My Personal Journey

I’m Suzy Kratzig, Coach, Trainer, and Creator of Wise Women: Rise, Empower, Thrive.
For over 20 years, I’ve worked with women in education and nonprofit spaces, witnessing the deep wisdom we all carry yet often overlook. We’ve been conditioned to second-guess ourselves, to downplay our strengths, to push through stress without pause. I’ve lived this too, caught in the tension between who I thought I should be and who I truly am.
A personal journey of healing led me to the practices I now share. After experiencing a major trauma, I sought mind-body techniques, trauma-informed tools, and energy leadership principles that helped me shift my relationship with stress, fear, and self-trust. Along the way, I became a Certified Professional Coach, an Energy Leadership™ Index Master Practitioner, and a Licensed Facilitator of TIMBo, a Trauma-Informed Mind-Body program.
More than anything, I believe in the power of intuition and connection. It’s what led me to trust my gut and collect hitchhiking stories in Mexico, France, West Africa, and even a city in the U.S. It’s how I’ve found myself deep in conversation with strangers across continents. And it’s how, years later, I met my scientist husband, who responded to a Chogyam Trungpa quote on my Tinder profile. We connected instantly.
Now, life is a mix of structure and spontaneity. I fit dog walks in between client sessions and boogie in the kitchen with my husband and my six year old whenever the mood strikes. Our home is a lived-in oasis of bold colors, vibrant art, books, and joyful chaos – a place where shoes pile up by the door, the dog barks a greeting, and deep conversation is always welcome.
These days, I don’t travel as far, and adventure still finds me – in my writing, in playing with my daughter, in the stories I hear from the women I work with.
In my work, my goal is to create a welcoming space, where women can reconnect with their inner wisdom, be seen, and be heard. I believe that no matter how disconnected we feel from our power, it’s always there, waiting to be reclaimed.
