JOIN US ON THE WELLBEING JOURNEY.
We are Linda Rowley and Sarah Backhouse. We share with you our expertise in positive psychology and wellbeing science, along with our passion for walking in nature.
Linda Rowley
I’m a Gippsland local. Having worked in the health sector for 20 years, I became a wellbeing coach 10 years ago after experiencing a life-transforming event. Today, I just love what I do.
I also love learning. I have a genuine interest in learning everything related to individual, group and team wellbeing. Along with a hefty dose of life wisdom, my strength of curiosity drives my personal journey towards flourishing.
Through this combination of life and professional experience, I have developed a wide range of tools and techniques so I can tailor my approach to each person and context.
Wellbeing Pathways™ allows me to combine my passion for fostering wellbeing in others with my love of walking in nature.
Sarah Backhouse
I'm a Bellarine Peninsula local. As a wellbeing specialist and architect, I am interested in how our physical environments, both natural and built, can help us to thrive.
​
I love walking, be it a coastal walk, through nature or in towns or cities. The speed of walking allows us to slow down, discover and appreciate our environments. The diversity of the Australian landscape offers diverse opportunities to connect with a sense of place and ourselves. I have also lived and walked in France, Italy and Scotland and am excited by the future prospect of leading some European wellbeing walks - when possible again.
​
As The Wellbeing Architect™, I also offer specialist advice to build wellbeing knowledge and skills across the architecture profession, for the benefit of architects, their teams and the buildings they create.
