"Our hearts and souls are in the great outdoors......... going for a mini adventure for a few hours or disappearing into the woods for a couple of weeks; are the sort of experiences that make our family happy."
We both have a lifelong love of the outdoors; and our lives together, along with our children, revolve around the natural world.
Danielle spent most of her childhood in the woods thanks to her father being a survival instructor in the late 80's early 90's and then went on to have a career specializing in child development. These two background credentials have led her to become an extremely passionate and inspirational practitioner who uses bushcraft, Forest School, and the natural environment as a medium. Danielle believes every child has the right to a childhood full of adventure and every adult has the right to continue that adventure.
