Healthy Hiking with Deb

Welcome to Healthy Hiking with Deb! I’m Deborah Peddle-Hann, an award-winning fitness and wellness expert, backpacking adventurer, and hiking advocate from Nova Scotia, Canada.  

Join "Empowered Backpacker", our 12 Week Intro to Backpacking Course, where I'll help you go from Unsure to Trail Ready!

I started backpacking in my mid-40s, feeling both excited and nervous. To prepare, I consumed hundreds of hours of YouTube videos, learning everything I could to hit the trail with confidence. Now, I’m here to create a safe and honest space for midlife women and adventurers to get all the tools and knowledge they need to hike and backpack safely.  

On this channel, I’ll share personal hike experiences, gear reviews, healthy hiking tips, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Whether it’s climbing Katahdin, trekking the East Coast Trail, or exploring hidden gems in Nova Scotia, I’m here to help you embrace the outdoors.

Let’s explore, learn, and grow stronger together!
