About Me

Hello, I'm Imelda

I am so happy you are here.


My passion is to empower you to reconnect with the immense beauty and transformational power of nature.


Mindfulness, walking and nature is the ultimate combination that has allowed me to become calmer, gentler and more connected, particularly in times of challenge.


Join me and allow yourself to discover your joy within.

Today we start your journey in living fully. Mindfully.

Since leaving the rolling hills of my childhood home in County Tyrone, aged 20, I have sought out green spaces to breathe in.


Until I was faced with the sharp angles of city living, I hadn't recognised the comforting and nurturing embrace of the countryside.


Nature soothes us simply by 'being there', and asks nothing in return.


While the hills and countryside is in my veins, my love of mountains was born following an arduous 3-day trek up Mount Meru in Tanzania more than 20 years ago.  And to this day it has been one of the most transformational experiences in my life.

Imelda mindful by nature

I discovered meditation

Amidst a challenging life event in 2012 I discovered meditation and anchored myself in a practice that led me from chaos to calm, inspiring me to qualify as a mindfulness teacher and mountain guide in 2016 - two of my favourite things.


My entire career has involved working in supportive environments with people who have complex needs as a result of abuse and childhood trauma, and the ability to care for my own wellbeing has become integral to allowing me to care for others.

This is my passion

Mindful By Nature has grown from my passion to share my love, knowledge and experience of nature and mindfulness.



My qualifications and training include;

Integrating Mindfulness & Compassion (CPCAB)

Advanced Reflexology Diploma

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

Connect 5- 5 Ways to Wellbeing

Mental Health First Aider

REC Outdoor First Aid

Mountain Leader UK

Enhanced DBS 


"Imelda's retreats changed my outlook, my reactions and how I see myself."
 - Julie Gardens



"We had wonderful feedback from our exam students." 
- St Mary's School


I want to help educate you and improve your wellbeing through proven methods of mindfulness. It's been a wholesome experience for me helping clients since 2012. I've helped reduce stress, anxiety and pressure in clients from a variety of backgrounds, from those in demanding jobs and time-starved parents, to young adults finding their footing.


Practice makes for lasting wellness. When learning the piano, you don't get taught one song for an hour and move on, you continue to practice the same song until it becomes second nature.


To live fully and to live mindfully is an immersive experience.  Committing to a course, a day retreat or a weekend of practice is the start of a beautiful journey.


Let's take a look at where to start.
