Join "She Rises” 5-Day Retreat
For Visionary Women

Bring Your Vision to Life. Step into Unapologetic Visibility and Sacred Boundaries. Unlock Creative Flow and Deep Trust. Share Real Leadership Journeys with Women Who Lead—Through Integrative Coaching, Breathwork, and Masterminds.

Are You Ready To Lead Differently - With Feminine, Fierce, and Free Energy?

You’re a visionary woman, holding so much — achieving, leading, building, caring.

You’re tired of pushing through leadership models that were never made for you—masculine, hustling, rigid.

There’s no room for your body and your dreams.

You crave a new way. One where success doesn’t cost your soul.
Where leadership is rooted in trust, not tension.

But lately, the pace has left you depleted and overwhelmed.
Disconnected from your joy.

You feel like you’re fighting a silent battle. And it’s lonely.

But it doesn’t have to be.

Imagine if you’d feel safe in your body,  know your value and you radiate confidence from within. 

Imagine stepping into your bold vision, fully yours. 

And around you: a circle of women who see you, hold you, and rise with you.

Whether you’re an executive, founder, artist, or community builder—if you feel called to lead with authenticity and inner freedom, the time is now.

Because waiting only leads to burnout, disconnection, and a quiet ache that shows up in your body, in your bones.

It’s time to return home – to yourself.

To lead with clarity, courage, and softness that doesn’t collapse.

You’re not alone.
Other women are walking this same path.
And now, we’re inviting you to walk it together.

Meet Your Facilitators

Meet Alsu Kashapova

I know what it feels like to navigate a world that wasn’t designed for you.

For years, I climbed the ranks as a Tech Executive in male-dominated industries, constantly balancing ambition with authenticity and striving to lead without losing myself in the process.

The challenges were real—self-doubt, office politics, and the pressure to prove my worth.

But along the way, I discovered something profound: my greatest power as a leader came from embracing, not abandoning, the qualities that make me who I am—intuition, creativity, and the courage to lead from the heart.

That realization changed everything. I started following my calling—helping leaders rise boldly, lead authentically, and create lasting impact.

Over the years, I’ve guided 15,000+ people through 1-1 Coaching, Retreats, Online courses, and Group experiences, combining Breathwork, Hypnotherapy, Rapid Transformational Therapy, and Compassionate Inquiry with Leadership Frameworks that work in the real world.

I’ve shared my story on TEDx and Mindvalley stages and learned from transformational teachers like Gabor Maté and Marisa Peer.

But what excites me most is helping people like you remember your essence, step into your authentic power and lead in a way that feels true to you.

Meet Gemma Knowles

For over two decades, I dedicated my life to animal welfare—co-founding and leading projects like the Fundación Trifolium and the Horse Life Experience in Spain, exploring natural healing modalities to support their well-being, advocated for animal wellness, wrote books and articles.

But somewhere along the way, I lost touch with myself.

After years of giving, I met burnout.
What followed was a quiet unraveling—an initiation into the shadows of my own story: inner child wounds, generational pain, and the deep conditioning I had carried for far too long.

And yet, it was the very tools I had once used to heal others that became my lifeline.

What I had offered to animals now held me through my own dark night of the soul. The animals, especially the horses, gave back tenfold.

In their presence, I found truth.  Through their presence I reconnected with my authenticity and the person I was destined to be.

Today, I guide others through powerful Equine-Facilitated Self-Discovery Sessions, Breathwork, Cold immersion, and Deep Circles of reconnection.

These are sacred spaces where participants are invited to unbecome everything they thought they had to be and dream up the self that longs to emerge

I Have Clarity On My Life Purpose In Line With My Goals

It was one of the best retreats I ever experienced! (Attended Align and Expand in Barcelona) I feel so connected with my heart. I feel much more clarity about my life purpose in line with my life goals. It was a combination of different methodologies, like the coaching, dancing, breathing exercises, the visualization. Even as the world champion in ice swimming, sitting in the ice during the retreat, meditating, and feeling the power of the team, was incredible. I loved honest conversations where we could show up vulnerability. We also worked towards our true essence. It was so amazing that at the end we were all there, connected to our true essence. I completely recommend this great experience.

I Left With a Clear Vision & Took Action Immediately

Attending Alsu’s Leadership Retreat in Morocco 2024 was a truly inspiring and impactful experience! I felt stuck in my business and unsure of my next steps. I needed clarity and a fresh perspective to move forward. Through breathwork, systemic coaching, journaling, ice baths, and powerful Mastermind sessions, I gained deep insights and a renewed vision.
Alsu’s step-by-step program created the perfect structure to help us prepare and start living our future.
By the end of the retreat, I had a clear expansion plan for my business—and I took action immediately.
Alsu’s expertise, combined with the supportive group atmosphere, made this experience invaluable.
If you're feeling stuck or looking to elevate your business, I highly recommend working with Alsu.
Her integrative coaching is truly transformational!

I Saw Sides Of The Essence Of My Husband After 35 Years Of Marriage. It's Priceless.

My struggle is really with my family, I grew up with parent’s fights and a lot of challenges. And it’s difficult for me to process it, and to see how it shows up with my husband and my son.
Alsu is able to guide me intuitively through various tools, so in every session, I’m able to get so much deeper insights than my original issue. The retreat allowed me to learn from other people’s journey - their struggles and then how they came through. During the breathing exercises, I released a lot from my heart. And we came together with my spouse. And I got to see sides of my husband, of his essence, I didn’t get to see before, even we're married for 35 years. And that's priceless. You fall in love with the person again because you see who they are, not what they do. And I want to be more appreciative of our relationships.

I Rediscovered My Vision & Gained Clarity

Before attending Alsu’s retreat, I felt stuck in routine and disconnected from my bigger vision.

This retreat was the reset I needed—offering space for deep reflection, inner transformation, and connection with inspiring entrepreneurs. The 4-hour silent hike, guided by Alsu’s prompts, was a breakthrough moment, helping me gain clarity and perspective. The mastermind sessions were just as powerful, as we worked through challenges and shared profound insights. Alsu is a masterful facilitator who creates a safe and transformative space.
She shows up with care, intention, and deep wisdom.
If you get the opportunity to work with her, take it—she will help you unlock your next level.

I experienced Alsu's one-on-one holistic therapy sessions.
I've been amazed at how well she understood what I needed to work on.
Combined with the retreat this journey is the most transformational experiences for me.
I've previously attended coaching, therapy and religious retreats, but never found a connection between spirituality and emotionality.

This experienced helped bridge these worlds for me, working on various levels from the body to the soul and universe.
What's unique is that Alsu and Teresa are relatable, not like traditional spiritual guides. They lives a normal life, as leaders in their industries and entrepreneurs.
Seeing her integrate this knowledge into everyday life is inspiring and reassuring.

Alsu’s work is unlike anything I’ve experienced in over a decade of personal development and therapy. Through her profound sessions, I accessed a transformation that no book or program could have ever given me.
Her deep, spiritual, and embodied approach helped me release years of pain, dissolve limiting beliefs, and step into a calmer, clearer, more powerful version of myself.
I never had such depth, intention, and impact.

As a visionary entrepreneur seeking clarity for my next venture, I came to Alsu looking for direction, but she gave me something far greater: a reconnection with my body, my energy, and my presence.

From that space, clarity became inevitable. I’m now preparing to launch my business, grounded, inspired, and deeply aligned.
I cannot recommend Alsu’s work enough to any woman who feels something’s missing or whose mind is swirling in a thousand directions. This work is truly life-changing.

What People Say About Integrative Coaching With Alsu

Kalai

Alsu helps me see possible paths and I choose willingly. She makes me feel comfortable with change and growth. Through our sessions I see my past as a powerful strength. And I feel comfortable as I am. Complete as I am. Enough as I am. I have read books on these topics, attended training, but only through the program with Alsu made me experience it. I feel happy, hopeful, inspired, and light after our sessions. After working with you for a while, my days are mostly delighted, bright and more straightforward. I am way more patient now, especially dealing with people. People used to tell me I had so much passion for life, but I lost that and didn't know if I could even get back there, now I feel like myself again!
I also improved my relationship with my parents. I see them with more love these days!

I have several businesses. I worked with Alsu because I had difficulties at work and personally. At the very beginning I felt resistance, I had difficulty getting emotions out.
But through Therapeutic Coaching, Breathwork, RTT I found a new joy in me that hadn’t felt in a long time, a lot of release and re-awakening, finding myself and learning to enjoy life again. I’m so grateful that I met Alsu and that I went through this process of growth and learning. In one of my businesses the past 2 years were difficult, and I have had a hard time to get motivation, inspiration and figuring out how to move forward. And through the HTC program with Alsu I found new ideas within me and motivation sprouted again, and I have a lot of energy, motivation and resources within me to turn things around and get success.

I Gained Clarity, Took Action, and Stepped Into My Next Level​

At a pivotal moment in my career, I felt stuck with too many options and no clear direction.
Working with Alsu helped me cut through the noise, focus on what truly matters, and take action with confidence.
Her coaching techniques and breathwork sessions were powerful tools that enabled me to break through limitations and realign with my goals.
The leadership retreat was a turning point, giving me the clarity and momentum I needed. If you're looking to unlock your full potential and step into your next level, I highly recommend working with Alsu! Chris Baldwin, PhD, MBA

Alsu has emotional empathy, sensitivity, and understanding beyond I can explain, I feel connected, understood, magical. Also, seeing things beyond this present energy, magical empathy and clairvoyance. She is able to create a space of safety, to go somewhere that is not easy to express, to go to a deeper corner of yourself. She masterfully does shifting from body-mind-body. So I won’t avoid feelings, I’ve learned to stay with them. I can access the root causes of issues that I’m facing, I can understand and access stories from childhood and heal them. Sessions are beyond psyche, out-of-body experiences, and insights. It’s a great combination of therapy, coaching and somatic work, it goes out of proportion in a beautiful way. I feel the most blessed, liberated and free after working together and I have a new level of self-acceptance as never before.

I Tapped Into My Essence Through Different Practices

I was not expecting so much depth in this retreat. At this retreat I have tapped into my essence through different practices and because of everyone, but especially because Alsu and Teresa have offered a safe space.
I've been able to express myself, and it's hard for me to just show, show my true self. It's been very transformational.
Inner work, Breathwork, Sharing Circles, Ecstatic Dance - I really like where these practices took me, they allowed me to explore...many different ways to reach essence.
Through breathwork I also accessed the magnetic field that we are, with tantra I felt playfulness and femininity.

With a group we've gone through so many ways of connecting and mirroring each other, and it allowed to learn and integrate a lot of parts of me that were missing.

You'll Discover Parts Of Yourself You May Not Have Seen Before

I'm going through a phase in my life where many things are happening.
The retreat journey went deep quickly. I realized it required me to be fully present with my emotions, to witness the process, and to trust it. I felt truly supported by both Alsu, Teresa, and the group.
It provided the ideal setting for me to see and get what I needed while also contributing to the group.
Everything has been thoughtfully designed, from the physical space to the activities, and you can feel the intention behind every action. I loved creative activities, like expressing our essence through art, it felt natural for me to express in this way. You'll discover parts of yourself you may not have seen before, all in a safe and enjoyable setting. If you feel the call for transformation within yourself, trust that this is the space for you.
