Bex has always been fascinated by the outdoors and been connected to nature. After leaving a career in academia, Bex moved to Southend-on-Sea, Essex, to be by the coast and to set up Earth Coaching - a coaching practice based in permaculture ethics. Bex acquired an allotment and became part of a community of people who are intersted in growing food and cultivating medicinal plants, which then lead to a keen interest in herbalism and naturopathy. Bex is now training to be a naturopath and herbalist at The Healing Garden.

Bex has also long had a passion for the creative arts. Having written poetry and performed music since their teens, Bex continues to incorporate the arts into their life and is an active member of Southend Art Club. Nature and herbs feature heavily in Bex's poetry, music and artwork. 

Where these two passions overlap is in Bex's interest in how the arts and nature can be used for healing and emotional wellbeing. This continues to inform their Earth Coaching practice and client work.
