These walks started in 2024/2025, and are facilitated by individuals who have their own lived and living experience of grief and loss, as well as a belief in the positive and mutual benefits of nature and wellbeing.

About us

Erika Feng is a landscape architect holding a Master’s degree in Urban Health from UCL. Her work focuses on designing equitable landscapes, with particular attention to how green spaces are experienced by different groups across diverse cultural and social contexts. She is involved as a visual designer in the Reflective Walks project, where she draws on her background in landscape architecture to explore and communicate the healing potential of green spaces.

Jane Faulkner is an accredited member of BACP and a Forest Bathing and Ecotherapy Practitioner. She has worked therapeutically in a variety of venues, in addition to a private practice. She has extensive experience of designing and delivering training, facilitating groups and most recently has been leading a weekly grief walk for the North London Foundation Trust.

Dr Kamil McClelland is a GP trainee and recently completed a Masters in Urban Health at UCL. Following personal experience of grief, he became interested in the healing potential of greenspaces and so became involved in the Reflective Walks project. He has a background in global health and humanitarian medicine and has a particular interest in medical care for marginalised groups, including migrants and people experiencing homelessness.

Emma Shaw is led by a deep care for the Earth, and has spent the last decade supporting various eco-projects and charities in conservation, rewilding and regenerative food growing. She offers Nature Walks and Forest Bathing Sessions to facilitate a journey of reconnection between us and nature. www.walkingroots.co.uk
