“It’s about small shifts that lead to big changes – and the strength that comes from feeling well, inside and out.”
Health Coach Susanne Ridolfi started ‘Your Body & You’ because she has always been drawn to coaching. Susanne began with coaching gymnastics as a teenager, and over the years, that love for movement and helping others evolved into something more holistic.
Susanne provides a range of wellness solutions designed to nourish the body, mind, and spirit. From the purity of Zazen Water Filters to transformative health coaching, inspiring books, and rejuvenating mini-retreats, each offering is crafted to support living WELL into the future.
The idea came from noticing how many women feel disconnected from their bodies, their energy, and their sense of self. Susanne wanted to create a space specialising in self-healing practices for women wanting to reconnect with their true essence and align with their full potential.
It’s about small shifts that lead to big changes – and the strength that comes from feeling well, inside and out.
‘You are not separate from your body – you are your body’s wisdom in motion. Honour Her.’ Susanne says.
What Susanne enjoys the most is witnessing her clients come home to themselves, realise who they truly are, and understand the vital importance of speaking up and living life on their terms – that’s the heart of it.
It’s not just about raising awareness and insight; it’s about real change. When Susanne sees them take action, embody their worth, and create results they once only dreamed of – that’s what keeps her doing this work.
Susanne says that being a member of the HerBusiness Network for over two years has given her lifelong learning, connection with other like-minded women, collaboration, joy… and being able to get all this from the comfort of her home.
Who’s your favourite entrepreneur and why?
A favourite Female Entrepreneur is Lisa Messenger. Why? I read her ‘Daring & Disruptive’ book ten years ago – it inspired me in many ways. She is ‘real’, believes anything is POSSIBLE (I’m possible), never fears CHANGE, and lives life on your terms.
I like her passion to challenge individuals and corporations to change the way they think, take them out of their comfort zone and prove that there is more than one way to do anything. She encourages entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and innovation and lives life in alignment with her truth.
Recently, I have started to follow and enJOY Dan Martell. Another powerhouse and brilliant entrepreneur. Being at my age in life, time is imperative. HER Business introduced me to his book – Buy Back Your Time. Love it!

What do you enjoy most about running your own business?
What I enJOY the most is witnessing the women come home to themselves, realise who they truly are, and understand the vital importance of speaking up and living life on their terms – that’s the heart of it.
It’s not just about raising awareness and insight; it’s about real change. When I see them take action, embody their worth, and create results they once only dreamed of – that’s what keeps me doing this work.
What three pieces of advice do you wish you’d been given when you started?
- Trust your intuition and listen to your inner voice. Avoid all the noise, others’ opinions, and trends – your deepest knowing is your truest guide. Trust it early and often.
- Build your business around your life – a lifestyle business. Stay in alignment with your Purpose. You want your business to support your well-being, values, and lifestyle from the outset.
- Build strong relationships before you need them. Collaboration, community, and connection are vital. Your network will grow your net worth AND keep you inspired, supported, and sane.
What advice would YOU give someone thinking about starting a business?
I feel it is important to build from a place of alignment. Align with your Purpose and your life values. Bring your energy and your well-being in as a part of the business model. Honour your natural rhythms and cycles, just as you would in any healing process. There are seasons for growth and seasons for rest.
Business is a long game, and how you feel throughout it is just as important as what you do. If your nervous system is running in overdrive or you’re running on empty, it will eventually catch up with you.
Don’t wait to feel “ready.” Start small, start honestly, but just start. The ‘how’ will come. I believe clarity and confidence come through taking action and through trusting yourself along the way.
TRUST is a big part of it.
What skills and knowledge areas would you recommend those starting out in business get acquainted with quickly?
Self-awareness will be at the top of my list. Knowing how you work best, what energises you, and what drains – all that will help you make aligned decisions. As a health & embodiment coach, I believe your body is one of your most valuable business tools – when you learn to listen to it, you avoid burnout and build resilience.
Other essentials?
- Clear communication with yourself, your clients, and your support network.
- Clear boundaries – so you can give from a full cup, not an empty one.
- Flexibility – be prepared to change as you move along. Things don’t always go to plan, and that’s okay.
- A commitment to ongoing learning about business and yourself. Stop speaking, start listening and learn from those who have been there before you.
- And don’t underestimate the power of community. You’re not meant to do this alone.
What does your IDEAL business look like? Even if you’re not there yet, what would it look like if your business was ideal?
My IDEAL business feels spacious, meaningful, and deeply supportive. For me and the women I work with. It moves with rhythm. It honours the body, intuition, and the power of small, consistent practices to create real transformation.
My VISION for ‘Your Body & You’ is to create a global embodiment wellness and education platform – offering self-healing tools and practices for women who are ready to reconnect with their true essence and align with their full potential.
It will be a mix of online learning, live gatherings, retreats, and community – where women feel seen, held, and inspired to lead from within. And it gives me space too – to rest, create, and continue growing alongside the women I serve.
What problem does being a Member of the HerBusiness Network solve for you and your business? And, how?
- Lifelong learning
- Connection with other like-minded women
- Collaboration
- Joy
- Being able to get all this from the comfort of my home
