Run ~ Hike ~ Reset

"For women who put everyone else first and want more for themselves."

"SheRunz" coaching supports busy women to start or return to running and hiking, build fitness and confidence, and work towards personal goals, challenges, or events."

"SheRetreatz" creates shared outdoor experiences to step away from busy lives, connect with others, and explore nature, culture, and adventure."

Run ~ Hike ~ Reset

One idea, a shared love of running, hiking, time in nature, and a simple belief:

What if women who spend their lives showing up for everyone else had space to show up for themselves?

SheRunz SheRetreatz was created from that idea.

After more than 20 years of coaching, competing, and representing New Zealand across multiple sports, I found myself navigating a very different challenge, balancing life as a wife, mum, business owner, and everything else that comes with modern life.  Along the way I experienced significant setbacks, including a ruptured Achilles and a kidney tumour.

Those experiences reinforced something I had always believed.  Movement isn’t just about fitness. It’s about confidence, resilience, wellbeing, connection, and creating space for yourself.

SheRunz provides personalised run and hike coaching for women at every stage of their journey.

Whether you are:

  • starting for the first time
  • returning after time away
  • building fitness
  • improving performance
  • training for an event
  • preparing for an adventure
  • chasing a personal best
  • or pursuing competitive goals

the focus is the same. Creating a plan that fits your life, not the other way around.

This is coaching built from real-world experience, qualifications, understanding the demands of busy lives, and supporting women to move with confidence, consistency, and purpose.

SheRetreatz began much more simply.  Friends wanting time away.  No pressure. No race. No event.  Just space to step away from everyday life and reconnect through movement, nature, adventure, and shared experiences.

Today, our retreats in New Zealand and overseas bring together community, connection, culture, and exploration, creating space for women to breathe, reset, and remember who they are beyond the demands of everyday life.

The newest part of the journey is our private community.

A place where women can connect, access simple run, hike, and strength sessions, ask questions, share experiences, and support one another.  A place where movement becomes sustainable, enjoyable, and part of real life, no matter how busy life gets.

Some women use it as a starting point.
Some use it to rebuild consistency.
Some use it alongside bigger goals and coaching.

It’s designed to meet you where you are.  Because it’s not just about running or hiking.  It’s about Time. Space. Connection.  And remembering who you are outside of everything you do for everyone else.

 

Getting away to a high country station for the weekend, with amazing women, old and new friends, all with the love of the outdoors and amazing food. 

SheRetreatz caters for everyone. You are met where you are and encouraged all the way. I ventured into the unknown, tried new activities, hiked further than ever before, conquered some fears, and have come away feeling unstoppable.  Thank you.

Kerryn's coaching has helped me complete events I never thought possible.  I have felt supported and heard, understood with everything life throws at you and never felt silly for asking all the questions.  I am now planning events I never dreamed of.   

If you want a coach who understands what it's like to put everyone else first and then try and juggle some sort of training for yourself, have a chat with Kerryn. Her creative ways, her guidance and encouragement have made achieving the impossible possible. 

There was something for everyone.  Evenings were filled with chat, laughter and good food.  Days filled with hiking, sunrises, sunsets and new trails.    

A well planned, safe and inclusive environment, to get away from the day to day and breath in the fresh mountain air. 

If you're considering joining a retreat, go for it.  You wont regret it.  

A weekend in the mountains with amazing women.  We came for the adventure and left with friendships I will treasure. 

Feeling a little braver after all the amazing support, guidance and encouragement from everyone.  Definitely recommend SheRetreatz. 

A group of women coming together for exercise, adventure, shared food, drinks, laughs and support.  The absolute best escape, retreat, refresh, me time.  

Knowledgeable, passionate, caring - that's Kerryn. Nothing is too hard or too much. From the first chat, you will be welcomed and included.  Signed up to SheRunz coaching for myself, but I have gained a community of friends and a lifetime of adventures ahead. 

Having a coach who "gets it".  From major illness, injuries, family, work and age.  Kerryn works training into your life, in a way that makes it not only achievable but also enjoyable.
