Hi, I’m Susan.
I am the co-creator of Embodied Leadership, alongside the horses.
Together we hold space and facilitate opportunities for people to (re)connect with a deeper sense of wholeness and connection in everyday living. Of course there are ample layers for exploring here but at the end of the day that’s what we do.
I love seeing how these (re)connections to wholeness and self create more consistent experiences of Joy, Freedom, Peace, Ease, and Connection, among other things for someone in their day to day.
And, if they are a horse person, in their relationship with their horse.
One of the keystones of Embodied Leadership is the nurturing and tending of relationship both within and outside of ourselves and (re)developing a greater sense of leadership both within ones self and in partnership with others.
It’s pretty amazing how tending to our self-relationship and leadership naturally impacts our relationships and co-leadership with others beings with less effort, more ease, and more dignity and sovereignty for all involved.
At the heart of these keystones lives the ongoing development of presence which deepens both our clarity and connection with ourselves and with one another.
So whether you call yourself an equestrian and are looking to deepen roots in your already existing horse-human relationship, or if you do not identify as a “horse person” but desire to (re)connect with yourself from a place of abundance, grace, and authenticity I very much look forward to meeting you.
The horses and I love facilitating space for life-long relationship building and adding to and refining our current tool-kits of presence, awareness, and self leadership.

Dusty and The Herd
Horses both inspire our work together and co-collaborate to hold the space. Horses give honest feedback in real-time.
In observing their innate behaviors and dynamics they support humans in unpacking and reimagining our direct experiences with the imbalances we face in our personal life and society such as boundaries, personal space, leadership, self care, relationships, responsibilities and more. They are masters of awareness and presence and lead their human partners in deepening these skills themselves.
Horses do not judge you or your experiences. They are not put off by who you are or what you’re going through. They only ask that you be honest about it. Acknowledge it. Honesty is congruency and in congruency we honor our equine parters and guides. We honor them too, by learning how to hold space for ourselves and in turn this holds space for others…horses and humans alike. They teach us to be better listeners and observes. A multifaceted gift in which all benefit.
These spaces require no equine experience. There is no riding or fancy horsework involved. In fact, you do not even need to have a “thing” for horses. The horses are free to be who they are, as they are, as are you. Just bring your curiosity and your desire to learn and grow. As guests in their space we are there to observe, listen and to receive what lessons they choose to offer.
