With open hearts

touched by life.

I exist in many facets and yet I am always one

My way through the eye of the needle

I live what I share and teach with you

My name is Sieglinde Zottmaier, I am a medicine woman.

I have experienced many challenges in my life. Abuse, alcoholism, burnout and insolvency.

My resilience, my inquiring mind and my basic trust have enabled me to discover and develop my skills and now share them with others.

My turning point came when I realized that the successful gourmet restaurant and hotel Schauenstein, which I had opened and managed with my then partner Andreas Caminada – and experienced a kind of fairytale in the process – would not be good for me in the long term. Exhausted, I gave up my life and discovered my connection with horses during this transitional period. I eventually bought my first horse, Rainbow, and opened a small restaurant.

Unfortunately, the restaurant failed and I had to file for bankruptcy. My time in gastronomy came to an end.

In this magical moment, the moment between times, I became free of any expectations. I had the opportunity to rewrite my story.

I have been living close to nature with my herd of horses in the Grisons Alps for 15 years now. The horses and the wild nature accompany me and guide me through our everyday life together.

The horses are medicine. Every day, horses and nature touch and teach me with their pure wisdom. The simplicity and clarity of our rural existence, today with my partner Alfons Cotti, create a space that I am happy to share.

I share this space in order to successfully accompany people on their path to inner serenity, the desire to dream their own vision into life and a “laisser faire” attitude of integrity.

Speak your truth – Walk your talk

My journey of resilience and transformation has set me free and taught me that we always have the opportunity to rewrite our story to speak our truth and live it. I am grateful for the challenges that I have gone through and am still going through, because they allow me to become who I am every day.

My medicine

Horses – Plants – Wilderness – Body – Mind

Death in the shamanic sense. I walk with you fearlessly into the deepest cave of your being to bring your truth to life.

My own life experience incorporates the building blocks I have collected from many horse people, teachers and entities. A big thank you at this point to all the encounters, dialogs and teachings that have allowed me to grow into my form and let me continue to do so. Thank you!

In solidarity

Sieglinde
