Why Wild Wellbeing?
We're remembering the power of nature and connection for families.
one heart,
one community at a time.
There is a growing body of evidence highlighting the benefits of nature connection for parental mental health, infant development, and social wellbeing. Early years frameworks and public health policy (including the First 1,001 Days movement) emphasise the importance of responsive, nurturing care in the earliest stages of life. Nature is the perfect environment for babies to thrive.
Make a difference in the world
Who is this for?
You're passionate about family and nature…
-
Early years educators, nursery staff, and family support workers seeking to add nature-based wellbeing practicesto their skillset.
-
Health and wellbeing professionals (e.g. doulas, midwives, yoga teachers, therapists) wanting to integrate evidence-informed outdoor approaches.
-
Practitioners committed to inclusive, accessible, and safe practice in line with professional standards.
No prior experience in yoga, forest bathing, or mindfulness is required-just a commitment to professional development and family wellbeing.
Why the Wild Wellbeing Diploma Matters
Current research highlights the critical role of:
-
Nature connection in supporting parental mental health and infant sensory development.
-
The first 1,001 days as a sensitive window for emotional regulation, attachment, and resilience.
-
Community-based wellbeing practices in reducing isolation and enhancing long-term family outcomes.
The Wild Wellbeing Diploma aligns with this evidence, giving you the tools to design and deliver classes that are professionally structured, developmentally appropriate, and deeply supportive.
Why this diploma is unique
The Wild Wellbeing Diploma is a comprehensive accredited qualification that combines three specialist courses-Tree Babies, Nature Natal, and Barefoot Beach Babies-to equip you with advanced skills in delivering nature-based parent and baby wellbeing sessions.
This diploma is designed for professionals who want to integrate evidence-informed, outdoor, and holistic approaches into their work with families in the first 1,001 days of life.
This is what we need to focus on now.

Student love for our courses
"I count myself very lucky to have stumbled across the Blossom and Berry website, it has honestly changed my life, I have never felt so passionate and enthusiastic about a subject before and that is all down to Gayle and the way she delivers the courses. I started studying in September and have nearly come to the end of my baby massage course. The online courses are packed full of so much information and videos making it such a fascinating subject to learn. The support from Gayle through 1:1 tuition, phone calls and emails go above and beyond my expectations."
Laura
I started learning with Blossom and Berry in 2017. The course materials have been fantastic! The network or people in the teachers group is so supportive and overall feedback and communication is brilliant. Blossom and Berry has given me the skills and knowledge to be confident when teaching."
Roberta
"Blossom & Berry is simply the best. I converted from another training provider and the difference was incredible. I suddenly had the confidence to do everything I desired. Gayle coming into my life changed everything for me. Blossom & Berry is magic"-CH
Case Studies
Jody's story is one of courage and love. After leaving her career as a nurse, she followed her heart into a new path of nurturing connection. Through Blossom & Berry training, she became a Village Visionary and now runs parent and baby wellness classes in her community. Her work is creating a ripple of love, support, and belonging for families in her local area.
Josie runs the incredibly successful parent and baby wellness hub, The Natural Sensory Nook. With her expertise in early years and play, she has created a thriving space for families to feel supported and connected. When she discovered the Village Visionary Diploma, it was a 100% full-body yes to deepen her impact. Joining the community has allowed her to extend her services and share her passion for nurturing care even further.
Leanne Webster is an absolute inspiration. After overcoming serious mental health challenges during pregnancy and postnatally, she has stepped into her power as a visionary leader and community builder-all while being a devoted mother of four. Her story is a shining example of resilience, courage, and the love that transforms. You can watch her inspirational journey here.

A personal note from Gayle
When I first began exploring how nature could support parents and babies, I realised that the outdoors provides something no classroom can ever replicate: space to breathe, to connect, and to be held by the rhythms of the earth. Over the years, I've seen how nature-based practices can transform family wellbeing-reducing isolation, supporting mental health, and creating communities of care. That's why I created the Wild Wellbeing Diploma: to give you the knowledge, skills, and confidence to lead evidence-informed, nurturing sessions outdoors. This training is the culmination of my 23 years of experience in parent and baby wellbeing, combined with the latest research on the first 1,001 days, attachment, and nature connection. I would be honoured to welcome you into this programme and support you as you grow into a confident, accredited Wild Wellbeing practitioner.
The Blossom & Berry difference is that we have a global community that is here for you.
With Blossom & Berry, you're never on your own.
