How it works

Hattie offers personalised guiding and coaching for people who want to explore the outdoors with confidence, purpose, and enjoyment.

All guiding and coaching begins with a conversation to understand your experience, goals, and expectations. From there, sessions are designed to suit you — whether that’s a quiet confidence-building day or a more ambitious objective.

“The 1:1 sessions in the water were tailored to each participant, making the learning experience highly personalised. I felt extremely safe throughout, and it was perfect for calming nerves and building confidence”
