Meet Lisa

Hi, I’m Lisa I am the owner / operator of Recalibrate Outdoors. I am a qualified and passionate outdoor educator with over a decade of experience operating in the outdoors professionally. I am a working mum to a feral 3-year-old and plodding through life trying to stay sane like many of us! From a young age I have always enjoyed the outdoors leading to a long-term stint in the Army Cadet Force as a cadet and latterly an instructor. I then decided the outdoors was for me and whilst I worked on becoming competent in outdoor adventure and leadership, I worked as a support practitioner for people with physical and learning disabilities, a role I very much enjoyed before plunging into the outdoors and working in the sector full-time! I have always battled with my own mental health, and the outdoors is where I find clarity, so after some thought, I established Recalibrate Outdoors, with an aim to helping people find balance in this current fast-paced, technology focused world we’re living in. I now spend my time with a mission to connect people with themselves, their communities and the environment, through the use of outdoor activities and education. The businessy bit – I am a member of the PVG scheme, checked regularly by Disclosure Scotland, I am a mental health first aider, outdoor first aider and hold professional qualifications in Climbing, Cycling, Walking, Paddlesport, Bushcraft and other outdoor activities. So, if you would like to reconnect with yourself, maybe just hit pause on ‘real-life’, get in touch and pop down for a brew over the fire.
