about

I’m Nele. A professional female ski and SUP instructor, yoga teacher, business owner and butler to my 3-year-old son.

I know for a fact: Me-time and adventure don’t end with motherhood — if we reframe the setting and finally do it on our terms.

Here’s why that’s important: If we want girls to stay in sports, we need mums to stay in sports. Because YES… it’s okay to want more than just mum-life.

Look, I know what it’s like to crave solo time, to rebuild your identity in the midst of motherhood chaos and to get snappy when you don’t spend time outdoors.

But here’s the kicker: the outdoor industry is built for dudes in their 20s — not for women in their 30s with a toddler on their lap (and dare I say it: ambitions).

I’d love to see more women in the outdoors. As athletes, mums, instructors, guides, coaches, companions, role models, sisters… so we can go and raise our kids wild.

My projects, teaching and digital guides are designed to help women—especially mums—reclaim space, confidence, and excitement in the outdoors and in their lives. Unapologetically.
