Levi Simmons

Levi Simmons is a renowned coach, motivational speaker, and mentor for individuals overcoming personal challenges. Drawing from his own experiences as an athlete who faced significant obstacles, Levi inspires communities to foster resilience and support those on their path to recovery.

Growing up in the bustling city of Sydney, Australia, Levi encountered numerous hurdles during his teenage years. The pressures of competitive sports and academic expectations took a toll on his mental health. To cope with the stress, Levi developed a habit of immersing himself in nature hikes, which became his sanctuary—a place where he could reflect and find peace away from the noise of daily life. Through this practice, Levi learned to connect with his inner self, allowing him to manage stress more effectively and maintain his focus on achieving both personal and professional goals.

The Path Within: A Journey to Inner Peace (now available) narrates Levi’s story from the moment he discovered the healing power of nature until his inspiring journey to help others find their own paths to tranquility and balance. His book highlights the importance of mindfulness and the outdoors in nurturing one's mental health.

Today, Levi organizes workshops for educators, sports coaches, therapists, and youth leaders in Sydney and beyond, focusing on the benefits of integrating natural environments into therapeutic practices and everyday life. As a consultant, he has collaborated with various organizations that promote outdoor activities and mental wellness among young people.

A sought-after speaker at national conferences, Levi has been featured in documentaries like "Nature's Embrace," which explores the role of nature in mental health recovery, and "Finding Balance," a film based on his personal journey and live talks. Levi was honored with the Environmental Advocate Award by the Australian Conservation Foundation and recognized as a Champion of Mental Health by Mind Australia for his efforts in promoting mental well-being through nature.

In recognition of his impactful work, Men's Health Magazine highlighted Levi in its April 2024 issue for his advocacy in merging outdoor adventure with mental health awareness.
