About Jocelyn

I feel blessed to live with my partner, on a beautiful bush block close to Margaret River on Wadandi Boodja. In 2002 I joined the internship program at Outward Bound Australia where I was first exposed to Outdoor Education and Experiential Learning. Since then I have loved my work as an Outdoor Educator in numerous organisations and schools.

I became exposed to Bush Adventure Therapy in 2013 and it has captured my interest ever since. After some time as a youth worker I decided, (with some encouragement from my support network) to start Right Foot Forward WA, a small business in Western Australia. Initially I was only offering outdoor education programs to marginalised youth, however through the AABAT community I met Laura Engel (Social Worker) who I now work with to provide adventure therapy opportunities for young people through to adults.

I enjoy mountain biking, gardening, hiking and I am always up for a multiday expedition. I also love spending time with friends and family.
