Hiker/Writer/Educator

Belinda Coker is an Australian hiker, writer, and educator who helps women in midlife reclaim freedom and confidence through practical, real-world adventure.

After years of building businesses and raising three children, she began hiking to find space and perspective, completing multi-day solo hikes from Australia's rugged Red Centre to a solo crossing of Greenland in the Arctic Circle.

Along the way she founded Soul Treader, a space that helps women push their limits safely and rebuild confidence through real adventure. Drawing on that same philosophy, she later created the House Sitting Collective to teach responsible, flexible travel that's safe, organised, and built on trust.

She has also worked with local communities in Malawi and Zambia on self-funded clean-water projects, bringing safe water closer to villages where women once walked hours each day.

Belinda is also a lipedema warrior, encouraging women to move forward in whatever body they're in.
