Belinda is committed to protecting and enhancing the environment for future generations.

Belinda's passion for the natural environment began as a teenager growing up in Western Australia's South West. Her parents would take her into the Jarrah forest looking for firewood. She noticed how all her teenage worries faded when she wandered in the bushland.

The

Story

Belinda studied environmental management as a mature age student and went onto a corporate career as an environmental scientist. Belinda's work included developing environmental impact assessments, sustainable development projects and conservation programs.

Then a phone call changed everything. A teenager in her close family received a devastating diagnosis.

Belinda stepped into a key support role over the next few years of gruelling treatment. To manage her own high levels of stress, Belinda turned to meditation and eventually qualified as a meditation teacher. Meditation helped her to support the family as they came to terms with the painful decline and eventual loss of their precious teenager. Meditation had proved its value in the toughest of circumstances.

Through these same years, an increasing number of scientific studies were proving the health benefits of meditation and walking in nature. For Belinda this was no surprise. She knew first hand how powerful these practices could be, but until now she hadn't considered putting the two together.
