WRITER | EQUESTRIAN | SOMATIC EDUCATOR
You feel it — that vague, nagging sense that there must be more than this. That cell-deep longing for a way of life you’ve never actually known, but your bones remember anyway.
So you do the things: therapy, coaching, meditation, reiki, yoga. You light the candles, stack the self-help books, fill yet another journal with intentions.
And still — the ache persists.
Because the truth is, we’ve been conditioned away from our inner wisdom. Cut off from the natural rhythms that once grounded our ancestors. Divorced from the land that sustains us, from the bonds of true community, from the quiet cycles of rest and renewal.
Instead, we’re spoon-fed fixes that never fill us — another promotion, another pair of leggings, another mindfulness app subscription. But like a sugar rush, they spike and crash, leaving you more hollow than before.
What you’re really craving isn't on Amazon.
It’s belonging. Connection. Creativity that flows from within instead performing for the approval of others. You live a life where your body, your choices, your voice — finally — feel like your own.
Your senses are always scanning the environment to decide whether you’re safe. A nervous system locked into survival mode can never settle, never find the anchors of safety around it. Clarity remains elusive. You end up navigating your life with tension, people-pleasing, and fear.
But when you reconnect with the subtle signals of your body, your brain calms down. You start to feel safe—not just in your thoughts, but in your cells. You come home to yourself and make steady, grounded decisions that are truly your own.
From there, everything shifts. You stop performing and start belonging. You stop running on stress and start living from steadiness. You stop chasing someone else’s version of “enough” and step into your own.
LET'S MAKE LIFE MAGICAL, SHALL WE?
I'm Sukie--a writer, equestrian, and humanist exploring how the nervous system shapes not only movement and health, but also the deeper questions of identity, freedom, and belonging.
My work spans clinical practice, trauma healing, and systems thinking, with a throughline of helping people return to themselves in a culture that often trains us to disconnect.
I have a B.A. in Linguistics, fifteen years of clinical bodywork practice working with both humans and horses, and a background in competitive athletics.
Over the past two decades, I've worked with professionals from top companies including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, and been featured in publications such as Forbes, Chopra, and Practical Horseman.
Through my YouTube channel, my videos have reached millions worldwide, offering accessible frameworks for nervous system health and embodied living.
In addition to my teaching, I'm an equestrian and lifelong student of the ways culture lives in the body, drawing inspiration from my experiences with movement, pain science, and wild horse training.
I live in the Pacific Northwest, where I continue to write, teach, and develop practices at the intersection of neurobiology, embodiment, and creative freedom.
Sukie Baxter is a woman with an incredible heart and wisdom beyond her years. Being around Sukie makes me want to be a better person. I would recommend her to anyone I know.

I'm here to guide you on that journey. No hype. No fluff. Just a quiet way back to your inner belonging.
