5 ABOUT US Wild Women On Top was founded in 2002 by Di Westaway, after she suffered a mid-wife crisis. She found a solution to her sadness in a mountain quest which inspired her to transform her life. Four years later, Di coached a group of 15 women to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro, 5,982m. She learned that extreme wilderness challenges not only bring natural exhilaration but require more physical fitness, mental and emotional tuffness, team work and toasty warm socks than she d ever imagined. She was inspired to help women prepare for adventure challenges. To teach them the lessons she learned the hard way in order for them to achieve extraordinary goals and lead adventurous lives. Our teams have trekked iconic locations around the world including Everest Base Camp, Mt Kilimanjaro, Machu Picchu, Bhutan, Patagonia, GR 20 Corsica, Mt Fansipan, Mt Kinabalu, Mt Elbrus, and the highest mountain in the Southern Hemisphere, Mt Aconcagua. In 2009, Di founded the Wild Women On Top Coastrek Team Trekking Challenge. This event has inspired tens of thousands of Australians to get fit trekking and has raised over $20 million for charity. Wild Women On Top love the feeling of natural exhilaration that comes from shared hiking adventures. We prioritise self-care using the Adventure Mindset and Daily Rituals of Joy to rejuvenate themselves so they can better nurture others. We help women set and achieve challenging adventure goals, maintain vitality, balance hormones and eat real, unprocessed food and gourmet treats in moderation. If you d like to journey to amazing remote places with like-minded women and live your dreams, we are the tribe for you.
