Founder Story
Michelle Fetters
Transformational Life & Leadership Coach | Equine-Assisted Facilitator | Conscious Horsemanship Educator | Founder of Dancing Spirit Equine
Michelle is a Personal & Professional Coach, Equine-Assisted Facilitator, and lifelong student of horse wisdom and herd dynamics. Her work bridges the worlds of conscious horsemanship, holistic well-being, and consensual leadership development, offering clients a grounded, heart-led path to self-discovery and authentic empowerment.
Prior to her work in holistic well-being and coaching, Michelle spent over 25 years in the corporate sector, specializing in operational development, team building, and strategic partnerships. Her expertise includes fostering partnerships between Veteran-Owned, Women-Owned, Native American-Owned enterprises with major corporations to create mutually beneficial collaborations and scalable growth platforms.
That path ultimately led her back to the equine arena—not just as a metaphor, but as a calling. Today, Michelle is an ICF-Certified Equine-Assisted Coach, blending her business acumen with the relational intelligence of the herd to create experiential learning that supports leaders in high-performance environments. She is a graduate of the Equine Alchemy ICF Coaching Program, the Eponaquest Worldwide Apprenticeship and Advanced Instructor Program, Master Herder Instructor Training, and Sentient Communication Instructor Training. Michelle is also a member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and a Certified Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Supreme Influence—modalities focused on the science of human behavior, influence, and communication excellence.
Her holistic background includes certifications as a Reiki Master and Certified Holistic Health Coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Drawing from this diverse foundation, Michelle has culminated a powerful set of tools that integrate behavioral science, somatic awareness, and horse-guided learning to help clients reconnect with their intuitive strengths and lead with graceful purpose.
Inspired by the powerful wisdom of the herd and the rhythm of the horse-human bond, Michelle offers leadership development experiences that are both strategic and soulful. Through Dancing Spirit Equine LLC, she helps clients cultivate emotional intelligence, expand critical thinking and self-awareness, deepen social awareness, and lead with grounded presence in every area of life and work.
