About this Retreat
The founder of Inner Earth and a Life Journey Coach, speaker, author and student counsellor and psychotherapist.
With over 15 years of experience as a personal trainer and nutrition coach, my journey began with a passion for helping people improve their physical health.
I believe life is a journey of learning and growth and by guiding you to explore your true self, I can help you find clarity and purpose.
“Life must be lived forwards but can only be understood looking backwards.”
After years of working as an engineer, I sought a change (the kind we’ve all felt at some point), and trained as an outdoor instructor.
Now 4 years into that lifestyle, I have been climbing, hiking, paddling and adventuring all over the world.
I’ve discovered that working with others in nature is a great opportunity to share moments of peace, exhilaration, and testing our limits.
“Smile when the rain comes so you can appreciate the sunshine.”
I’m Lucy Wallace, an integrative counsellor specializing in embodied approaches to chronic health conditions and grief.
My journey began with a passion for contemporary dance and complementary therapies, evolving during a transformative cycling trip from London to India.
Along the way, I discovered a love for photography, deepening my connection to people, places, and healing.
I’m excited to be a co-facilitator on this Inner Earth retreat.
“Without change there would be no butterflies.”
