Hi, I’m Ilaria, founder of Her Wild Adventures, a qualified Mountain Leader, and trauma-informed coach.

I believe the mountains have an incredible way of reminding us who we are.

Her Wild Adventures was created for women who crave that sense of peace, space and freedom that nature reconnect us with, those who want to explore breathtaking landscapes, challenge themselves, build confidence, and experience the kind of achievement that comes from standing on a mountain you’ve climbed with your own two feet.

Whether we’re hiking with me in Snowdonia, the Peak District, the Lake District, or embarking on unforgettable adventures in the Dolomites and beyond, my goal is always the same: to create welcoming, supportive experiences where every woman feels capable, encouraged, and inspired.

Many women join my hikes because they’re looking for adventure but don’t want to go alone. Others are complete beginners who simply want to discover what they’re capable of. Whatever brings you here, you’ll find a community of like-minded women, incredible scenery, plenty of laughter, and memories that stay with you long after the hike ends.

Alongside my mountain leadership qualifications, my background as a trauma-informed coach allows me to create a calm, supportive environment where women feel safe to challenge themselves, step outside their comfort zone, and grow in confidence naturally. There is never any pressure to be the fastest or strongest, just encouragement to enjoy the journey, trust yourself, and embrace the adventure.

I believe that some of life’s greatest transformations happen on a mountain path, in nature, around shared snacks after a long day’s hike, watching the sunrise over a ridge, celebrating reaching a summit together, and realising you’re capable of far more than you ever believed.

I can’t wait to share these adventures with you.
