly crazy, as other than the over-commercialised ghoulish "Halloween" that most of us associate with that date, it seems fairly inauspicious.
It's not! And this is one of the wild insights we'll explore in The Wheel of the Year: Harnessing Nature's Seasons and Cycles workshop next Tuesday.
In fact, Samhain is an important Celtic festival - one of the "cross-quarter" festivals - because it is a specific point on Earth's journey around the sun. Samhain marks the midway point between the autumn equinox (c. 21st September) and the winter solstice (c. 21st December), and for many who follow the "wheel of the year", from thousands of years ago to the modern day, it marks the start of the year.
This might seem strange, in a world that values productivity and light and visible action. Which is exactly why it is so powerful!
When you think about it, all life begins in the dark.
🔥 Seeds are planted in dark soil, ready to take root and emerge in spring.
🔥 Babies start life in the dark of the mother's womb.
🔥 Breakthroughs often come in the darkest times.
🔥 Our best ideas often come in the dark of night, in dreams, or in the dark space of not-actively-thinking.
What we make space for, sow and nourish now, will be ready to flourish come spring. Our only job is to decide what to clear and what to plant, and then to tend and nurture those seeds through the darkness of winter.
This insight profoundly changed my approach to and opinion of winter! And it has supported mainly clients, too. If you'd like more seasonal insights to help you make the most of your year ahead, join us for The Wheel of the Year!

Are you DONE with hustle culture? Fed up of always pushing through, being always on?
You're not alone! AND, there's another way!
We - you - are not designed to be always on. Nature has seasons and cycles for a reason. YOU have seasons and cycles for a reason.
And when you learn to not only embrace but harness the power of those seasons and cycles....you'll stop wasting energy with the hustle and find your flow...as nature intended!
Discover how, and more wild wisdom, in my upcoming workshop, The Wheel of the Year: Harnessing Nature's Seasons and Cycles
Tuesday 21st October
10am-12:30pm
Plus a bonus physical embodiment and integration of this wisdom in the afternoon with the "Opening to Wildness" embodiment session.
Here's to finding another way!

"If you are interested in a greater sense of balance in your life, by bringing in a deeper connection to nature and the rhythms of the world - work with Jen."
Curious to learn more? Join me for "The Wheel of the Year: Harnessing Nature's Seasons and Cycles" on Tuesday 21st October, 10am-12:30pm.
We'll explore how tuning into nature's rhythms and following an ancient way of tracking the turning of the year can help you slow your year down, find a deeper sense of purpose and connection, and make the most of your energy at every point of the year. You'll even create your very own "wheel of the year" resource to take away with you to refer back to throughout the year!
It's a standalone workshop (with an optional bonus "Opening to Wildness" embodiment session in the afternoon), but I'll also be sharing details of my Wild Women's Wisdom programme running this winter, for those of you who want to dive even deeper!

Some of my clients end up LOVING camping. Some tolerate it, for the experience they get from doing it.
Some...well, they're yet to be persuaded to even try, and that's totally fine too!
If that's you...don't worry, I've got you!!
One day I hope you'll venture into the woods with me, but the good news is you don't HAVE to brave camping to experience what it is to access more of your inner wildness.
This winter (starting in November) I'm launching my third iteration of my Wild Women's Wisdom online programme, and this might be for you if you're curious about all this wild stuff, but still not convinced about joining me out in the woods.
Even better, you can try it - and me - out first!
On Tuesday 21st October I'm hosting my "Wheel of the Year: Harnessing Nature's Seasons and Cycles" workshop and whilst it's a great standalone workshop it's also a fantastic taster of my Wild Women's Wisdom programme.
In the morning we have a 2.5 hour interactive and engaging workshop, where you'll create your own wheel of the year template to take away with you to guide you through your year, then in the afternoon there's an optional (but highly recommended!) "Opening to Wildness" embodiment session, where you get to shake off the week, release some stress and and embrace wildness at a deeper, embodied level. All from the comfort of your own home! No tents required! 🏕😉
More info about the workshop below, or over on my website. Hopefully see you there!

BONUS “Opening to Wildness” embodiment session, for those who register for The Wheel of the Year workshop.
Join me for an exploration into what it means to "Be Wild" at an embodied level. Wildness is largely about reconnecting with your truest self beyond the labels, beneath the masks, between the layers. It's about reconnecting to your wholeness. Reclaiming the parts of you that got tamed. Remembering what it is to be in this body, in this life.
This 90-minute guided, gentle movement session will leave you feeling deeply connected, nourished and alive. It's great for letting go of stress and welcoming in more calm, courage and confidence, to take out with you into the rest of your week.
For more information, head over the The Wheel of the Year: Harnessing Nature's Seasons and Cycles event page!
Tuesday 21st October, 1:30-3pm, Zoom
(Following the main Wheel of the Year workshop at 10am-12:30pm).

Some clients come to me for a wild retreat. Some come for 1-1 coaching. Some join me for my year-long programme BeWild, and some join me online.
This client joined me for my online programme Wild Women's Wisdom which is a mixture of workshops, embodiment sessions and group coaching sessions, all designed to help you access more of your own inner wild (you know, the parts of you that got tamed. Your courage, your authenticity, your resilience, your joyfulness!) whilst also connecting more deeply to the seasons and cycles in the wild "out there".
If you'd like a taste of working with me, whilst also learning more about harnessing the power of nature's seasons and cycles - through understanding how they relate to your own cycles and energy - I highly recommend joining me for my upcoming online workshop The Wheel of the Year (Tuesday 21st October). You'll find more information about it on my website (link in bio) and I'll pop it below too.
Stay wild! 🌿

Head to London. Immediately find the wildest place possible! 🤪🌿🌳😂
Wild woman on tour!
Here for the One Woman Conference, where I’ll be MC for 400 incredible women open to growth and connection over two days. I love this event, but it’s also pretty full on being in a hotel for two days, so I’m topping up on Vitamin N and D while I can! ☺️🌿

Free Spirit. Wild Adventurer. Coach. Trainer. Guide. Inspirer of Courage and Reminder of Dreams.
Jen knows a thing or two about following dreams. As a well-respected, well-paid, high-flying actuary and manager in a prestigious FTSE100 Financial Services company, Jen was a glowing example of success in the corporate world. Then a painful and scary tumble into overwhelm, burnout and depression made Jen realise that actually, despite the shiny suit, a 'perfect' relationship and a beautiful house, she was not very happy at all.
Investing in a coach, Jen started to take back control of her existence and explore what she really wanted to do with her one wild and precious life. Two things came through loud and clear: Live life. Help others. Stepping off the conventional path, she took the courageous decision to move out of corporate life and follow the path of her heart; embarking on a journey of self-discovery, retraining and upskilling.
Jen combined her many years of experience in management and coaching within the corporate space with her passion for the wild to found nature-based wellbeing business WildFire Walks. She also went on to certify as a One of many™ Certified Women's Coach and Trainer, graduated from the WildWise "Call of the Wild" Foundation in Outdoor Leadership programme and trained as a Voice Dialogue facilitator.
Jen works with successful, smart, professional women in their 30s and 40s who from the outside, seem happy and successful, but behind the scenes are feeling trapped, lost, with no space to breathe and feeling like something's missing. An expert at challenging long-held limiting beliefs, holding the space for vision and possibility and believing in you until you're ready to believe in yourself, Jen helps you find the courage, connection and clarity to explore what you really want from life, and then feel empowered enough to live it!
Jen is a gentle, encouraging coach much loved by her clients. With a dash of playful rebel, she gently pushes back against the "should-dos" and "should-bes" so often imposed by our culture, our upbringing, our workplaces. Jen knows what it means to succeed in the traditional corporate world...and what it's like to not want that, actually. She believes, and champions, that there is a different way.
What Jen's clients say:
Alongside supporting her clients, Jen is a keen adventurer and liver of life. Past adventures range from a charity solo walk from Land's End to John O'Groats - a life-changing and soul-affirming 1,400 mile journey - to spending a summer living off-grid in a yurt in the woods and writing about her experiences, to embracing the semi-nomadic life with a year of no fixed abode. Earlier this year Jen spent time with the indigenous San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert and is part of an action group to help preserve their ancient culture and support them in their fight against TB.
Jen is committed to continuing her own inner journey exploring truth, freedom and possibility. Her purpose: to playfully push the boundaries of what's possible in life, and to encourage and inspire other women to do the same.
