Dreams don’t usually arrive fully formed they start as a quiet feeling that there’s something more meant for you.

Just over 5 years ago, I listened to that feeling and took a leap of faith. I left my secure job at the NHS with no real plan… only a deep desire to live differently. I wanted to spend more time outside, closer to nature and free from the four walls that no longer felt right.

It wasn’t easy. People questioned my decision and at times, so did I. There were moments I wondered if I was being unrealistic. But I kept working hard and trusting that inner pull, even when I couldn’t yet see where it was leading.

Slowly, things began to shift.

Day by day, I was getting closer to doing a job that feels aligned with who I truly am and that makes a difference.

So if you’re holding onto a dream, unsure whether to take that first step… this is your reminder: You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to trust yourself enough to begin.

And if you needed a sign… this might be it ✨️

It’s the growing season, and our nettles are ready to be harvested and turned into a delicious cordial! 🌱

If you haven’t tried nettle cordial before, you’ll be surprised to find it tastes very similar to elderflower. It’s a natural powerhouse for the body, acting as a potent antihistamine to help ease hay fever symptoms—perfect for when the pollen count starts to rise. 🤧✨

I’ve been making nettle cordial with kids at our Unplugged Clubs for years. It’s a brilliant way to teach them about wild plants and show them that the best treats don't have to come from a supermarket. The best part? Once the kids try it, they never want anything else!

If you have a patch of nettles in your own garden and want to try making it yourself, comment "NETTLES" below and I’ll send you my recipe!

Alternatively, you can join me this Thursday and make some to take home during our Family Gardening session. For more info on our sessions or to save your spot for Thursday, visit the link in my bio.

Remember the freedom of being outside until dark? Exploring, making mistakes, and just being a kid? In a world of digital distractions and busy schedules, those "old school" experiences are becoming a rarity.

At Unplugged Clubs, I am trying to offer that childhood back to the children of Surrey. No filters, no algorithms just real skills, real risks, and real confidence.

👦 **Boys Forest Club:** Thursdays, 4:30–6:00pm at Tree Canopy Woodland. Building, tool work, and fire cooking.

There’s something many of us have been feeling, but not always able to put into words… a quiet longing to be closer to nature. 🌿

It’s a natural need we all share. Our bodies know it.

Time spent outdoors — digging, planting, creating with our hands helps soothe our nervous systems and brings a sense of calm, wonder, and awe that’s hard to find elsewhere. We feel happier, more connected and fulfilled after a day in nature.

If you’re feeling that pull, come and join our Thursday afternoon Family Gardening sessions.

🗓 Next session: 16th April
⏰ 12:00pm – 3:00pm

These sessions are for families who feel the call to be outdoors, children are very welcome to join too.

🌿⚒️ I’ve recently developed an interest in heritage crafts and prehistoric tool-making. It’s a step toward the self-sufficiency I hope to achieve one day. Exploring these traditional crafts helps me understand and appreciate what it takes to make something from scratch, something that I also want to pass on to children.

Tomorrow, together with my craft fairy Leah I’m excited to take children on a creative journey, helping them discover the joy of making something from beginning to end. We’ll be creating simple stone amulets and prehistoric tools, starting with designing, then choosing the right materials and finally crafting a unique piece that they will take home.

The goal is to get children off screens and immersed in the flow of the creative process.

If you think your child would enjoy the session, we still have a few spaces available for tomorrow.
Please see the link in bio or send me a DM for details.

🌿 Help me bring the Medicine Wheel Garden back to life!

A few years ago, I began a dream: creating a Community Herbal Apothecary and a Medicinal Wheel Garden at the back of Home Farm Allotment. Since then, life has been busy and this beautiful space is ready for some extra love and a few more pairs of hands to help it truly flourish.

I’m so excited to open the garden for Weekly Family Gardening Sessions. I’d love to invite our community to get your hands in the soil, connect with nature and learn about the magic of herbs.

What to expect:
We’ll potter through seasonal tasks like sowing seeds, pruning, propagating and general garden care. There’s no pressure, you can work at your own pace and stay for as long (or as little!) as suits you and your family.

Whether you're a home-educating family or just looking for a mindful afternoon outdoors, you are so welcome here.

📍 Where: Tree Canopy Wellbeing Garden
📅 When: Every Thursday (Term Time)
⏰ Time: 12pm – 3pm
📩 To Join: Simply DM us or email info@guidedwellbeing.co.uk

Let’s grow something beautiful together!

Summer Term bookings for our Unplugged Clubs are LIVE!

Following a successful Spring term at Bell Farm School, bookings for our Unplugged after-school clubs are now LIVE for the Summer term! Starting after the Easter holidays, we are offering two clubs in the Forest School area designed to help children reset, regulate, and swap "screen time for green time"

🌳 Unplugged Forest Club: A space for child-led play, woodworking, and campfire activities to build independence and life skills.

🎨 Unplugged Young Artists & Creators Club
A brand-new club for unleashing children's imagination and creativity. Children will experiment with raw materials like clay, wood, textiles & metal and have the freedom to create and design in their own unique way.

Both clubs focus on connection with nature and offer a much-needed break from digital distractions.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mothers out there ❤️
Motherhood often reminds me of trees. We stay deeply rooted no matter the circumstances, adapt to changing seasons, and remain strong and loving even when no one sees the effort behind it.

One of our lovely volunteers shared this poem with me, and it felt like a beautiful reflection of the strength and warmth that mothers bring into the world.

The first light after winter,
Her endlessly warming glow
Glittering on the river,
Its life-sustaining flow

The morning dew
That arrived without a sound
Left everything refreshed
Wherever she was found

Guiding us back
Like stars in the night sky
Each glimmering constellation
Like the twinkle in her eye

Rooted deep in the earth,
She sways but never breaks
Withstands the changing winds
By doing whatever it takes

The birdsong at sunset
When the shadows grow long,
Promising a better tomorrow
Where we all belong

Thinking of all the mothers in our community today. 💛

Happy International Women’s Day 💓✨️💃

Today felt like a very special day, as I allowed myself to pause and be taken care of something I don’t often do. Like many of you reading this, I’m usually the one on the other side, giving and looking after everyone else. So receiving a beautiful sauna treatment, drinking cacao, and spending the day in the company of other women felt very nourishing.

So many of us are used to putting ourselves and our needs last. But we are just as important as everyone else. On this Women’s Day, I wish that we allow ourselves moments to pause, to receive, and to be cared for too. ✨

Thank you Milda .us for sharing this day with me, same time next week 😉💃✨️?

“Imagination is the source of every form of human achievement.” Sir Ken Robinson

Children are brilliant at coming up with ideas, especially when they have the freedom to experiment and invent on their own terms. Their imagination switches on and they get into a creative flow, a magical state that I have witnessed many time at the

Today, during our 1st afterschool club at Bellfarm School, I enjoyed watching children getting into the creative flow and was so impressed with a group who started a Stick Shop, complete with a handmade sign, their own currency, products and a thriving little enterprise ;)

Often, those childhood ideas can become the seeds of future careers 🙌✨️
