Rewild Wellness - Rewilding the way we think about wellness

Rewild Wellness

At Rewild Wellness, I help organizations and individuals rediscover the power of nature to foster well-being, build community, and create meaningful impact. As an SSHRC award recipient with a Masters in Community Development, I bring both academic rigour and hands-on experience to everything I do, ensuring that every program and initiative is rooted in theory and real-world application. Through bespoke consulting, program design, and facilitation, I work closely with clients to develop tailored, nature-based solutions that promote sustainability, equity, and connection.

Reconnect & Empower

Our services are built around the idea that nature has the power to heal, inspire, and transform. Whether you’re an organization seeking to build capacity through outdoor programs, a business aiming to create more inclusive and equitable experiences, or an individual looking to reconnect with nature, we tailor our offerings to meet your unique needs.

Our Approach

From program development and facilitation to consulting and outdoor experiences, Rewild Wellness empowers clients to create impactful, nature-based initiatives. We focus on community-building, sustainability, and equity, offering both indoor and outdoor solutions that enhance well-being and deepen connections with the environment.

Why Nature-Based Programs?
