About
Hi I'm Pippa — the person behind Yew in the Wild. I am your certified Forest Bathing and Nature Connection Guide. I guide people into meaningful, healing relationships with the living world and a deeper remembering of themselves as part of it.
My path here hasn't been linear. I came to this work through lived experience — caring for others, working with the land, and walking my own journey of healing. Before forest bathing, I ran my own gardening business, and previously a care business supporting both older people and young adults. I began to notice how being outdoors — even in the smallest ways — created space for ease, presence and a quiet kind of transformation.
This deepened my belief that when we slow down enough to notice, we can be supported by the more-than-human world around us. — especially when life feels tender, overwhelming, or uncertain. A belief that the wild is not somewhere we go, but something we are.
I've since trained in Forest Bathing and Nature Connection, with twice accredited training from the Complimentary Medicine Association and Institute for Outdoor Learning through Adore Your Outdoors. I continue to learn from the land itself, from wise teachers, and from each person I guide. My practice is relational, intuitive and inclusive — with a gentle, trauma-aware approach and a grounding in kindness, consent and deep listening.
Whether you're arriving with grief, burnout, curiosity or longing — you are welcome here.
You don't have to explain.
