After being was downsized and decided to walk 800 kilometers on a medieval pilgrimage route known as the Camino. Since then she has walked a variety of distances on the Camino 29 times, alone and guiding groups.
It was through her connection to nature while walking that inspired her to go barefoot. In the first year of walking barefoot, she discovered that her asthma cleared up, her feet became strong and her balance improved. After years of barefooting in the snow, she heard about Wim Hof. In 2017 she was trained by him in Poland and again at the Wim Hof Method Instructor Certification. Sue committed to serving humanity by sharing the healing power of nature through Rewilding Coaching, teaching the Wim Hof Method, and she went viral on TikTok as Barefoot Sue when she began posting tips for isolation and stress management at the beginning of the pandemic.
She is a Camino Coach and Guide, Level 2 Rowing Coach, and the author of My Camino, Confessions of a Pilgrim, and How to Wear Bare Feet.

Her book My Camino is in development as a feature film with production company Item 7, in Montreal.
