After many years of teaching in schools, Fleur found that she had a passion for helping people in a pastoral role and retrained as a therapeutic counsellor. When a room indoors was being used, Fleur took her counseling session with a Young Person ,outside on the field. She instantly saw how powerful counselling without walls was.
Fleur went on to start her own business as a Therapeutic Counsellor and attended a nature based therapy course to learn more. She then trained as a Nature and Forest Therapy Guide with the ANFT where she learned of forest bathing and became an Eco-Nidra meditation teacher.
Around this, Fleur and her husband Pete are both Scout Leaders and love to see the power of nature and the great outdoors doing it's job with Young People.
Fleur and Pete, now run Nature Escapes and offer wellness retreats, forest bathing sessions, Eco-Nidra meditation sessions and more.
We met with Fleur on a glorious day at Shining Tor in The Peak District National Park and recorded this episode there in the sunshine.
