My talks and workshops help you prepare for the practical side of the journey as well as the personal side.
The Camino changes people long before they arrive in Santiago.
My talks and workshops help you prepare for much more than the practical side of the journey, but the personal side too.

Prepare well. Walk confidently. Enjoy the journey.
A practical one-day workshop to help you prepare for a Camino that is physically manageable, logistically smooth and deeply rewarding.
Whether you are planning your first Camino, refining plans already underway, or simply wondering if the Camino might be for you, this masterclass gives you clear guidance, honest insight and real-world preparation.
What many people think they need
A better backpack. Better boots. More fitness. More gear. Lighter packing. An adventurous attitude.

You’ve completed the Life in Transition Workshop or the Pilgrim’s Masterclass and feel the pull toward Spain.
You’re seeking a meaningful physical and spiritual challenge that blends inner and outer transformation.
You want expert guidance, supportive structure, and a small community of like-minded pilgrims on the road.
What’s it about:
This is the culmination of your preparation – a guided, supported walking journey along the legendary Camino de Santiago. You’ll choose your route and distance, with programs designed for:
Up to 300 km (around 14 days) from August to September 2026, or
The full 800 km French Camino (28 - 32 days), with on-ground support in the final 7–14 days.
Other Camino routes can also be supported, depending on dates and logistics.
Note: We do not guide on a day-to-day basis, as the Camino is your own and we have prepared you. Our experienced team provides planning assistance, (including a “pre-amble”, being a chance to explore parts of Spain before the Camino), hotel bookings and on-the-ground coordination throughout. Whether you walk every step solo or as part of a group, you’ll have the planning done, guidance, resources, and support just a call away.
What to expect:
You’ll walk through ancient villages, rolling farmlands, and spiritual landmarks while practising mindfulness, journaling, and daily reflection inspired by your earlier workshops.
Each evening includes optional small-group conversations or coaching check-ins to help translate your outer journey into inner insight.

You’ll leave with
A lived understanding of movement as meditation and transition as transformation
A renewed connection to self, nature, and community.
Physical vitality, emotional clarity, and a grounded sense of purpose.

Personal guidance for life’s turning points.

What’s it about:
Life doesn’t always unfold in straight lines. My 1:1 coaching offers a calm, confidential space to pause, reflect, and realign. Drawing on two decades of personal development, my experience as a life coach, author, and pilgrim of the Camino de Santiago, I help clients navigate change through a grounded and compassionate process.
