Hiker on Edge

Louise

“I decided to challenge myself and go for it. I am so happy I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone…not only was it an amazing experience, but now I know what I can achieve when I put my mind to it & don’t let my self doubt creep!
 
I really did have doubts at times both before & during the hiking. Trust me at times I wanted to give up, but thanks to the support of the community I pushed through! Thank you Andrew for your words of motivation and encouragement!! And not letting me turn back on myself or my goals. I wouldn’t have wanted to share this incredible experience with anyone else."

Sarah

'I like to do things that makes me feel alive. Having spent the most part of two years in lockdown, I wanted to make my body feel alive and not just my mind. I love the outdoors. I love hiking. I love challenges. To experience all three and the rush of adrenaline afterwards was stronger than anything I’ve ever experienced because this time, it was me physically challenging my body to overcome fear, pain and exhaustion rather than just fear.
 
Andrew's stories pushed me to do the best I could do. During lockdown I had forgotten that my body worked. I had forgotten the taste of fresh air. I had forgotten the feeling of achievement. Yesterday those feelings all came flooding back."

Jon

“I am so grateful for everything that Andrew has taught me about myself and who I want to be. His guidance and belief in me have been truly motivating, helping me to recognize my worth and potential.
 
The time I spent in nature under his guidance was incredibly beneficial and allowed me to make significant progress towards my goals. Andrew has an amazing sense of humor and a gift for teaching that made our time together both enjoyable and productive. I will truly miss his presence and influence in my life."

Jack

"Wow my wilderness expedition was an unforgettable experience. It challenged me physically and mentally, but also taught me valuable lessons about myself and the world around me. I was skeptical at first, but this experience changed my life. I learned more about myself in 4 days than I did in years of therapy.
 
The beauty and serenity of nature were awe-inspiring and helped me to disconnect and heal. It was such a welcomed getaway from the distractions of modern life. I would highly recommend this expedition to anyone looking for a transformative, healing and life-changing adventure."

What Is Wilderness Therapy?

Wilderness Therapy is an immersive experience using outdoor activities and natural settings to promote personal growth and healing. The wilderness is a powerful tool because it provides an environment that is free from the distractions and stressors of daily life and allows us to connect with nature and our inner selves. The challenges and rewards of outdoor activities promote personal growth, self-awareness, and self-confidence. The wilderness teaches us to develop coping skills, build resilience, and overcome challenges, all while fostering a deeper connection to nature and the world around us.
