Working with Horses to Improve your Life

Whether you are addressing obstacles at work, at home or at school, horses offer opportunities to re-assess yourself and your approach to personal and professional excellence and fulfillment. Connecting and communicating with horses through the body allows you to access intuition, clarity and choice, as you are tapping into potential beyond just the thinking mind.

This work primarily takes place on the ground, with the horses. Adults, teens and children can all benefit from learning with horses, and we tailor the programs accordingly. Sessions for individuals and groups are conducted in a confidential, retreat-style manner. This work complements talk therapy, yoga, meditation, and other mindfulness and physical wellbeing practices.

Horses are some of the best guidance counselors available. Without judgment or agenda, they respond to us in every moment as we truly are, uncovering the roots of our blocks and the seeds of our potential. As a trained professional coach, my job is to help people read the body language of the horses working with them in order to translate what the horse is saying about their communication or presence. We can often uncover deeper truths and get to the heart of a difficult matter in a very short time. The beauty of coaching with horses is, the next step is to develop exercises and practices to make the necessary changes in order to live differently and increase wellbeing.
