InnerWild
An Integrative Nature-Based Practice
InnerWild is a space to return.
Nature-based counselling and coaching, facilitation, and mentorship for individuals, groups, and communities seeking meaningful change.
You are weighed down. Overwhelmed. Burned out. Moving against the grain of your own truth in a world that isn't built to support it.
We have been taught to live as though we are separate, from our bodies, from each other, and from the natural world. That separation has a cost. It shows up as a loss of self, belonging, direction, connection, and purpose. It is the quiet ache beneath the overwhelm.
When we lose our relationship with nature, we often lose touch with ourselves, our communities, and our place within the larger web of life.
InnerWild is a space to return. To remember. To reconnect. To restore relationship, with yourself, with others, and with the living world.
Paula Kent | Nature-Based Coach, Counsellor, Facilitator & Mentor
For over 25 years I have worked with people navigating the deep terrain of their inner lives. This work is rooted in nature, grounded in presence, and held with care.
My work supports individuals, groups, communities, and emerging collectives in creating greater coherence within themselves, their relationships, and the systems they are part of.
You've done the work.
And yet the gap between knowing who you are and living it remains.
What if the gap is simply a symptom of living cut off from the very thing that can restore you?
Nature is more than a setting for this work. It offers a living relationship that can support regulation, perspective, connection, and meaningful change. Whether we meet online or in nature-based settings, reconnecting to the living world you are part of is the ground everything else grows from.
This work is about how you relate, to yourself, to the people in your life, and to the natural world around you.
Healing does not happen in isolation. We are shaped by our relationships, our communities, and the environments we inhabit. My work is rooted in the understanding that individual wellbeing and collective wellbeing are deeply connected.

What I Bring
25 years of lived experience This work is not theoretical. It has been walked, felt, and integrated over a lifetime of working with people in body, mind, and spirit.
Presence and patience - I work in relationship with the rhythms of nature and the wisdom of the body. Growth is not forced. Change is not rushed. There is space to listen, integrate, and move in a way that is sustainable.
The grounded and the sacred - I hold space for the full spectrum - the psychological, the somatic, the spiritual, and the natural world.
A path of heart - I have learned from teachers and elders across many modalities and sacred paths. I continue to walk my own.
Increasingly, my work explores how individuals, groups and communities create the conditions for greater coherence, resilience, and belonging.
