Nature and photography have been instrumental in my own journey to find peace, contentment, and fulfilment in life.
A Gentle Invitation to Come Home to Yourself
Hello, I’m Kim - a mindfulness teacher, wellbeing coach, and nature-based guide. I help people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or at a crossroads reconnect with themselves through the healing power of nature, creativity, and presence.
I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to remind you that you are not broken.
Through Naturally Mindful, I create soul-nourishing spaces for women and sensitive souls to pause, breathe, and remember their wholeness. Whether it’s through mindful photography, nature connection walks, creative workshops, or women’s circles, my work is an invitation; to soften, to feel, and to reclaim your agency over your mental wellbeing.
What I Believe
At the heart of everything I do are these values:
Compassion over perfection – This work isn’t about getting it right. It’s about showing up, softly and sincerely.
Accessibility and inclusivity – All are welcome. I offer flexible pricing and trauma-sensitive spaces.
Agency and empowerment – You are the expert in your own healing. I simply walk alongside you.
Reconnection – With nature, with creativity, with your inner wisdom.
Community and belonging – Because we heal better together.
My Journey
Like many of the people I work with, I’ve walked through anxiety, trauma, grief, and burnout. I know what it’s like to feel disconnected - from self, from joy, from purpose. For me, healing didn’t come in one grand breakthrough, but in small, gentle moments: the curve of a leaf, the stillness of water, the click of a shutter, a conversation under the stars.
My background is rooted in service and care. From the military to primary schools, and later to the mental health charity sector, I’ve always been drawn to supporting others. But it was my own lived experience - and my deep connection with nature, that truly shaped my path.
Nature became my sanctuary. Photography became my medicine.
And Naturally Mindful was born from a quiet, powerful truth: that when we slow down and return to the earth, we start to find ourselves again.
In 2024, my partner Lee and I founded Mudita Salus CIC, a Community Interest Company focused on promoting wellbeing through nature-based programmes.
