Coaching and Mentoring Rooted in Nature
You might be feeling pulled in too many directions. Worn out. Unclear. Or simply aware that something inside you is shifting, even if you’re not sure what it is yet.
Coaching and mentoring offer space to gently explore what’s happening below the surface. My approach is grounded in nature and informed by mindfulness, ecopsychology, and coaching psychology. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about walking alongside you as you slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with what matters.
This is a place for real conversations. The kind that help you make sense of where you are and where you’re going.
Participant Reflections
During a recent mentoring experience with Belinda McCawley, I was able to explore useful and practical ways of developing some business ideas. We had three face-to-face conversations via Zoom where we discussed some of the obstacles and challenges I was experiencing with social media. Belinda provided feedback, practical exercises and resources to support my learning and understanding. Thank you, Belinda. The mentoring helped me move forward with some of those business ideas!

Come Back to Clarity
You may be longing for more stillness. More connection. More purpose.
Together, we can explore what feels stuck or uncertain and move toward clarity, confidence, and gentle change. For some, that happens in an online session with nature nearby. For others, it happens outdoors—walking side by side in a quiet pocket of bushland.
You don’t need to arrive with a perfectly formed goal. You just need to arrive.
