Time spent outside in nature, especially engaging in ‘Nature Connection’ is something we are increasingly aware is beneficial for human health and wellbeing - we are, after all, an inherent part of the world’s living ecosystems.

Sleep is a key part of our wellbeing, and getting good quality sleep, and enough of it, is vital to our health and wellbeing. But it can feel like a huge challenge sometimes, especially in midlife when hormones and the heap of life stress coincide.

Giving ourselves permission to press pause, switch off the autopilot and take a few breaths can feel really tricky in the face of chronic busy-ness, and when we’re stuck on the merry-go-round of our life.
