About Me.

UNLEARN & EVOLVE

I believe growth isn't about perfection; it's about shedding what no longer serves and stepping in to who we're meant to be.

YOU ARE WORTHY

I believe we are all worthy of love and belonging. You deserve rest, joy, and to be boldy you. No proving, no doubting, just being.

TRUST INTUITION

I believe intuition is our wisest guide, the truth beneath all the noise. When we listen, we already know the way.

I'M EMILY - COACH, FACILITATOR, AND FOUNDER OF WILDHERD WORKSHOPS.

I believe intuition is our wisest guide, in gathering instead of retreating, and in shedding what no longer serves. My work empowers others to reconnect with their inner wisdom, move through uncertainty, and lead with presence and alignment.

As an entrepreneur and nonprofit executive, I've built both mission-driven organizations and corporate ventures, leading teams through growth, crisis, and transformation. My background in leadership, coaching, and experiential learning has shaped my approach to navigating change, both in organizations and in life.

I live on Gray Mountain Ranch with my spouse and three daughter. I spend my time riding horses, exploring nature, and gathering with friends and family. I believe in living with intention, staying connected to nature, and creating spaces where people can show up as they are.

PARTNERS & COLLABORATORS

Wildherd Workshops is made possible through the support of incredible partners and collaborators. We integrate the TeachingHorse methodology and E3A (Equine Experiential Education Association) principles to create transformative experiences. As a holistic life coach trained with Radiant Coaches Academy, I offer both virtual and in-person coaching—some with horses, some without—designed to help you reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and navigate change with clarity.

Our workshops are hosted at my home—40 beautiful acres on Gray Mountain Ranch, where the land itself invites renewal and connection. And, of course, I’m joined by an incredible herd of equine teachers: Auggie, Sundae, Popcorn, Buster, Westley, and Ares—each bringing their own unique energy and wisdom to the work.

Special thanks to Lauren Wright Photography for capturing the spirit of this work so beautifully.

MY APPROACH

I believe that growth, resilience, and leadership aren’t about pushing harder—they’re about alignment, adaptability, and presence. My coaching and facilitation combine horse-guided learning, holistic life coaching, and experiential leadership practices to help you reconnect with your instincts, trust your inner wisdom, and move through life with clarity and confidence.

Not all of my work involves horses—sometimes, the work happens in deep conversation, in guided reflection, or through virtual coaching. Whether we’re in the arena, on the land, or meeting from afar, my approach is about meeting you where you are, helping you break free from outdated patterns, and stepping into your power on your own terms.

At the core of everything I do is a belief in shared leadership, nervous system awareness, and the power of nature to reset and restore. This work isn’t about fitting into old models—it’s about disrupting what no longer serves you and creating something better.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION STATEMENT

At Wildherd Workshop, a diverse, inclusive, and equitable business is one where all employees and clients feel valued and respected, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education, or disability. We are committed to a nondiscriminatory approach; we respect and value diverse life experiences and heritages and ensure that all voices are valued and heard. We’re committed to modeling diversity and inclusion for the leadership consulting industry of the nonprofit sector, and to maintaining an inclusive environment with equitable treatment for all.

We acknowledge that Gray Mountain Ranch sits on the ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Ute peoples. We honor their enduring connection to this land and recognize the lasting impacts of their forced removal.
