Who's behind Wild+Kind?
Who's behind Wild+Kind?
Wild+Kind is grounded in lived experience and professional expertise, led by someone with a decade of experience designing inclusive, nature-based programmes from grassroots projects to national initiatives, working with government, schools, youth organisations, and community partners.
As a queer adoptive parent and therapeutic caregiver, I know first-hand the realities of trauma, disconnection, and system gaps. I’ve also seen how nature can restore trust and steadiness when everything else feels out of reach.
Wild+Kind is my response. A practical, thoughtful way to make these restorative experiences accessible to everyone who needs them, not just those who know how to ask.
Who’s helping?
Who’s helping?
Wild+Kind isn’t being built alone. It’s shaped by people who’ve offered care, shared insight, helped us imagine better, and given us the nudge to go for it.
One of them is Holly Eliza Temple, a designer who has brought Wild+Kind’s early identity to life with care, curiosity, and a trauma-informed approach.
To everyone who’s challenged, supported, or wondered with us - thank you!

What trauma-informed means to us
What trauma-informed means to us
Being trauma-informed means designing every part of Wild+Kind to prioritise emotional safety, trust, and choice, from the way people are welcomed, to how sessions are structured, to how digital tools are built. We aim to create predictable, steady experiences that support agency, reduce the risk of retraumatisation, and make space for connection and restoration.
