Maz Wylie

Business: Life Is For Living

I am based in both Scotland and The UAE and and have personal and second hand experience of adventure and nature changing and saving lives. I have travelled extensively and my social circles are generally focused around adventure activities and outdoor sport. I love open water swimming, kayaking, SUP, deep water soloing, free diving, trail running, climbing and hillwalking, to name but a few. My biggest passion is using adventure as a tool for personal development and witnessing the power that it has for positive change.

What is your interest or experience of adventure for mental health or wellbeing?

I have spent my career working in sport and adventure therapy and have worked with diverse groups including, Young Offenders, Kids affected by Extreme Trauma and/ or serious illness, Corporates, Prison Inmates, Government Bodies, Kids and Adults affected by Learning Disabilities and more. I have no doubt that Adventure Therapy is THE most powerful tool I have ever used and am passionate about increasing knowledge and awareness in this field. Through my work with "Life Is For Living," I promote the importance of Holistic Health in the corporate world and run a range of services to combat the damage that is being caused by humanity's move away from nature and adventure.

How can you help us spread the word about AdventureMind’s mission?

I am very active on linkedIn and have global connections and extensive networks. I am also in the process of writing a book in this field.
