Discovering Your Purpose

Whether you're looking for personalized support in your business, your connection with your horse, or your own healing journey, Aniela offers customized 1:1 coaching sessions designed to guide and empower you.

Our Founder

I’m Aniela Gottwald, founder of Riding Wild—a global nonprofit I’ve built on my own, growing it into a $275K force for healing through horseback wilderness journeys designed for women.

To date, I’ve personally funded full reparations-based scholarships for 14 BIPOC women, ensuring access to this work is grounded in equity and repair.

Riding Wild was born from my own healing path: a 1,300-mile solo journey on horseback, riding alongside wild horses I trained. That experience—gritty, transformational, somatically healing, and deeply human—shaped the foundation of everything I do.

Your purpose is not found - it is remembered.

It has always been within you, waiting for the moment when the trials of your journey awaken it. The path you walk, the storms you endure, they are not detours; they are the forging of the one you were always meant to be.

My Healing Foundation

I’m a trauma-informed yin yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, Reiki healer, and practitioner of somatic trauma and attachment healing. My own healing journey has taken me through the layers of genetic depression and ancestral trauma—guided by intuition, nervous system repair, gut healing, nutrition, and a devoted meditation practice.

My work is grounded in lived experience and attuned by a strong, intuitive sensitivity that allows me to perceive what often goes unspoken—supporting deep, lasting transformation.

One-on-One Intuitive Mentorship

I offer one-on-one intuitive guidance for women who are ready to return to themselves. Together, we work with nervous system regulation, inner child and parts work, feminine embodiment, and soul-aligned business mentoring.

This work is for women ready to heal from within, reconnect with their bodies and intuition and live with greater clarity, intention, and courage—led by the truth of who they are.

"The doors to the world of the wild Self are few but precious. If you have a deep scar, that is a door. If you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love the sky and the water so much you almost cannot bear it, that is a door.”
