When was the last time that you received, non-judgmental, honest, immediate, genuine, sincere feedback on your thoughts, emotions, words and actions?
When was the last time you were able to turn off the inner chaos that holds you back and really embrace the present moment with calmness and serenity?
When life gets frustrating, overwhelming and even paralyzing, you deserve support and encouragement. A car needs maintenance so that the tires don’t blow or the engine doesn’t seize. A human nervous system needs attention so that the mind doesn't break. Our Equine Assisted therapeutic programs are maintenance, comfort and repair for your mind and your soul. You deserve to thrive and love your life, allow the experience of interacting with horses help you create the life you deserve.
What is Equine-Assisted Life Coaching and Why?
In short, Equine-Assisted Life Coaching is a powerful and effective therapeutic approach that includes one or more horses, Equine Assisted practitioner and participant.
Equine-Assisted Life Coaching is a very special and authentic experience facilitated through horses, supporting people to free themselves from roles, expectations and limitations by rediscovering and connecting with their Authentic-Self to live your best life. The interaction with the horses naturally helps you to connect the dots to areas in your life that we may not have connected as easily before. It is a moving and magical experience!
With Equine-Assisted Coaching we (you, our horse partners and myself) will co-create your own unique experience, free yourself from expectations and allow yourself to be open to finding a new path. Each session begins with a conversation about your goals, where you are at in the process and we will set up an activity with the horse(s). finally, we will conclude with discussion about what was discovered during this session and how you can apply this to your everyday life. As simple as this sounds, the horses add element that assists clients understand themselves on a completely new level. It is absolutely magical to watch and experience!
Through this process, we will raise your emotional awareness, break unhealthy thought cycles and reclaim your life. Sessions are based on a person-centered, trauma-informed and experiential approach. In other words, through the experience/action of interacting with horses, this approach enables each participant to reflect, learn and grow in their own way and at their own pace, without judgement and with understanding.
* It's important to note that the effectiveness of Equine-Assisted Life Coaching can vary from person to person, and not everyone may respond equally to this approach. However, for many individuals, the unique qualities of Equine-Assisted Life Coaching can provide valuable insights and promote personal growth and development.
* It is also important to note, this is not therapy, but rather therapeutic. Life Coaching differs from traditional therapy as we do not delve into your past but rather meet you where you are today and work from there. Ironically horses approach life in a very similar fashion, they are a very in-the-moment animal.
*Also note horse experience is absolutely NOT required! I've got ya covered!

Saddle up your Strength
Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway. There is another old cowboy saying that says if you get bucked off the horse, you get right back on. After getting bucked off the horse of life, it can be incredibly scary and take an enormous amount of courage to get back in the saddle. I am so excited to help you climb back on and create the ride of your life!

Equine Assisted Peer Support Group Programs
​Alpha Mare Peer Group Program​
This is a peer group for women who need to find their inner Alpha Mare, within a "herd". Just like a herd of horses, we were never meant to live life alone. We need other "mares" to support us! Furthermore, like the lead mare in a horse herd, women are nurturers. The Alpha Mare in a herd can also be an assertive leader and fierce protector who has strong and connected relationships with the others in her herd. They are programmed to take care of others and unfortunately are prone to making too many personal sacrifices and over looking their own needs. Furthermore, due to putting their own needs last (if at all), they don't always access help either. Our Alpha Mare offers the novel addition of horses without the stigma and pressure of traditional "therapy" to give you that opportunity to access the support you deserve. I view this as simply self-care, as the best self care option!
The Alpha Mare Peer Program enables women who are experiencing personal struggles to set boundaries, make healthy choices, build self-esteem and cope with change. This program facilitates peer support as women join together to take part in a meaningful activity and bond over a shared interest. This equips women with the confidence and communication skills to talk about their struggles, form a supportive 'herd' and discover their inner Alpha Mare qualities.
This group will meet weekly at our facility where we will incorporate horses and support each other in our journey down life's trail. NO previous horse experience needed! This is a completely unmounted program.
Contact me for further information. Groups will be starting summer of 2025.
