Confident Backpacking for Women

A step-by-step coaching and support system for women who want to backpack safely, confidently and on their own terms, solo or with others.

Have You Been Wanting To Go Backpacking, But:

You’re not behind. You’re not incapable. You just haven’t had the right support.

Backpacking didn’t change my life because I was fearless. It changed my life because I learned how to build confidence, skills and trust in myself. That’s exactly what I help other women do inside this program.

This Is More Than a Course

The Confident Solo Female Backpacker System is a complete coaching and support system designed to help women build real‑world backpacking skills, confidence and self‑trust.

Whether you want to backpack solo, with friends or you’re still figuring that out, this program meets you where you are.

You don’t need prior backpacking experience.

You don’t need to have a trip planned.

You don’t need to feel “ready.”

You just need the desire to stop feeling stuck and start feeling capable.

This Program Is for You If:

This program is not for experienced thru‑hikers who already feel fully confident and don’t want guidance or support.

Don’t Just Take My Word For It

"The Confident Solo Female Backpacker System far exceeded my expectations. Kathleen is an incredibly knowledgeable, fun and detailed instructor. The content went into incredible depth so even though I went into the program feeling like I knew a thing or two about backpacking, I learned so much more than I thought I could. I am working towards big hiking goals and I know without a doubt that I am far better prepared than I could ever have been without the program."

"The Confident Solo Female Backpacker System is the best investment in myself I've made in a long time! I've day hiked for years and been on a few backpacking trips, but never alone. Kathleen's program has made me feel so confident, inspired and empowered to get out and hike on my own! There's so much valuable information, firsthand experience from her own backpacking, tips & tricks and homework items to put it all into action. The Confident Solo Female Backpacker System gives you the tools to make your goals happen in a way that feels super achievable. Beginner hikers & experienced hikers will find value here. I loved it, 10/10 would recommend!"

"The Confident Solo Female Backpacker System was amazing. Not only did I get to build community, but I am also way more confident out on the trail and ready to do my first solo backpacking trip. I feel very prepared on all aspects! Kathleen is extremely knowledgeable, really cares about your and your goals, and provides such a well-rounded program! Excited to have my first backpacking trip in only a few weeks!"
