Introducing: Health & Field

“Health & Field is about empowering the citizen to take wellness into their own hands and bring it into their daily lives,” says Destiny, whose business concept is rooted in the land. Working as a certified natural health coach, natural living content creator and Soil Association ambassador, Destiny has first-hand experience of the benefits of spending time in nature and biodiverse, nature-rich farmland.

And she wanted to bring those benefits to people in the most sustainable way: wellbeing learning in a natural environment that can also change day-to-day life.

“I don’t want anyone to leave a Health & Field experience thinking that they can’t experience true wellness, simply at home,” Destiny explains, “wherever they live, whether they’re in the countryside or whether they’re in a flat in London.”

Health & Field is now part of GroundSchool at Irongate Farm, in Hertfordshire – founded by Jon and Joanna Cherry (co-founders of the Groundswell regenerative agriculture festival) – and is gearing up to offer sessions exploring herbal medicine, nutrition, gut health, mindfulness and hormone balance for children and adults.

Destiny is leading GroundSchool’s wellness programme alongside expert practitioners Sophia Antwi, a medical herbalist who runs The Junior Herbalist Club, and Lauren Reynolds, the London Wellness Coach. The Health & Field courses – in the pipeline now for launch in autumn 2026 – will run alongside food and agricultural courses at the new food and farming learning centre.

As these different strands of GroundSchool come together, Destiny has been working closely with its team to evolve the Health & Field offer into a schedule of regular or one-off courses on the farm.

“It’s just such a seamless collaboration,” she says. “It’s a really good community. The house has become quite a hub for everyone being able to do their thing.”

This network, which Destiny refers to as her “superpower”, extends from the Irongate farm house into the land. “We will work together with GroundSchool to develop a programme about nutrition that feeds really well into their farming,” says Destiny. This will be a key part of the connections she’s making between personal health and regenerative, organic and agroecological practices.

With the market garden, mob grazing, walnut orchard, composting project, pasture-reared poultry, Calf at Foot Dairy and Wild Mycology (led by Lotta from the London Mycology Project) all at Irongate, there’s plenty of classroom material to draw on.

But Health & Field will reach far beyond the fields at Irongate, too. Destiny is busy planning adult field trips – curated experiences on farms and nature reserves in carefully selected locations – promising to make “field trips fun again” by combining the joy of being in the great outdoors with incidental, immersive learning.

“I’m really happy to be working on it because it feels a lot more accessible and exciting,” she says. – “And you can be learning, without even knowing you’re learning!”
