Di Westaway OAM

Founder and CEO of Wild Women on Top, a social purpose enterprise designed to inspire and empower women to break through their limits and achieve what they once thought impossible. Through her company, Di created Coastrek, a series of iconic fundraising hikes that blend adventure, fitness, and personal transformation, allowing women to experience the joy of hiking while pushing their boundaries in some of the most stunning landscapes.

Twenty-five years ago, Di was fatigued, unfit, and at a personal crossroads. Then, an invitation to climb Mt. Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Southern Hemisphere, changed her life. Although the climb didn’t reach the summit, it sparked a lifelong passion for fitness and adventure. Di realized that true fitness isn’t just about appearance—it’s about the experiences it opens up, from summiting mountains and swimming in glacial lakes to jumping off waterfalls. This revelation ignited her mission to help other women discover the same joy and freedom through fitness.

A former athlete with a relentless drive to inspire, Di has led expeditions around the world and trained countless women to unlock their potential, both physically and mentally. Her mission is simple: to help women soar beyond their wildest dreams.

A passionate advocate for women’s health, fitness, and adventure, Di’s dynamic and inspiring approach will motivate you to embrace new challenges and pursue your own wild adventures.

In 2020, Di was awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for her service to women’s sport and recreation, as well as to charitable initiatives.
