Belinda Coker is an Australian hiker, writer, and educator who helps men and women in midlife, reclaim freedom through practical, real-world adventure.

After years of building businesses and raising three children, she turned to hiking to find space and perspective, completing multi-day solo treks from Australia’s rugged Red Centre to a solo crossing of Greenland in the Arctic Circle.

Along the way, she founded Soul Treader, a platform supporting men and women to safely push their limits through adventure. Building on that philosophy, she later created The House Sitting Collective, teaching responsible, flexible travel that is safe, organised, and built on trust.

Belinda has also worked with local communities in Malawi and Zambia on self-funded clean-water projects, bringing safe water closer to villages where women once walked hours each day.

A lipedema advocate, she encourages everyone to keep moving and exploring, no matter their body shape or size.
