EMPONI

The only burnout recovery program for equestrian professionals who are sick of sacrificing their bodies, sanity or joy to stay in business.
“You will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and come back again.” — Dostoevsky

If you run an equine coaching business, train, develop, or breed the next generation of four-legged money pits (or their riders)...

… and you're tired of living on the edge of burnout,

this is 100% for you.

Picture this:

You, taking a vacation. WHOA.

You, having a weekend off without the barn imploding or clients blowing up your phone.

You, making decisions without your eye twitching.

You, actually loving your job instead of sitting on a mounting block in dissociated misery.

You, no longer waking up at 3am in a panic screaming, “f*ck, did I shut the gate?” You didn’t work this hard, build this life, and pour so much into your business just to burn out in the middle of it.

This is not a fantasy. It’s what life looks like after EMPONI.

 


Hi, I'm Nadia.

I’ve walked in your mud-covered boots.

I’ve built thriving equine businesses.

I’ve lived the petrol station meals, the messy car because there’s no time to clean it, and the days I survived on chocolate, crisps, and ice tea, while my colleagues ran on 6 coffees and Red Bull like it was oxygen.

I’ve spent a decade in the industry as a professional coach, equine behaviour consultant, and rehabilitation specialist - working with both horses and the humans trying not to break down while holding it all together.

I’ve earned 13 years of higher education in human psychology and equestrian science—with so many continued education certificates I’ve lost count.

And still, I burned out so hard I forgot what joy even felt like - let alone what my body needed.

That’s why I created EMPONI.

Because someone had to say it:

You can’t keep running a business that runs you into the ground and expect to love it.

The equine industry doesn’t get to keep us sick, broke, overworked, and emotionally exhausted anymore.

Not on my watch.

Inside EMPONI, I’ve watched:

  • 15-year burnout cycles unravel and heal in a matter of months
  • Women get their menstrual cycles back after years of stress-induced absence
  • Clients taper off antidepressants safely because they finally had a nervous system that could rest

This isn’t just about burnout recovery.

It’s about reclaiming your body, your joy, and the life you thought you had to sacrifice to do what you love.

🪵 What is EMPONI?

EMPONI is a 20-week, full-spectrum burnout recovery program built specifically for equestrian professionals.

It’s where nervous system healing meets practical habit change meets business model revolution.

Not in theory : In your barn. With your schedule. In the real-world chaos of this sport and industry.

Why This Industry Needs EMPONI:

This industry is notorious for slim profit margins, martyrdom, and (understandably) demanding clients.

But dedication shouldn’t look like running on cortisol and caffeine.

You didn’t build your life around horses just to end up resenting every client text or every second spent alone with your books or resenting your OWN horses.

It’s time for more soundness in your business, not just your horse.

Less grinding through back pain with a fake smile.

More fire in your gut, calm in your chest, and days that don’t feel like survival drills.

 

What EMPONI Covers:

Let’s break it down:

 

MODULE 1: The Roots of Your Burnout

Burnout isn’t an accident.
It’s the accumulation of mental patterns, trauma, people-pleasing reflexes, and chronic overload disguised as passion.

In this module, you’ll map out your personal burnout story : understanding where, when, and how the threads started to unravel.
You’ll finally be able to name what you’re experiencing instead of getting lost in it.

🔁 Result: You’ll stop repeating the same self-destructive cycles.
You’ll know how to say no to what’s draining you before you hit the wall.
You’ll begin to reclaim your energy, your time, and your mental clarity  even during peak season.

 

MODULE 2: Your Health - Not Just the Horse’s

If you want to stay in this industry long term, your foundations need to be solid.

We’ll rebuild the real pillars of recovery: food, sleep, hydration, gentle movement, and nervous system regulation.
One step at a time. No pressure. No perfection.

🔁 Result: You’ll stop waking up feeling like a draft horse trampled you.
You’ll regain steady energy, reduce chronic pain, and experience clear-headed, functional days again.

 

MODULE 3: Boundaries with Clients, Work, and Life

No more self-sacrifice that leads to resentment, exhaustion, and an unsustainable business.

In this module, you’ll raise your rates, rewrite your rules, and claim your time - without losing client respect.
Because setting boundaries isn’t being “difficult.” It’s being professional.

🔁 Result: You’ll earn better income, work with clients who respect you, and stop replying to messages at 10PM just because you feel guilty.

 

MODULE 4: Your Health and Boundaries Inside Your Work/Business

We’ll zoom out and rework your schedule, offers, workload and CEO energy.
Not to help you do more  but to help you do what matters, with less burnout and more alignment.

You’ll build a work structure that supports your body, your rhythm, and your mission.

🔁 Result: You’ll gain hours back each week. You’ll know exactly what to prioritize. You’ll reconnect with your true professional vision - not just the never-ending to-do list.

 

MODULE 5: Strategies for When It All Goes Sideways

Because yes, there will still be hard days.
Last-minute chaos. Difficult clients. Regression with a horse. Unexpected emotional triggers.

But now, you won’t collapse with the chaos.

You’ll have rituals, protocols, and support systems to stay upright without shutting down every time life swerves.

🔁 Result: You’ll stay regulated, even in the mess.
You won’t need 4 days to recover from a conflict or setback.
You’ll bounce back with clarity and presence not self-sabotage or avoidance.

Who EMPONI Is For:

This is for the equestrian who’s:

  • Torn between good intentions and pure survival
  • Using their body 24/7 in the sport and wondering why they feel emotionally numb
  • Still gunning for excellence but finally ready to do it in a way their nervous system can handle
  • Tired of glorifying the grind
  • Ready to enjoy life and build something real again

Who This Is Not For:

  • "Aspiring" equestrians still living in theory
  • Professionals who aren’t ready to do the inner work
  • Folks who looking for a miracle fix when they what they need is legal advice, clinical care or an accountant more than a nervous system and life reset

 

Let’s Be Real:

Burnout and stress in this industry are NOT inevitable.

They are symptoms of a broken system and how we’ve been conditioned to subscribe to it.

EMPONI is your opt-out clause.

A total rewrite of the rules you’ve been living under.

A reclamation of your time, your joy, and your self-respect.

“You don’t have to burn out to shine bright.”

Burnout isn’t just individual. It’s a team performance problem. It leads to lower client retention, poor decision making, long-term soundness issues, and the reduced welfare of the horses.
