About The Naturally Curious
Helping busy people reconnect with themselves.
You’re often the capable one, the one people rely on.
Life is full. Responsibilities are constant. And yet, something feels slightly off.
The Naturally Curious creates space for busy adults to pause and reconnect with themselves.
Through guided experiences intentionally held in natural environments, we support nervous system regulation, restore balance, and create the conditions for you to reconnect, with yourself, with others, and with a renewed sense of energy and clarity.
About the Founder
Hi, I’m Chantelle, the Founder of The Naturally Curious.
I’ve always been curious about people, nature, and how we can live well. For years, I tried to balance a demanding work and life schedule, expectations, and responsibilities, always doing things for others. Doing what I wanted felt like a luxury, and usually ended up at the bottom of the list. From the outside, life probably looked great, successful, busy, and full. But inside, I felt a quiet disconnect, like something was missing.
Nature has always been my refuge. I’ve spent countless hours outdoors, exploring, going on adventures, and wild swimming (my mum always called me her “water baby”), always driven by a love of discovery and a desire to live life to the fullest. But those moments were rare, often squeezed between work and life’s expectations. Over time, I realised that moments of awe, adventure, stillness, curiosity, and connection gave me a clarity and energy I hadn’t found anywhere else, and I wanted more of it.
The Naturally Curious grew from that realisation, and from my refusal to accept life the way everyone else expected. It’s my way of creating space, not just for me, but for others who probably feel the way I did. Here, you can slow down, find balance, reconnect with yourself, and remember what it feels like to feel alive, curious, and fully present, just as humans are meant to.
How I Help & What I do
I create experiences that draw on both ancient wisdom and modern science, combining forest bathing, mindful breathwork, contrast therapy, nature-inspired sauna rituals, nature connection experiences, and immersive retreats, experiences that leave you feeling like something is finally shifting for you, just as it did for me.
A space to pause and reconnect
Life moves fast, and it’s easy to lose touch with yourself. I create experiences that give you space to slow down, notice, and reconnect with yourself, your curiosity, and the natural world around you. This isn’t about doing more; it’s about allowing yourself to simple be.
You’re not alone
One of the most powerful parts of these experiences is realising you’re not alone. Being part of a small, thoughtful community allows for shared reflection, gentle support, and a sense of belonging without pressure, performance, or expectation. These connections can be quietly empowering and remind you that slowing down and showing up for yourself is not just allowed, it’s essential.
Nourishing mind, body and energy
Spending intentional time outdoors helps your body and mind reset. Through gentle, guided experiences, you can start to feel steadier, clearer, and more energised, little by little, in ways that fit your life. This is about creating the conditions for you to thrive, rather than quick fixes or magic solutions.
Curiosity, empathy, and respect
Curiosity drives everything I do; we explore, notice, and reflect in ways that spark wonder. Empathy and respect guide the space we share, so you feel safe, supported, and free to be yourself. It’s about connection: with yourself, with nature, and with others who understand the rhythms and pressures of modern life.
If anything here resonates with you, I’d love to welcome you to join our lovely community.
