Equine-Assisted Coaching- A Pathway to Deeper Clarity, Connection, and Growth.

Not all breakthroughs happen in a chair across from a coach or therapist.

Some of the most profound insights of my life have come in a quiet pasture, standing beside a 1,200-pound being who’s reflections came not from my words or actions—but to my energy most of all.

Welcome to equine-assisted coaching—a powerful and experiential approach to personal growth that invites you to connect with yourself through the honest, intuitive feedback of horses.

Why Horses?

Horses are prey animals, which means they are biologically wired to be highly attuned to their surroundings. They sense energetic shifts, emotional incongruence, and subtle body language with remarkable clarity.

They don’t care about your job title, your follower count, or how well you’ve rehearsed your story.
They care about congruence. Presence. Truth.

And that’s what makes them such powerful co-facilitators.

When you step into the arena with a horse, you enter a space where masks come off and deeper awareness rises up—often without saying a word.

This Is Not Horse Therapy

Let’s clarify something: Equine-assisted coaching is not therapy.

It’s not about processing trauma from the past (though healing can happen).
It’s not about diagnosing or fixing.
It’s about noticing, feeling, and shifting—in real time.

In a session, you might work with a horse on the ground, guiding them through simple exercises or simply observing their behavior in response to your energy and emotional state. As your coach, I guide the reflection and help you draw meaningful connections between what’s happening with the horse and what’s happening in your life.

The Magic in the Metaphor

The horse becomes a mirror.
Their behavior often reflects your internal experience in a way that feels both undeniable and deeply affirming.

  • A horse hesitating to follow might mirror your own fear of leading.

  • A horse crowding your space might reveal blurred boundaries in your personal life.

  • A horse calming in your presence might reflect your newfound grounding and self-trust.

These metaphors aren’t just insightful—they’re felt.
They live in the body.
And that’s where real transformation begins.

Who Is This For?

Equine-assisted coaching is for you if:

  • You feel stuck in your head and crave a more embodied way to gain clarity

  • You're working on confidence, boundaries, leadership, or emotional regulation

  • You’re seeking healing and growth but talk therapy doesn’t fully resonate

  • You’re curious about reconnecting with your intuition in a profound way

  • You simply love being in the presence of animals and nature

No horse experience is necessary. You won’t be riding. You’ll be relating.

Let’s Step Into the Arena

If you’ve been craving a different kind of coaching experience—one that grounds you in your truth, expands your self-awareness, and invites you to learn through doing, sensing, and being—equine-assisted coaching might be the exact medicine you didn’t know you needed.

You already hold the answers.
The horse just helps you hear them more clearly.
