Wild Violets: Women's Community

This April, I'm inviting you to step into the woods.

Join us for a morning hike through Chantry Woods in the Surrey Hills, one of the most magical places to be in spring, when the forest floor transforms into a carpet of bluebells as far as the eye can see.

This is a day designed to help you move, breathe deeply, enjoy the beauty of nature in spring, and reconnect with your body and other like-minded women in the most beautiful natural setting.

Our theme for this walk is Move With Your Cycle, exploring how our energy, strength and recovery needs shift across the month as women, and how moving with our hormonal rhythm rather than against it can change everything. Because most fitness advice was never designed with female physiology in mind. And it's time we changed that.

About Me
I'm Tina, a women's health coach and researcher, currently studying nutrition and functional medicine.

I'm deeply passionate about women's holistic health. I believe that the foundations of a healthy, vibrant life are simpler than we're often told. Movement in nature. Real, nourishing food. Meaningful connections. These aren't extras, they're the essentials. And they're at the heart of everything I do with Wild Violets.

My approach is inspired by the wisdom of the Blue Zones — the places in the world where people live the longest, healthiest lives — where movement is woven into daily life, food is seasonal and shared, and community is everything.

I created Wild Violets to bring that to life through walks in nature, honest conversations, and a community of women who support each other in living well.

I'm inviting you to join us for a beautiful day out in the Surrey Hills, a hike that takes you from the historic windmill on Reigate Heath all the way up to the sweeping views from Colley Hill, with ancient woodland, open downland and the North Downs Way along the way.

This is a walk designed to clear our head and remind us what our body is capable of.

As always, we walk together, stop to breathe, share a picnic, and make space for the kind of honest, nourishing conversation that only really happens when you're moving through nature with like-minded women.
