Who We are
Meet Stephen
I’m Stephen, a dad of three, and someone who has spent the last twenty years building businesses, fixing what is broken, and learning, often the hard way. I have led companies, built and sold startups, lived internationally with a fancy job title, serve on the boards of multiple businesses. I am proud of the work I have done and the people I have built with.
But that kind of life, at least the way I lived it, came with a cost. A few years ago, I burned out. Slowly at first, then all at once. I was diagnosed with ADHD in my forties, which helped explain the constant restlessness and intensity that had driven so much of my work — but also the overwhelm, the emotional swings, and the struggle to slow down. I spent years powering through, but underneath, I was anxious, exhausted, and increasingly disconnected from the things that mattered most.
At home, I always showed up but wasn't always present. Parenting three young children while trying to hold everything else together often left me feeling like I was falling short. And in those moments, when nothing shiny or impressive seemed to help, I started turning to the woods.
WilderKind grew out of that turning. Out of early morning walks and late night fires, conversations and observations that reached beyond the surface, and the steadying rhythm of hunting, foraging and working with my hands. Out there, with no audience and nothing to prove, I found the beginnings of peace. Not escape, but perspective. Not a break from life, but a way back into it.
I am not here as a guru, a coach, or someone with all the answers. I am here as someone who has lived both sides of the story and who believes we all need spaces where we can be strong, still, useful, and seen.
WilderKind is that space, and I would love you to be part of it.

Who We are
Meet Jamie
I’m Jamie — a coach, a boxer, a husband, and someone who’s walked through darkness to find purpose on the other side.
I grew up in London in a household shaped by pain — an angry father, a quiet mother, and a school life filled with bullying and misunderstanding. I struggled with learning difficulties and was eventually diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and dyslexia. As a boy, I felt like the world wasn’t made for someone like me.
Then, at 12, I found boxing. It gave me discipline, confidence, and a sense of control over my own story. By 17 I was an England Champion, and by 23 I was ranked third in the country. Boxing gave me structure, and it saved me for a while.
But after I left the sport, I lost that structure. Addiction crept in, and for years I carried a pain I didn’t know how to name. In my early 40s, losing my sister to cancer triggered a full-blown mental health crisis; grief, anxiety, depression, and daily panic attacks became part of my life. At my lowest, suicidal thoughts were frequent.
That was my rock bottom and also, unexpectedly, the start of something new.
I made a decision: if I was going to survive, I needed to understand myself. I threw myself into learning everything I could about the mind, the body, trauma, healing, and resilience. What I found didn’t just help me heal, it gave me a mission.
Over the past decade, I’ve turned my experience into support for others. I’ve run a private mental health group, worked alongside boxing and mental health charities, and co-authored a book with my wife. I now guide people toward mental strength and emotional clarity in a way that’s grounded, personalised, and deeply compassionate.
I don’t offer quick fixes or polished answers. What I offer is presence, honesty, and the belief that no matter how dark things seem, there is always a way forward.
WilderKind gives me the chance to share that belief in a place that feels real. Where nature, physical work, and shared purpose become tools for healing. My suffering gave me service. If my story can help someone feel seen, stronger, or more hopeful, then it’s all been worth it.
