Welcome to Tellus Mater

Tellus Mater, quite literally means 'Mother Nature' in Latin. So let's get out there and embrace her!

'Find Your Nature'

In a wild nutshell, that is what Tellus Mater is all about.  

 

Softly teaching others the lessons that nature has gifted me. Through these lessons I have found an irrepressible passion for foraging wild foods, leading to a renewed interest in both baking and cookery, and also some solace, respite and healing from trauma and addiction along the way too.

 

Not only is foraging and 'being' in nature great for our mental health and well-being, it can also have a pretty positive impact on our pockets and our overall connection to the planet. 

 

 Can foraging and immersing yourself in nature change your life?

 

 ​I believe it can.

 

 Learning, or rather relearning what our ancestors used to do to survive, by getting outside and reconnecting more, can allow you to reclaim both generationally lost knowledge and subsequently power within your own self, to allow you to heal and recover from many different things. ​ I am here to show you how. Hopefully you can then walk a path of your own with a happier and more positive life ahead of you, whilst also feeding yourself exceedingly well, both literally and metaphorically too.
