Horse Partners for Personal Growth
Winston Churchill once said, “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” Or woman, or child, or teenager, I might add.
I have loved horses since I was very young, and they have been a formative part of my life. With horses I have found peace, learned responsibility, gained confidence, overcome challenges and developed a passion. Horses have taught me how to be firm, how to forgive, how to get up and try again. Horses have helped me mend a broken heart, learn the value of hard work, and reach goals I never thought I could. Horses still provide a place of true connection where I can unplug from technology and escape all of life’s distractions.
I became a life coach in 2018, and when I heard about Equine Facilitated Coaching, I knew I had to add it to my practice. Here was the perfect convergence of all of my passions! To share the comfort and power of horses within the framework of life coaching seemed a tailor-
made pinnacle to my career journey. I sought certification through the HERD Institute, first learning about the philosophy and theory behind the work, and then taking part in a 3-day hands-on intensive in Boulder, CO. I became smitten with horses all over again. The sessions were powerful, even for experienced horse people.
Horses are sentient, energetic beings. They always respond with authenticity and presence. They aren’t thinking about the future or the past. By nature, horses live in the moment. However, they are also large and sometimes unpredictable animals. Their size and energy paired with the fact that they allow for true connection is why the magic happens. When you bring yourself fully into an interaction with horses, they will reflect that and respond. On the other hand, if you are distracted or uncertain, they will react differently. Horses can feel the energy we bring and when we partner with them, we can start to understand ourselves on a different level.
I am so excited to bring this work to my corner of the world. Sessions take place on a peaceful property on Lookout Mountain in beautiful Golden, CO. Contact me to learn more or schedule a session for you or your child. Click HERE for rates.
