Quick Contact
As the founder of Wild Women on Top and the powerhouse behind Coastrek, Di leads a national movement that inspires women to unleash themselves, build unshakeable confidence, and take on challenges they once thought impossible. Using longevity and lifestyle medicine, world-class training, and extreme hiking adventures, Di shows people how to become their most joyful, resilient, powerful, and youthful selves—no filter, no fluff.
Her journey? A masterclass in courage.
After failing to summit the highest mountain in the Southern Hemisphere for her 40th birthday (ouch), Di didn’t quit—she cartwheeled. She ditched the corporate grind, launched a women’s fitness movement, and raised three kids solo while training teams to climb some of the world’s most iconic peaks. Casual. Along the way, she’s helped raise nearly $60 million for charity and inspired almost 100,000 Australians to join Coastrek events nationwide.
A former National Australian Gymnastics, Aerobics and Bouldering Champion, Di brings athletic grit, razor-sharp insight, and big-hearted chutzpah to every stage. She’s been a Telstra Business Awards Finalist, named a Westpac Top 100 Woman of Influence, and awarded an Order of Australia Medal for her service to women’s sport, recreation, and charity—because changing lives is kind of her thing.
Di is also the author of two books, hundreds of media articles, and several academic papers. With a Bachelor of Education (PE and Dance) and a Masters in Lifestyle Medicine, she is fiercely committed to closing the gender gap in women’s health. Her work blends lifestyle medicine, positive psychology and lived experience to help people reverse stress, boost wellbeing, and live younger, longer—and with a lot more sparkle.
Di Westaway doesn’t just speak. She ignites.
Book her when your audience needs a wake-up call, a confidence kick, and a roadmap to better health and happier living. She’ll motivate your teams to take charge of their physical and mental wellbeing—and show them that “impossible” is just a dare in disguise.
