Our World

LifeTrail is a Perth, WA-based service offering professional individual mentoring and hiking services. It is a re-creation of Didier’s two ventures, Didier Walks and Life Paths NDIS.  

Seven years of independence, resilience and self-confidence in association with Duke Of Ed, the NDIS, Bibbulmun Track Foundation and DBCA Parks And Wildlife.

What does "Best Version Of Ourselves" mean?

“The hardest challenge is to be yourself in a world where everyone is trying to make you be somebody else.” ― E.E. Cummings

Only with genuine authenticity do you become empowered to create and attract extraordinary experiences.

We should live a life with real passion, courage, conviction, awareness, connection, authenticity, a strong sense of self, and respect for all beings. We should celebrate the inclusion and diversity of everyone around us, amplify our strengths, and manage barriers to our goals. 

Through inspiration, education, planning, and reflection., we are taking steps towards a more intentional, authentic, and empowered life together.

"It's ok to live a life that no one else understands."  

Services

Mentoring

The Mentor lives and shares the life journey they love

Life Transition ︱ Employment ︱ Youth ︱ Mental Health ︱ Autism

Mentoring is exclusively part of our disability, mental health, NDIS services.

Life is beautiful but uncertain, with ups and downs. Living more independently, starting a new job, and taking on more responsibility can be scary for anyone. 

Stepping out of our comfort zone can be achieved one step at a time, building on what’s already good in our lives and our strengths.

Reflections

“I think hiking has helped me realise that I can overcome obstacles even if at the time they feel impossible.” – Lisa . 15 . Duke Of Edinburgh Award, anxiety

“Both my son and daughter did a hike with Didier for their Duke of Ed. They loved it. Didier also helped them with the preparation of gear and hike requirements. Would highly recommend.” – Albina (mum)

“I wish all Support Workers had a relationship with their Participants like Didier does.” – NDIS LAC.

“Hiking with Didier in nature takes me away from the city’s noise and, in my head, into peace, focus, flowers and fresh air. It makes me stronger.” – JR . 30 . autism, anxiety.

Meet Didier

Didier Monot

Mentor / Hiker

Didier was born in Vevey, a lakeside village in the French region of Switzerland. When he was six, his family immigrated to Australia, and he grew up in Rockingham.  

The Mentor lives and shares the life journey they love by example. Further empowering their strengths and managing barriers to their goals. 

Whether you are with me for mentoring or you are participating in one of our hikes, you may notice that I use an OT approach to support you. I’m there to create a safe space for you to step outside your comfort zone; only then can you grow. 

You are always in control of your path. Throughout my career and personal life, my goal has been to empower others, including myself. During my lifetime, my employers, industry partners, peers, and clients have described me as passionate, dedicated, caring, determined, and able to connect with anyone at their level.
