Barefoot & Brave is a love letter to childhood—wild, curious, soulful, and free.

I’m Amelia, a mother to three little wild ones and the heart behind Barefoot & Brave. This space was born from the tender, beautiful mess of motherhood and the many life experiences that have shaped me. Through it all, one truth has remained clear: childhood is sacred, and its magic deserves to be protected.

In a world that moves so fast, I wanted to create something slower and more intentional—a place where children are encouraged to feel deeply, explore freely, and grow bravely. Where imagination is celebrated, emotions are supported, and nature is part of the play.

Our kits, practise, and play experiences are handcrafted with care to honour the whole child—heart, soul, and spirit—while gently nurturing emotional awareness and confidence through mindful, nature-based play. Each piece is made using Eco-friendly, compostable materials wherever possible, because protecting our children means protecting the Earth too.

We celebrate the old-school magic of mud pies, shell collecting, barefoot wanders, and potion stirring with pine cones. This isn’t just play—it’s empowerment. When children are given the space and tools to imagine, feel, and connect, they grow into grounded, kind, and brave little beings.

Barefoot & Brave is more than a shop. It’s a philosophy:
That play is powerful.
That children are whole.
That slowing down is brave.
That magic matters.

Whether you’re a mindful parent, a curious child, an educator or therapist—we welcome you. Thank you for being here. Come join us in creating a new kind of magic, where wonder leads the way.

With love and muddy footprints,
Amelia x
