About Hilde

Hilde Hay is the heart behind our transformative retreats, guiding personal growth experiences since 2016.

After shifting from corporate leadership to self-awareness and emotional well-being, she now leads nature retreats for women and couples—spaces for self-discovery, healing, and connection.

Hilde often weaves the Enneagram personality system into her retreats, helping individuals and couples understand themselves and their relationships more deeply. Her approach is both intuitive and grounded in research. She holds Honours degrees in Psychology and Industrial Psychology, a Masters in Research Psychology, and is registered with the Health Professions Council of SA. She is also an accredited Integrative9 Enneagram practitioner and is currently training with the International Enneagram Association.

More than credentials, it’s Hilde’s warmth and ability to create a safe, open space that make her retreats special. She blends structure with flexibility, allowing for deep transformation in a relaxed, natural setting.

Working with Hilde are many wonderful people without whom no retreat will be possible, who support her with love and encouragement, accommodation, meals, excursions, chauffeuring, session facilitation, and a myriad of small things that help create the magic!

Alongside her retreat work, Hilde runs a private practice as a career guidance practitioner, Enneagram coach, and conscious leadership training facilitator. She is also a mother of four, a wife, and a daughter..
