Hi, I’m Gavin. I help people reconnect—with nature, with their communities, and with themselves. Whether it’s through mindful movement, breathwork, or simply slowing down and being outdoors, I support individuals and groups in finding more balance, resilience, and clarity in their lives.

I’ve worked for over 30 years in the hospitality, wellness, and fitness industries, and I bring that depth of experience into everything I do. For the past decade, I’ve also been deeply involved in the charity and social enterprise world—running a Community Interest Company, acting as a trustee, and working closely with people facing real challenges in life.

Much of my work focuses on creating space for those who are often left out—people from refugee backgrounds, those experiencing addiction or homelessness, or young people navigating tough life transitions. I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be to reconnect with natural rhythms, especially when life feels overwhelming or disconnected.

I’m also a father of three and in my fifties now—so I know what it’s like to juggle life’s demands and still want to live with purpose, presence, and vitality. I offer both in-person and online coaching, as well as nature-based group work and corporate wellbeing support for businesses that want to create stronger, more human-centred teams.

I offer sessions in a range of beautiful and grounding locations across Kent—from a rewilding project deep in the Kent Downs with opportunities for wild(ish) camping, to coastal trails and hidden beaches along the southeast coast. Whether it’s a guided run, a nature-based coaching session, or a full retreat, these landscapes provide the perfect backdrop for meaningful connection and change.

If you’re interested in finding a simpler, more grounded way to move forward—personally or professionally—I’d love to connect.
