Joining Wild Steps has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our family. From the very first session, we were struck by the positive atmosphere and the sense of community. Jaya does such an amazing job of creating a space where the children feel free to explore and learn at their own pace. Our child has gained so much confidence and developed new life skills that we’ve seen carry over into their everyday life. We especially appreciate how the sessions foster a genuine connection with nature while also encouraging social interaction. It’s been a truly rewarding experience for all of us.

I'm so pleased we found your beautiful group! Being around such warm and genuine people is actually helping us let go of the stress of fitting in at school (for me too!) and being accepted as the unique individuals we are x

We attended a session today and it was wonderful. Kids being kids in nature and also a great space for us parents. Very relaxed and comfortable setting and that’s coming from someone who suffers with social anxiety. 😆 highly recommend.

My son has been talking so much about the other children and the potions, I haven't seen him so connected and engaged in a new group of children in a long time

We had an amazing day at Mindful Wild Steps. The program is incredibly well-organised, with activities that are both engaging and educational. The kids loved every minute of it, from the nature scavenger hunt to learning about local plants and animals. As parents, we appreciated the chance to bond with our children and other families in such a beautiful and peaceful setting. The focus on mindfulness and nature connection is truly special, and we all left feeling refreshed and inspired. Highly recommend this program to other families!

There are so many good things that come from Mindful Wild Steps, Jaya Rose Fox. You introduced me to cacao, which has become my daily nourishment, reunited 2 girls who have become besties and opened our world to new friends. We LOVE Mindful Wild Steps and highly recommend it to others.

We are very thankful for you. Wild steps is what it is because of you, because you've put your heart and soul into it and we see that and we feel that. So Thank You!

There was a positive atmosphere, loads of creativity opportunities and a safe space to be with like-minded people. As a family, we had soo much fun. It was actually better than we anticipated. We decided to join for the term. Our little one has gained more confidence and life skills. He really enjoys hanging out with his new friends, and so do we. So we have continued to recommit each term, and couldn't be happier

Oh also my son said wow there were dads there I was like yeah he goes its always the mums taking children I said yes and he goes it was nice to see dads there and they were all nice. I never thought of it until he said about it think that made it more relaxing for him seeing males doing what society only see mums doing. You have created such a great space for all thank you for allowing us to be apart of it xx

You have provided opportunities for meaningful connections (and reconnections), natural learning, and limitless creativity for all. WE are grateful every week. and look forward to each and every week.

Its a amazing place you have created I can say my children have changed and gained a lot more confidence since coming to wild steps and you should be proud of what you have created as I am grateful for being apart of wild steps not just for my children but for my self so thank you

My son was so inspired yesterday that we have spent the last few hours at Bunnings and in our backyard. We now have a greenhouse

🌿🕸🌞🪷❣️

We love coming to Bush school, Beautiful space, always friendly faces, great energy and the kids love the activities set for the day .

It’s so nice seeing someone who doesn’t just supervise but actually participates. Josh is right there with the kids, building, exploring and having a laugh with them xx

I just love the concept of your group and think what you are doing for the Wildlings is amazing. We are a very lucky group.

I love what you're doing and that you're a Mum running her own business and providing a beautiful space for other parents and kiddos!!!

My 11-year-old daughter absolutely loves attending Wild Steps sessions. Every week, as we leave the sanctuary, she’s already excitedly talking about the next session! The child-led, hands-on approach fosters such a love for nature and has truly strengthened her passion for the outdoors. We’ve seen her build so many new skills, from fire lighting to shelter building, and the connections she’s made with the other kids are so special. I can’t recommend Wild Steps enough!

This program has been a real game changer for my daughter. She’s always loved the outdoors, but Wild Steps has opened up a whole new world for her. She’s learned so much about nature, conservation, and bushcraft skills, and every session seems to bring something new. It’s been wonderful watching her explore, learn, and grow alongside other children, and we both love every minute of it. We’re so grateful for this experience.

You can feel Jaya’s heart in everything she does. She takes the time to connect, remember little details, and make each child feel seen. It’s something really special.

My children absolutely love Mindful Wild Steps 🌳🌿 They have a blast exploring the beautiful environment, engaging in organized activities and free play, and playing with the other children. Jaya is fantastic and does an incredible job organising the sessions. Highly recommend! 👍

Josh is more than just a dad in my eyes. As I mentioned to Josh on Friday, I notice his weekly efforts in connecting "meaningfully" with the bigger kids. Josh connects not only with the families in general but also with the big kids. He finds something special to the individual kid to chat about. I truly appreciate this special effort he makes. Thank you, Josh!

Great session Jaya. Thanks for having us. We are thrilled to be part of your community, and such lovey people too.

Great to finally meet you and your Family - your 'why' - and so impressed with your 'outside the box' endeavour.

Our family has absolutely loved attending Wild Steps. The atmosphere is always so positive and full of creativity, and it's been a fantastic safe space for us to connect with like-minded families. We initially joined to try it out, but it turned into something much more than we anticipated. The sessions have given our little ones so much confidence and new life skills, and they really enjoy hanging out with their new friends. We’ve continued to recommit each term and couldn’t be happier with the experience

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ mindful wild steps is absolutely amazing! Jaya is so knowledgeable and welcoming and makes it so much fun for kids and parents alike! I recommend this program for everyone 😊 give it a go!

I almost didn’t come the first time. Social settings can feel like a lot for me and I tend to overthink everything but as soon as we arrived I felt comfortable. The space is beautiful and everyone is so friendly. My daughter settled in so quickly, and I found myself slowly relaxing too. It’s become something we both really look forward to each week.

Josh is so great with the kids, especially the older ones. He actually gets in there with them, plays, builds, runs around, and they absolutely love it. You can see how much they look up to him.

Our recent visit to Mindful Wild Steps was an outstanding success. The program is incredibly well-organised, offering a variety of hands-on activities that engaged our students from start to finish. The children were thrilled to explore the bush, learn about local wildlife, and participate in practical bushcraft skills. The learning experience was not only educational but also deeply enriching, fostering a greater appreciation for nature among the students. As a teacher, I was impressed by the thoughtful planning and the seamless integration of fun and learning. We look forward to bringing more classes in the future.

My daughter absolutely lights up on the days we come here. She talks about it all week and has built such lovely connections with the other kids. It feels like a little community, which is so special.

We’ve had such a great experience at Wild Steps, and something that really stood out to us was seeing so many dads actively involved in the sessions. It’s so often that these types of activities are filled with mums, so it was really nice for our son to see other dads joining in. It’s helped create a really inclusive, relaxed environment, which has been so valuable for us. Thank you for creating such a wonderful space for everyone!

As someone who suffers from social anxiety, it can be hard to find spaces where both I and my child feel comfortable. But Wild Steps has provided exactly that, a very relaxed and welcoming environment. The kids are free to be kids and explore nature, while the parents have space to connect too. It’s been a really wonderful experience.

[Josh] He doesn't have to make conversation, but he does. And that's an exceptional individual right there <3 The world needs more like Josh. (child) adores him! There's so many things to love about Mindful Wild Steps and this is just another one.

Honestly, we didn’t expect to love Wild Steps as much as we do. It’s become such an amazing part of our weekly routine. Our child has grown in so many ways since joining. She’s more confident, more social, and more curious about the world around her. It’s also been a great way for us as parents to connect with other families who have similar values. We couldn’t be happier that we joined!

Wild Steps has brought so much joy into our lives! Our little one looks forward to it every week and has really blossomed since joining. The activities are always so engaging, and there’s such a strong focus on creativity and nature. We’ve noticed a big change in their confidence, and it’s wonderful seeing them so happy and excited to spend time outdoors with friends. We’re so thankful for this space and can’t recommend it enough.

We felt welcome from the very first session and we 💯 feel that care also and appreciate what you offer it is a amazing, happy and safe environment you sure have created.

They say it takes a village to raise a child and the environment and everyone that attends makes it feels like I've found my village 💗

What I love most about Wild Steps is that it’s not just about the kids it’s about the parents too. It’s been a fantastic way for me to connect with other mums and dads who share the same values. (child) loves the activities and the freedom to play, but I’ve also found it’s such a peaceful and relaxing time for me to unwind and chat with others. We’ve built some really special friendships

Such a welcoming space! Wild Steps has given us a chance to connect with nature in a fun, hands-on way. (child) loves it, and I’ve enjoyed meeting other parents and seeing the kids work together.

We’ve been part of these sessions for a little while now and the difference in my child is so noticeable. More confidence, more willingness to join in, and genuine friendships forming. It’s such a beautiful space ❤️

I just wanted to thank you for your friendship and kindness to us the past year. You are an exceptional human being and I'm incred-ibly thankful for you and Wild-Steps for being in our lives.

I wanted to let you all know how much today felt like "coming home" for us. That sounds corny doesn't it? I loved catching up with the kids and parents.

We are very thankful for you too. Wild steps is what it is because of you, because you've put your heart and soul into it and we see that and we feel that. So Thank You!

You have provided opportunities for meaningful connections (and reconnections), natural learning, and limitless creativity for all. WE are grateful and look forward to each and every week.

Omg what a change in (child) from anxiety ridden not leaving the house or when we did he clung to me asking to go home all the time oh not to mention he would complain he felt sick all the time but today he stepped right out and made some new friends and said yes to hanging out with them straight away and went off with them and I didn't see him hardly at all. If that's all I achieve home schooling him that's a win for me. The change in him is incredible he is a totally different child to what he was a few months ago and I am so proud of him I'm so blessed to have found wild steps and everyone is so friendly and the lady that runs it is so supportive and lovely. Feeling very blessed and happy happy children = happy mummy

We originally came along for my child, though I didn’t expect how much I would get out of it as well. I’ve always found it hard to connect with other parents, though this has felt easy and natural. Jaya creates such a calm, open environment, and having Josh there engaging the kids means there’s space for parents to actually breathe and chat. It’s been really special for both of us.

Thank you so much for having us we really enjoyed it and felt so welcomed. I was worried I would feel out of place but everyone was so nice and welcoming we look forward to next week

Jaya Rose Fox, I'm so glad you persisted when things were hard! Every week, I'm amazed by your constant flow of good ideas, your sense of calm and how you get so much done as a busy mum and partner. <3

For kids who need that bit of movement and hands-on play, Josh is amazing.

Can’t recommend this program enough! My homeschooled son did this program and I honestly attribute his ability to social skills learned once sessions finished. There were some periods in school with a bit of home avoidance due to normal stuff. A lot of confidence and connection to find learning with a lot of new friends, and started to find learning fun again. Worth every penny and more ❤️

Walking into a new group can feel really overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure what to expect. This space feels so different. Jaya has a way of making people feel at ease straight away, and the whole environment feels relaxed and supportive.
