About Me

I believe life is an incredible Adventure

Hi, I’m Ilaria, a qualified mountain guide,  Trauma informed Coach and founder of Healing Through Hiking. I guide women to reconnect with themselves, rediscover joy, and step into courage through the incredible power of nature.

Healing doesn’t have to be scary, boring, or lonely. As well as the hard moments or days when we process our inner world, healing must be full of adventure, laughter, moments that make your heart feel alive again and connections that give you a new experience of safety and love.

That’s why I create guided hikes and group trips, in the UK and abroad, including multi-day adventures in the Dolomites and beyond. These experiences are designed for who want more than just a walk in the mountains. They’re for those craving freedom, challenge, beauty, and a chance to step out of old patterns and into something new — supported, held, and never alone.

My approach to hiking supports women who want to reconnect with their confidence, their bodies, and their sense of adventure. Hiking with me isn’t just time outdoors; it’s an experience of presence, courage, and meaningful connection with nature, with others, and most importantly, with yourself.
