Body Positive Hikes

Richelle is on a mission to create opportunities for plus-size women to come together in a safe, judgment free environment. She wants to show all of us that we are capable of so much more than we imagine, and that physical pursuits aren’t just for the thin. It’s a world changing concept.

Richelle's passion for encouraging curvy women to get active is infectious. With her huge smile, her solid outdoor skills and engaging personality, Richelle is a natural leader and influencer. I can't wait to attend the upcoming Hike in April and try my hand at stand-up paddleboarding at the weekend in May.

What an amazing, supportive group of women to hang out with! First trip away the group. I felt nothing but welcomed and supported through some physical, emotional and mental challenges. So many laughs along the way! And the food!!! Looking forward to many more outings with you!

Have only done the one walk but have booked for a couple more. Loved the ladies and really love the great outdoors. Don't think you are too old, too young, too unfit, too overweight - these are all negatives and this is a really wonderful positive group of people.  I highly recommend them!

A wonderful time spent with wonderful ladies night hiking at the You Yangs with a bbq dinner.  So much fun & laughter. The best time. An amazing experience. The most incredible hike I have had. Love the way we can experience this together & just be our selves. An extremely positive time!.
