Meet G

A consistent boost for me throughout this period was time spent in nature.  Taking a stroll along the coastline, feeling the breeze on my face, walking through the beautiful mountains or exploring calming ancient woodland or forests.

Now, I’ve always enjoyed nature, especially having explored some amazing landscapes worldwide, however, I never really appreciated quite how much energy, motivation and lift nature gives us, until recently.

Fascinated by the affect nature had on my mood, I started to learn how our neurotransmitters, or brain chemicals, can be positively affected by nature, then I discovered the mindful Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku, otherwise known as Forest Bathing. I took a particular interest in the neurotransmitter Dopamine as this can be dysregulated in those of us with ADHD.  and I also learnt how meditation can also boost our dopamine levels. This prompted me to start meditating, and led me to my meditative gong bath journey.

What inspired G Nature & Wellbing?

Nature’s Health impact on both our psychological and physiological Health & Wellbeing has compelled me to evaluate my values and intrinsic drivers. I found that over time a need for purpose crept its way into my top 3 motivational drivers, alongside creative and learning.

This shift resonated with me as I pondered my future and discoverd my Ikigai, my motivating force in living a fulfilled life, which combines my passion for travel, Wales, self development, people, wellness and nature.

So I went about retraining and setting up G Nature & Wellbeing, an opportunity to help others find their calm and restorative states through wellbeing pratices that helped me cut through the stress, brain fog and anxiety, whilst spending less sedentary time indoors and more time outdoors.
