About me
Healing Through Nature,
Connection, and Inclusivity
Guiding you to rediscover balance,
resilience, and joy through holistic
practices and nature-based therapies.
Hello, my name is Rachida, and I am a passionate advocate for holistic well-being, nature-based therapies, and inclusivity. My journey has been shaped by personal challenges and a deep commitment to helping others heal and thrive.
With a Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing and specialised certifications in Forest Bathing, Forest Therapy, Sound Therapy, and Understanding Autism, I combine professional expertise with personal experience to create inclusive, transformative spaces for healing.
My Journey of Healing and Growth
A Lifelong Passion for Care
From an early age, I dreamed of a career dedicated to helping others. While I initially considered medicine, I discovered my true passion in nursing—a profession that allowed me to provide hands-on care and build meaningful connections with people. My Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing became the foundation of my career, shaping my understanding of how deeply our physical, mental, and emotional health are interconnected.
Inspired by Family
As a mother to four incredible daughters, all diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, my understanding of caregiving was transformed. Their unique needs inspired me to think creatively about how to nurture and support them. Recognizing the immense benefits of outdoor environments for individuals with special needs, I became a Forest School Leader to help my children thrive in nature. To deepen my ability to meet their needs, I also earned a Therapeutic Certificate for Outdoor Leaders and completed Makaton Levels 1 to 4, empowering me to communicate more inclusively and effectively.
Finding Solace in Nature
During some of life’s most challenging moments, including navigating the complexities of divorce, I discovered the profound healing power of nature. Immersing myself in the natural world brought me peace, clarity, and resilience, inspiring me to integrate this connection into my professional life. This journey led me to train as a Forest Therapy Practitioner and Forest Bathing Guide, where I now help others find the same solace and strength in nature.
A Life of Resilience and Growth
Life continues to shape me. Navigating the challenges of divorce has taught me about grief, resilience, and the capacity for transformation. These experiences reinforce my belief that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about embracing the whole self: body, mind, and spirit.
This philosophy drives me to continuously expand my knowledge and tools. I am currently studying Counseling, Naturopathy, and Therapeutic Nutrition, so I can offer an even more holistic approach to wellness. I believe that within ourselves—and in nature—we possess the tools to thrive. Sometimes, all we need is the right guidance to rediscover this truth.
Guiding You on a Transformative Journey
At the heart of my mission is the belief that healing comes from connection: connection with ourselves, with others, and with the natural world. My practice combines my professional expertise, personal experiences, and a holistic approach to help individuals overcome grief, stress, and emotional overwhelm.
Whether through nature immersion, sound therapy, or personalised support, I am here to help you find balance, peace, and growth. Let’s embark on this journey together—where healing meets inclusivity, and nature becomes the bridge to a healthier, more balanced life.
