Our Story 

Diamonds in the Rough Adventures was established in 2018 by Michele and her former business partner, Jo. Having worked together in the adventure fitness industry for several years, coaching teams of women from around Australia to take on local hikes and overseas treks, they saw first-hand how important quality preparation is to the success and enjoyment of a hiking holiday.

Today, Michele leads Diamonds in the Rough Adventures alongside a dedicated team of experienced coaches and trek leaders, continuing to share her passion, expertise and experience to help everyday women become trek-ready. Together, they empower women to embrace new challenges, build confidence, and experience the thrill of achieving goals they never thought possible. Creating supportive, inclusive and unforgettable adventure experiences remains at the heart of everything Diamonds in the Rough Adventures does.
