the overstory

I found my way back from cortisol burnout, and into a place of deep hyggelig contentment through nature connection, and now prioritise spending time outdoors with my dog over everything else. And anyone can do the same.. find out more, including micro-dosing tips for everyday suburban living in my book..

'For over 90% of our evolution, the pace of human life moved in harmony with nature, a slow, deliberate rhythm that saw us living symbiotically with the land. But the advent of the Industrial Revolution shattered that cadence, propelling us into a whirlwind of change that our nervous systems were ill-prepared to handle... it is believed we humans inherit ancestral DNA markers from our distant past—remnants of a time when we lived in closer harmony with the earth...Despite the relentless march of modernity, our nervous systems still find peace within the embrace of nature, responding to the quiet chemistry of phytoncides, the gentle rhythms of natural light, the invigorating touch of negative ions, and the grounding connection to the earth beneath our feet.'

I started my working life blissfully leading groups in the UK mountains, however it was the 15 years of work as a full time photographer that eventually left me burnt out. Returning to the wild - through mountain adventures, wild camps and time spent making memories with my dogs - restored my peace and happiness. 

Over the next five years, I delved into the science of nature connection and its healing powers, which became the foundation of my book 'Finding Hygge in the Wyld'.

Today, I try to live a simple life with my dog, sharing my passion for the outdoors through adventure dog walks.
