Cheryl Cruttenden

Cheryl Cruttenden is the founder of Windhorse Wisdom - Coaching & Embodied Leadership with Horses programs.

With a love of the outdoors and horses, along with her experience and background in outdoor education, Cheryl's head based craving for science informed practice, is artfully weaved with psycho education, experiential learning, contemplative, and trauma informed embodiment practices.

She shares her approach to human development and embodied leadership presenting at conferences both locally and internationally, and conducting programs both in house and in the field. Participants of her programs have described her style as warm, safe, generous, engaging, transformative and even magical.

She is passionate about the power of nature based learning in partnership with horses. Her facilitating skills, executive coach training and studies in trauma and somatic leadership practices, helps guide others to bring all those cognitive concepts and knowing from the head, back down into the lived experience of the body.

Working with the nervous system, with and through the body, her work unfolds naturally and gently between horse, human and nature. She is passionate about guiding others in living their most Compassionate, Creative and Courageous life through harnessing their innate potential and unbridling the human spirit in relationship and deep connection to the distributed intelligence of the body.

She is a contributing author of two books and through her business windhorsewisdom.com.au she runs personal and professional retreats and through mbrainingwithhorses.com runs certified multiple Intelligence Techniques (mBIT) Leadership and coach training. In addition she conducts programs mentoring and training equine facilitators. You can find her both in house or in the field of Horse.

When she's not with her herd, being outstanding in her field, you can find Cheryl travelling to far flung places or camping in remote areas.
