Vera and Alisha are partners in both life and work, they share a background in nursing and an interest for holistic wellbeing. Vera followed her passion for health early on, retraining as a nutritionist and later a yoga teacher. Her Hatha Flow classes offer fun, light‑hearted sequences that make movement feel joyful and accessible. Over time, her enthusiasm for wellness inspired Alisha to join her on this path. Alisha discovered her own calling through sound, training as a gong practitioner who is now dedicated to create immersive, transformative sound journeys.

Together, they began hosting day retreats across the South East before launching their first full retreats in 2024. For two and a half years, they travelled and lived in their van, embracing a slower, more intentional way of life that deepened their connection to nature and to each other. They now call North Wales home, where the landscape’s wild beauty provides the perfect backdrop for the retreats and experiences they create.

My name is Ailsa, and I’m a Welsh outdoor instructor based in North Wales. I’ve spent much of my career working in the outdoors through climbing instruction, mountain walking, scrambling, and other adventure-based activities across Eryri / Snowdonia. After taking time away from instructing to train in carpentry, I found myself drawn back to the mountains and to creating spaces where people can reconnect — both with nature and with themselves. That journey led me to create Siwrnai — the Welsh word for “journey”.

Through Siwrnai, I offer guided outdoor experiences rooted in exploration, curiosity, and reconnection. My work ranges from adventurous days in the mountains and on the water to slower, more reflective practices such as Forest Bathing and nature connection. I’m passionate about creating inclusive and welcoming outdoor spaces, particularly for people who may not always feel represented or comfortable in traditional outdoor settings. Alongside this work, I also founded Queer Hiking North Wales as part of my wider commitment to belonging, community, and access in the outdoors.

I believe outdoor spaces can be powerful places for healing, reflection, adventure, and growth. My approach is about guiding without over-directing — creating opportunities for people to slow down, tune into their surroundings, and experience nature in a more mindful and connected way.

I am a qualified walk leader who lives in North Wales so am very excited to show people the beauty of this space.
