About Life Between The Trails

Welcome — I'm Amy

​

Life Between the Trails began from something that has always been a huge part of my life: a love of being outdoors.

​

I grew up exploring nature, and some of my happiest memories were made outside. Woods, water, muddy boots, family walks and the feeling of discovering somewhere new have always felt like home to me. As I've grown older, that love of nature has become something I've been passionate about sharing with my own family too.

​

Life Between the Trails was originally created as a place to document our adventures — the family camping trips, hikes, paddleboarding, kayaking, wild swims and everyday moments spent exploring the beautiful places around us. I wanted to show that adventure doesn't have to mean climbing mountains or travelling across the world; sometimes it's found on a woodland trail, beside a stream or during a spontaneous afternoon outdoors with the kids.

​

But over time, Life Between the Trails grew into something more.

​

Alongside my love of the outdoors, I'm an Occupational Therapist and Sensory Integration Practitioner, and through both my professional experience and my own life I became increasingly aware of the powerful role nature can play in supporting wellbeing. Not through doing anything extraordinary, but simply through slowing down, noticing the world around us and creating space to reconnect.

​

That led me to train as a Certified Outdoor Therapist and begin offering gentle nature-based wellbeing sessions in my local community. These sessions are designed to provide welcoming, inclusive opportunities for people to spend meaningful time outdoors, connect with nature and support their wellbeing in a low-pressure environment.

​

Today, Life Between the Trails brings those two passions together.
