Explore the Outdoors with Living Wild Adventures

Hello! I'm Jessie and welcome to Living Wild Adventures, (and the story as to how this began..)

 

With a BSc in Sports and Exercise Science, and qualifications in Gym Instructing and Personal Training, I decided to step into the world of outdoor work and since, been a freelance Outdoor Activity Instructor (mainly working with kids but adults too!) and over that time I’ve developed my personal qualifications as well as my experience in the industry, completing both my Climbing Wall Instructor Award and my Rock Climbing Instructor Award, and my Mountain Leader Training (awaiting assessment!). 

I am passionate about bringing outdoor learning into people's lives, getting them to step outside and go on an adventure. I believe sometimes all we need is a bit of fun and some fresh air, and climbing, walking and swimming are all perfect for that. 
I offer introductory sessions to climbing and mountain walking, chilled days in the outdoors doing something different and having fun, an opportunity to expand your skillset with navigational skills, or just a chance to switch off and let me guide you. 

 

In University I focused my Dissertation on 'Green Spaces' and mental wellbeing, to delve deeper into how exploring the relationship between mental wellbeing and the outdoor environment. I have always felt an affiliation with being outdoors, and my studies helped me understand more about how it can bring a sense of calm and clarity to my life. It has also taught me ways to discuss flora and fauna to support learning about handfuls of plants which are edible, medicinal, or harmful, all aimed at encouraging a sense of curiosity and respect for nature. In doing so, it connects us with our Earth, and therefore connecting us to ourselves.

 

I genuinely care about others wellbeing and strive for the best balance of enjoyment and learning throughout my sessions, and I believe through the outdoors, we can all find something that challenges us, excites us, and calms us. To be creating this career that combines all these skills is probably the best opportunity I could imagine. 

All of my events will be advertised on here and on Instagram so make sure you follow so you never miss a chance to take part!
