A nature-led pathway to heart and harmony
in connection with yourself, nature and each other
I’m Amanda, Certified Forest Therapy Guide, ACCP Advanced Coach and Meditation, Breath & Cacao Facilitator.
I weave together these evidence-informed practices with nature-based wisdom to help people find calm, reconnect with themselves, and realign with their heart's path.
My work supports women navigating stress, burnout or life transition - as well as organisations seeking preventative wellbeing, and facilitators building ethical, nature-based businesses of their own.
Whether you're drawn to group experiences, 1:1 support or workplace partnerships, my work is grounded, heart-led and designed for modern life.
It’s back for Autumn!

For Individuals
I support women who are ready to slow down, steady themselves, and reconnect with what truly matters.
Some arrive feeling burnt out or stretched too thin, needing space to regulate stress and rebuild their wellbeing. Others are navigating change, questioning direction, or sensing a quiet disconnect between the life they’re living and the one they long for - all drawn to a more natural, grounded way forward.
Through my 6-week Elements of Wellbeing programme and personalised 1:1 support, I offer a compassionate space to restore balance, strengthen resilience, and move forward feeling clear, capable and true to yourself - gently and at your own pace.
-
For Organisations
I partner with organisations to deliver research-informed workplace wellbeing sessions that strengthen resilience, reduce stress, and support sustainable performance.
From a single forest-bathing walk to a team nature day or a six-session cohort programme, I help organisations build practical, preventative approaches to long-term wellbeing.
Each partnership is clearly scoped, outcome-focused and aligned with your organisational objectives.

A Little More About Me
My work began long before Lets Step In existed.
After 15 years in the fashion industry, I found myself in a cycle of burnout, disconnection and quietly questioning everything. On paper, I was successful - inside, I was exhausted and lost. A panic attack on a beach after work became the moment I could no longer ignore what my body had been trying to tell me.
Nature became my teacher. Getting to know my true self became my practice. Choosing a different way of living and working became non-negotiable.
What started as personal healing grew into professional training and now years of guiding others through their own seasons of change.
I know what it feels like to hold it all together on the outside while feeling stretched and broken within - and how powerful it is to pause, listen, and rebuild from a place of steadiness.
My lived experience shapes how I hold space today - gently, practically, and without pressure.
