Wander into Wellness - Holistic Walks That Feel Like Therapy with a View

Mindful strolling, a splash of fresh air, and some surprisingly insightful wellness chat, all led by someone who actually knows what she’s talking about. Sound good? Here's everything you need to know about holistic guided walks.

What Exactly Is a Holistic Guided Walk?

Led by Ilona Madden, Certified Nutritional Therapist, Health & Lifestyle Coach, and Approved Tourist Guide of Ireland, each walk is a thoughtfully crafted experience that mixes gentle movement with practical wellness wisdom.

Here’s what’s on the path:

• Scenic walks in and around Dublin or Wicklow

• Mindful movement and breathing tips to help you slow down and reconnect

• On-the-go wellness coaching, from food to sleep to stress, Ilona drops real-life advice as you walk

• Local foodie stops, coffee, snacks, and artisan producers to round things off nicely

Who’s It For?

Honestly? Anyone with a body and a brain. Especially if you:

• Want to dip your toes into wellness without diving into the deep end

• Prefer your “self-care” with a side of scones

• Are looking for a relaxed way to get moving, connect with others, and learn something useful

• Simply love a good walk with good company

No Lycra or fitness levels required. Just comfy shoes and an open mind.

Where & When?

The walks are scheduled regularly in beautiful spots around Wicklow and Dublin, including parks, forests, and gentle countryside trails. Each session lasts about 90 to 120 minutes, depending on the route and weather.

If the idea of wellness feels intimidating, this is the gentle intro you’ve been waiting for. You come for the walk, but leave with a calmer mind, a happier body, and probably a few new friends.
