About Wild Rising
Our Why
At Wild Rising, our “why” is simple – we want to contribute something good to the world.
We exist to make life brighter for teen girls: to ease their burdens, lift their spirits, and remind them of the strength, resilience, and kindness they carry — even when it’s tucked behind screens or quiet smiles.
We know life can bring silent pressures, self-doubt, and distractions. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unseen.
Through nature, creativity, and connection, we offer space to pause, reconnect, and rise.
We believe that when girls feel supported and empowered, they not only thrive — they become fierce protectors of each other and the planet.
Mission
We empower girls to build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self through nature-based experiences that foster connection, well-being, and personal growth. In safe, inclusive spaces, they explore their strengths, embrace who they are, and grow the skills to navigate life with confidence and purpose.
Vision
We envision a world where every girl feels empowered, valued, and connected—to herself, her community, and the natural world. Through grounding experiences in nature, we help nurture a lifelong sense of belonging and care for the Earth.
Values
We’re a purpose-led social enterprise grounded in values of empowerment, inclusivity, and integrity. We believe in creating safe, supportive spaces where all girls feel seen, heard, and valued. Nature is at the heart of everything we do—we honour its power to calm, connect, and inspire. Through meaningful experiences, we nurture confidence, community, and care for the planet.
Our Team
Katie
I’m a nature-based educator, teen mentor, and co-founder of Wild Rising, with over a decade of experience helping young people reconnect with the outdoors — and themselves.
Nature has always been my reset button — a place to catch my breath, find clarity, and recharge. And it doesn’t have to be some wild adventure (although those are fun!). Often, it’s just the warmth of the sun, birdsong in the morning, or dappled light filtering through the trees. These simple moments in nature can bring calm, confidence, and joy. And now science backs what many of us have always felt — that time in nature supports mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
Over the years, I’ve led outdoor adventures, supported teens on conservation projects, and run nature-based programs in schools and the community.
Being a mum to my two daughters is a constant inspiration — they keep me on my toes, make me laugh, and remind me every day why this work truly matters.
I’m here to create a space where girls feel seen, valued, and free to be their awesome, authentic selves. Because when young people feel supported and connected like this, they don’t just grow — they thrive. And more than that, they rise with strength, compassion, and purpose.
