My relationship with energy has always been intertwined with nature, especially the mountains.

 

They were my first teachers, long before metaphysics and modalities entered my life. Their silence, their scale, their unforgiving honesty: all of it shaped the backbone of my work.

​

In 2017, this calling led me to create Women Who Hike Africa, a movement born from the knowing that the outdoors is not simply a place to visit, but a portal. A return to belonging, empowerment, and deep inner remembrance. What began as weekend hikes evolved into profound journeys across sacred landscapes.

 

With over 100+ expeditions, including multiple ascents of Mt. Kenya and Mt. Kilimanjaro, the mountains taught me what no classroom ever could: how to find clarity in uncertainty, how to lead with grounded presence, how to surrender to forces larger than oneself, and how to rise again and again with reverence.

​

These teachings naturally wove themselves into my transformational work. Retreats became Activations. Expeditions became initiations. Leadership sessions carried the imprint of every summit and every valley I had ever walked.

​

The mountain path also expanded my work globally into advocacy, research, and collective empowerment. Today, I contribute to the United Nations FAO Mountain Partnership, co-founded the Mountain Women of the World Network spanning eight countries, and collaborate on academic research exploring gendered power and transformative resilience.

 

I’ve shared this work at international platforms such as the South African Mountain Conference.

​

Through it all, nature remains my first medicine, my compass, my grounding force, and the quiet wisdom beneath every transformational experience I lead.
