RETURNING  2026

Meet your guide

'Connecting with nature was a way to return back to myself while experiencing anxiety'


Lotus is a Nature Connection Mentor, Yoga and Meditation Teacher, and professionally trained Outdoor Leader specialising in hiking. Through her business Nature Ritual, she offers transformative women’s hiking and yoga experiences, nature-based retreats, and 90-day transformational programs designed to empower women and help them reconnect with their true essence.


For years, Lotus was a self-proclaimed party girl chasing freedom across the globe - yet beneath the adventure, she found herself caught in cycles of anxiety, escapism, and habits that left her feeling disconnected and restless. It was in nature, away from the noise, that she finally found her way home. In nature’s stillness, she discovered the medicine of presence - a deep remembering that she was never separate from the world around her.


These insights became the catalyst for profound change. Lotus began to release patterns that no longer served her, including her relationship with alcohol, reclaiming clarity, purpose, and connection to life itself. That awakening set her on a path to guide and support others.


Since then, Lotus has immersed herself in the study of nature-based healing, embodied leadership, and the interconnected wisdom of ecology, mindfulness, and movement. A seasoned traveller who has hiked everywhere from Patagonia to Nepal to Alaska, she now channels her lived experience and professional training into guiding others.


Through Nature Ritual, Lotus helps women step into the wild - both within and without - to feel grounded, inspired, and deeply connected through nature, movement, and mindful adventure. 


Lotus works in collaboration with Loving HOME Foundation to deliver transformative experiences to women.
