GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD.
GET BACK INTO YOUR HEART
NATURE - CREATIVITY - HEALING - EXPERIENCE
I help people work out what their authentic life actually looks like, and how to step towards it on their own terms - through nature, creativity, coaching and real world experience.
What if the life you're working so hard to create isn't actually the life you want?
THINKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT LIFE ?
A PLACE FOR PEOPLE WHO FEEL THERE MUST BE ANOTHER WAY.
Are you constantly busy, but not really living?
Have you ever wondered what your life would look like if you stopped doing what you think you should be doing?
Maybe you're thinking about leaving your career, moving abroad,simplifing your life, living closer to nature - or perhaps you simple know something needs to change.
You don't have to know the answers yet.
Wylde Roots is a place to step back. Think differently and start working out what your life actually looks like when you stop living according to someone else's ideas of success.

In Their Words
In Their Words
I DIDNT JUST DREAM ABOUT A DIFFERENT LIFE.
I BUILT ONE.
I spent 16 years working within the corporate world, eventually helping run a business with thousands of people.
From the outside, I had the career, the responsibility and the version of success I thought I was supposed to want.
Then I walked away.
Seven years ago I moved to Portugal with a car, a caravan, a tent and around €10,000.
Since then I've lived on rural land in tents, yurts and caravans, bought and rebuilt ruins, managed water and power systems, lived beside a river, built businesses, run an Airbnb, worked with people through major life changes and appeared twice on Ben Fogle's New Lives in the Wild.
I've experienced the freedom. I've experienced the fear. I've made expensive mistakes. I've had things break, plans fail and moments when I wondered what the hell I was doing.
And I've also discovered something I hadn't expected.
I didn't need the life I'd spent so long trying to build. I needed to build a life that actually felt like mine.

FROM THE LIFE I HAD
From this.......
......Fo this.......
......Fo this
....To this.......
YOU DONT HAVE TO COPY MY LIFE.
You don't have to move to Portugal, you don't have to move off grid, you don't have to buy land or quit your job tomorow.
Maybe your answer is changing career, creating your own business, moving to the countryside, simplifying, travelling - or simply making a decision you've been putting off.
The point isn't to live my life.
It's to work out what yours actually is.

is a one‑of‑a‑kind riverside Airbnb, created for people who feel the pull to step away from noise and return to something more grounded and real.
It is a simple, soulful space to rest, reflect, and reconnect with yourself, held by nature and the quiet sound of a flowing river. The environment invites you to soften without effort, offering private river access for swimming and contemplation.

These Practical Guides are designed to be used slowly and intentionally — as companions for reflection, creativity, and presence. Some focus on photography as a mindful practice. Others explore journaling, self-discovery and development, and reconnecting with the natural rhythms of life.
They are practical, grounded, and evolving — meant to be written in, returned to, and lived with over time.
As Seen In
Photography
Bring the
Wylde Home
From dramatic landscapes to the intricate details of nature captured in macro.
Each image is an invitation to pause and reconnect with yourself and the natural world.
My work has been featured in top photography magazines .
But the real reward is when someone puts a piece on their wall and feels what I felt when I captured it.
Each print is produced on carefully chosen materials that honour the depth and emotion of the original moment.
