Executive Coach & Founder

Emma is an Executive Coach, Leadership Facilitator, and Founder of Forest Revival. With a background in corporate leadership and executive coaching, she helps leaders, founders, and professionals navigate change, build confidence, and lead with authenticity.

Her approach is shaped by real-world leadership experience, professional coaching training, and a deep connection to nature. As an EMCC Senior Practitioner Coach, Henley Business School-trained Executive Coach, and ICF Member, Emma brings evidence-based coaching methods together with embodiment work, trauma-informed leadership practices, and strengths-based coaching to create truly transformational experiences.

After stepping away from a high-pressure corporate career, Emma realised the power of taking space to reflect, recalibrate, and lead with intention—a philosophy that led her to create Forest Revival. Set in the heart of the Ashdown Forest, this purpose-built retreat space offers leaders the chance to step away from daily pressures, reconnect with themselves, and move forward with clarity.

Emma works with CEOs, founders, senior leaders, and board members, supporting them through career transitions, leadership challenges, and personal transformation. Whether through one-to-one coaching, immersive retreats, or leadership workshops, her work is about helping people break free from limiting patterns and lead with impact.

"Stepping away isn’t stepping back—it’s creating space for the clarity, courage, and energy needed to move forward with purpose. That’s what Forest Revival is all about."

Ecologist & Wildlife Guide

Born on the edge of the Ashdown Forest, Tom spent his childhood exploring its woodlands, ghyll streams, bogs, and heaths, searching for deer, snakes, and birds of prey. The freedom to roam this special landscape sparked a lifelong passion for wildlife conservation and led him to a career as an ecologist and environmental educator.

With a degree in Environmental Management and 20 years of experience, Tom has worked in diverse ecological roles, including at Gurukula Botanical Sanctuary in southern India, the Field Studies Council, Sussex Wildlife Trust, and Commonwork Trust. A true all-round naturalist, he brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to every visitor experience.

Now living on the Ashdown Forest, Tom works as an independent ecologist and wildlife guide, leading experiences across Sussex, Surrey, and Kent, including at the Knepp Estate (renowned for its rewilding project), Royal Botanic Gardens Kew at Wakehurst, and Bore Place Organic Farm. He also co-produces the Ashdown Forest Podcast with audio producer Eka Morgan, celebrating the richness of this remarkable 10-square-mile landscape.

"The Ashdown Forest hosts some fantastic wildlife, from rare plants and insects to secretive reptiles and elusive birds, all set against sweeping views over the High Weald and beyond. There’s nothing I enjoy more than helping visitors tune into the landscape—opening their eyes and ears to its beauty, leaving them with a deeper appreciation and a truly memorable experience."
