Many people and professionals reach a point in their lives or careers when they feel off balance, un-fulfilled, not as productive or successful as they desired. Sometimes you just need a little help getting back on track or defining new methods to becoming happier and more effective in life.

What happens? How is it done?
Generally we begin with a coaching session, talking about a specific goal or topic, one on one or in a group setting. We then go and interact with one or more horses in exercises that support the topic and bring the learning into an “experiential” level. Learning by doing. True learning happens in all domains of our lives. Mind, body and spirit. So we can “talk” about change, “feel” the emotions of wanting change, or what that may be like and then we take it into the physical level with the horses through various games.• What if I am little afraid/ intimidated by horses?
I totally understand this. Horses are big, powerful animals AND they are also loving, compassionate beings. There will be staff to observe both the participant(s) and the horse(s) to make sure you are safe. All exercises are done on the ground in a controlled environment. I want you to relax and enjoy the experience!
There is No Riding involved, No horse experience necessary. I personally choose horses that are suitable for interacting with people and your safety is my first priority. All exercises are designed to keep you safe and enjoying the process!
• Why horses and not other types of animals?
Horses are more like us than you think…they live in herds with other horses, much like living in our communities, families, work places, teams…you get the idea. They are hierarchal, meaning they have leaders, followers, observers, movers and shakers…just like us!
Horses are flight animals that, for their survival, are tuned in to the slightest inconsistency in their environment. They instinctively respond to what will keep them safe and they reflect back to us what is really going on inside us, without judgment. They resonate with the energy we put out, the energy of our thoughts, body language, tone of voice, and other cues. They are intuitive beings that can show us in an instant when we are fooling ourselves and when our thoughts and ideas are in line with what we truly believe and feel.
We communicate in similar ways…vocally, through body language, energetically and intuitively. Horses require us to be genuine or they will not choose to interact with us. Knowing these aspects, horses act as a mirror reflecting our selves in an honest and moving manner. Horses can literally teach us to be authentic and reveal what that means for each of us. They are honest mirrors that reflect back to us inconsistent behaviors we may not have been aware of – behaviors that stop us from moving forward in life or moving deeper into our own authenticity. When horses mirror things you don’t already know about yourself, new actions are possible. The horse’s behavior also can act as a metaphor for our own lives. This can be a truly unique and powerful experience!

Testimonial ::
"Watching the horses interact and commenting on what I saw happening between them allowed me to see how much I was assuming about the motives of others. I am grateful for this insight.
To experience a horse's responses to my body language and emotions was surprising and enlightening. A mirror to my soul! I learned how to be more honestly aware of the energy I was giving off and how to begin to use this knowledge to positively affect all of the relationships in my life. The workshop I attended has given me a great deal of information to work with."
