Lucy Baile

The natural world, and being an authentic, creative part of that world, is very important to me. My work has shown me how roaming freely outside and expressing ourselves is important for our wholeness and happiness as human beings.

I founded 'Fern' as a forest school in August 2012. I'd been working outside with children since 2006. Now, as 'Fern Nature Therapies', I guide children and adults into nature and art. I continue to lead forest school groups as well as  'Nature As Therapy' for individuals. I hold one to one 'Art As Therapy' sessions and run therapeutic art groups for all, 'on-site' in my garden studio, and 'off-site' too.

I see myself as an enabler, a guide, rather than a teacher. 'Learning begins when teaching stops!' - African proverb.
