Workshop Provider

Mikaela Toczek

Mikaela is an International Mountain Leader, photographer and mother, living and working in Slovenia. Supporting others in the outdoors, sharing her love of slow journeys and encouraging curiosity and connection with nature are Mikaela’s passions, whether that is in the mountains, through a magazine feature, workshop, or as a guest speaker. Combining pregnancy and motherhood with a career outdoors has been one of Mikaela’s biggest challenges yet, and she is sure it is a process that will continue to surprise and stretch her for many years to come. Through open and inclusive discussion and positive action, Mikaela feels strongly that we can address some of these challenges and help to create pathways for other pregnant women and mothers to continue, adapt or begin their careers in the outdoors.
