Questions: So much of. how I have been living my life suddenly feels like it stopped working. It was a season of change, a chance to grieve accept and let go and start seeking something new.
1. Do you feel disconnected from yourself, nature, others and the world?
2. In 10 or 20 years do you have any physical goals or desires , and are they achievable or realistic?
3.Struggling to find time to take action, start or find yourself procrastinating?
4. Any fears for your future you and your health?
5. Do you dislike yourself, your body, your decisions?
These are all thoughts I had personally myself, things I struggle with everyday , you are not alone.
Nature and outdoor activities have so many proven benefits in helping us understand ourselves, heal us physically, mentally & spiritually we would love to help you on this transformational experience so you can live courageously.
Our Story
Traditional medicine does a wonderful job at emergency medicine and extending lifespan however in our observation of clients there is a HUGE gap in lifestyle disease treatment and utilising the power and ability of your own body as part of nature to find health,happiness and not just LIFESPAN but also HEALTHSPAN. From our experiences as healthcare providers and avid outdoor adventurers we wish to combine both as a unique offering exploring the basics of Movement, Nutrition, Breathwork & Mindfulness,Connection to oneself, others & nature & exploring PURPOSE,Happiness,Anxiety & Sleep. We feel these are the core pillars of achieving "Eudaimonia"a state of good spirit or well-being and in our opinion people need to be given & shown the tools to achieve this. In this modern fast paced world everyone is INFORMATION RICH but EXPERIENCE POOR , we want to help create Boldness, Take action and BE THE CHANGE that allows one to live their best life. This is why Farmacy Outdoors was created, we hope to use physical activities of Mountain Biking, Hiking,Paddling in nature to explore what is possible and build confidence in making the change. Coaching allows an objective view of your current situation, and your possibilities and allows you to gain the confidence needed to make change in a busy world. Using small group trips, or personal sessions we aim to improve your LIFE & Happiness after all isn't that we all want.

About
My name is Dave Hunt
Studied pharmacy in South Africa , graduated 1991, worked in London and emigrated to Australia in 1998, working in hospital and retail pharmacy in cities and the country in NSW & QLD eventually owning a local pharmacy until 2021. In my 30's I started mountain bike racing, triathlon, moving on to orienteering, adventure racing and trail running. I have a passion for nature and connection and permaculture design was a perfect fit and I completed my Permaculture Design Course in 2018 with Geoff Lawton. When I sold the business in my 50's I decided to train as a qualified Outdoor Leader so I could guide people with similar interests in the pursuit of health span / longevity using my skills in healthcare and nature based adventure to achieve a state of eudemonic [flourishing/wellbeing] and here we are Farmacy Outdoors was born!
About
My name is Natasha Brady
I grew up in the Great Lakes area and spent my childhood exploring our beautiful environment swimming at the beaches, bike riding, running the bush trails and never-ending fun outdoors on our family property. My love of health and fitness led me to study a degree in Sports Science at UNSW Sydney. I spent years in injury rehabilitation prevention programs and hydrotherapy in Newcastle and returned to Forster working with local cardiac and diabetic patients in our area. Knowing that wellness encompassed more than physical health, I expanded my studies into herbal medicine with Dorothy Hall and then completed my studies in Naturopathy focussing on natural health, nutrition,supplementation and Swedish massage. During this time I raised my daughter Charlotte & moved with Dave to our permaculture property "Forest Oak Farm" at Rainbow Flat with the aim of growing our own food and medicinal herbs.
Now moving into my wise woman years,I feel that calling to have a deeper connection with my true self, my family, the local community & environment. Time spent in nature and meditation have been invaluable in giving me the space to find the clarity and connection to what is really important in my life. I hope to share some of my journey with you, where we can grow , connect and learn from one another.
