Deanna Adams has experienced mental health issues for some time. But when her mum was diagnosed with leukemia late last year, her depression turned particularly nasty. A friend picked up on her decline and insisted she get out of the house. The pair decided to go for a walk and picked out the iconic Spit to Manly trail. Deanna found walking and chatting to her friend on the trail helped take her mind off her troubles and the heartbreaking hospital visits. She remembers looking out at the ocean and feeling happy.
After joining Wild Women, Deanna found hiking with women gave her the tools she needed to kick her depression to the curb. For the first time in years, Deanna is excited about life and opening her eyes every day.
She is living proof that hiking is a woman's best medicine.
