Hey, I’m Rochelle

Welcome to Rochelle Rewild

Hi, I’m Rochelle – the person behind Rochelle Rewild. I’m a mum, a nature-lover, and someone trying to live more responsibly on the land around me. I don’t fully fit into modern life, and I believe the past offers lessons we can all learn from.

Rewilding is my way of bringing some of that balance back into my life. Living here in South Africa, with all its beauty and nature, I’ve realised that caring for the environment starts at home.

About

Why “Rewild”?

For me, rewilding isn’t about doing everything perfectly or escaping modern life completely. It’s about slowing down, noticing the world around me, and making choices that matter – for the earth, my family, and myself.

It means:

  • Learning to grow or source food thoughtfully
  • Choosing natural materials when possible
  • Learning old skills that reduce waste
  • Raising kids who understand ecosystems, not just screens
  • Building a home that reflects care for the planet

Rewilding is a work in progress – it’s about learning, trying, and doing better over time.

What You’ll Find Here

On this site I share:

  • How I’m building a more conservation-focused home
  • Ways I connect with nature every day
  • Simple, mindful crafts and skills
  • Faith and reflection rooted in creation
  • Thoughts on slowing down and living intentionally

I’m not perfect, and I don’t have all the answers. But my hope is that by sharing my journey, others who feel the pull towards slow living, nature connection, and sustainable living can be inspired.

I recently shared more about how this journey began in my post, Why I’m Choosing to Rewild My Life.

What I Believe

  • Conservation is not a trend – it’s a duty.
  • Simplicity creates space for clarity.
  • Children learn stewardship by watching it practiced.
  • Faith deepens when connected to creation.
  • Small, consistent changes matter more than dramatic ones.

Who Is This For

This space is for anyone who:

  • Wants to live more intentionally and thoughtfully
  • Cares about the environment and conservation
  • Feels drawn to slower rhythms and nature
  • Wants practical inspiration, not just theory

If that’s you, welcome. I’m glad you’re here, and I hope you’ll find inspiration to start your own journey towards a rewilded, intentional life.

Let’s REWILD together!
