Woodland play, learning and wellbeing for children & adults.
At Tangled With Nature, we are passionate about working with the natural world to educate, play, promote wellbeing, and build confidence.
In the heart of our Devon woodland, our mission is to provide a supportive outdoor sanctuary for people of all ages. We offer forest school sessions for toddlers up to adults, woodland birthday parties and woodland wellness retreats.
Being outside amongst trees and the natural world has transformed my life and those that work with me at Tangled With Nature
We want you to feel as at home and happy in our woodland as we do. Whether you already love the outdoors and want to explore and build on your skills, or are new to all the woodland has to offer and maybe a bit nervous or apprehensive, or you just need to escape and focus on recovery and rejuvenation, we have a session for you.

My passion for forest school, trees and the outdoors comes from witnessing what a powerful effect it had on both mine and my son’s life.
Although my childhood did not involve climbing trees, making campfires or building dens, thankfully I have discovered them in my adult life and have been able to ensure my son experienced woodland activities from an early age. Deciding to home educate my son when he was 8, forest school has been an environment in which he has thrived, and I am lucky to now have him as one of my forest school helpers for the Tangled With Nature family forest school sessions.
Not all children (or adults) develop at the same rate. And this is absolutely fine. We are all different.
My aim is to create amazing forest school opportunities but one that welcomes parents to stay, to be there for those children who struggle to stay alone, who deserve a space where they can grow at their own pace, a space to still take risks and have adventures but where they know their safety net is available if things get tricky for a moment. Equally a space where parents can feel supported and unjudged. Where everyone is encouraged to be themselves.
Evolving and developing over the years, I have brought many aspects of my work together to build Tangled With Nature
Qualifying as a Forest School Leader has changed my life. I cannot express how much I love welcoming people into our woodland environment. As well as setting up the forest school sessions and woodland birthday parties, being able to bring my experience as a complementary practitioner into the woods has been a dream come true. Combining the mindful nature of woodland crafts and forest bathing, with natural therapies such as aromatherapy and reflexology, all in our magical woodland, is an opportunity to promote wellness and calm in the outdoors.
