How two people from opposite sides of the world came together to build a life filled with adventures

James had huge challenges early on in his schooling life with severe dyslexia and was crippled by anxiety, panic attacks and depression from the age of 17-25.
These challenges lead James to want to discover how the human body, mind and soul worked and more importantly why and how he could reach his full potential.

Having experienced her own health challenges, Emilia understands how overwhelming it can feel when your body isn't working the way you want it to.

Our Story
It all began in January 2017 when we met in the beautiful French Alps. Emilia was visiting the stunning alpine town of Morzine, where James was living and working at the time. Emilia was working as an au pair for an English family who had a place in Morzine. Coincidentally, James happened to be living there.
It was not love at first sight. In fact, Emilia could barely understand James’s Aussie accent which made communication interesting - to say the least - in the beginning. But despite the slight language barrier, we had a lot of fun together!
We surely did like each other and there was definitely a spark between us but we were in very different phases of life. Emilia was 20 and about to start uni life in the UK, while James was 36 and living his best life exploring and adventuring in the French Alps. So, our romance was cut short and we decided to stay friends instead. Sometimes we did not hear from each other for months and then we’d randomly end up on Facetime for hours.
In 2019, we caught up in London and had a great time together. We secretly still had feelings for each other but continued to stay friends. A few more years passed by and the pandemic hit the world. Emilia moved back to Finland and James started to plan his move to New Zealand.
In 2022, James attended Emilia’s graduation ceremony in the UK. The spark was still there but the timing wasn’t right. James was about to travel to New Zealand for work, while Emilia had her whole life in Finland.
In 2023, James moved back to France, and despite living in different countries and having no idea what the future would hold, we decided to give our relationship another chance. Since then we have lived, travelled, worked and built our business, Morfit Adventures, together.
Looking back, we’re so grateful that life kept bringing us back to each other. What once seemed like bad timing became the beginning of the greatest adventure of our lives.
Morfit Adventures
This isn't just a business—it's a reflection of us and our values.
Our mission is to create health and wellbeing adventures for people who value looking after themselves inside and out, spending time in nature, exploring new places, connecting with like-minded people and, most importantly, having fun along the way.
Over the years, we've lived in ski resorts, tropical islands and bustling cities around the world. Those experiences have shaped our love for adventure, meaningful connections and discovering new ways to support our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Our own health challenges led us to discover how powerful personal development, movement, meditation, fasting and other wellbeing practices can be to care for both the body and the mind. What we learnt along the way continues to inspire everything we do today.
Our goal is to create experiences that bring people together, encourage personal growth and help you reconnect with yourself, others and the world around you.
While we're putting the finishing touches on our adventures, we'd love to invite you to explore our coaching programs and begin your journey with us.
