Equine-Assisted Coaching (EAC) is a powerful experiential approach that helps individuals overcome obstacles, release limitations, and accelerate personal growth far faster than traditional talk therapy.

​

Because horses are prey animals, their survival depends on immediate, honest awareness of their surroundings. They have no agenda and hold no judgment—yet, their trust must be earned. Through real-time somatic mirroring, horses reflect our non-verbal cues, body language, and emotional energy with complete honesty. After each session, clients learn to integrate these profound equine insights directly into their daily personal and professional lives.

why horses? 

finding serenity 

My first encounter with serenity and horses was when I was being certified several years ago.  As I was going through the process one of my coaches mentioned that there was a study done with horses. The study concluded that when horses are in their herd, and the world is perfect, their energy level is measured at serenity. I found this information fascinating. As I continued to work with  rescued horses and people healing together I witnesses this serenity that horses brought to my clients, time and time again. I  realized how significant this was to the healing of both the rescued horses and people that I was working with. When I started my program this image continued to grow in both my mind and heart. My goal for both clients and the horses I work with is for them to find serenity in whatever has happened in their lives that has brought them this place for healing and growth. 

  •  A relationship with horses requires authenticity. In the absence of authenticity, There is only frustration. Frustration leads to exploration and a willingness to look an alternative method of engagement

  • Relationships with horses require your entire presence.

  • The power and size of a horse act as an equalizer and force equal ground approach to a relationship

  • Horses will forgive legitimate mistakes

  • Relationships with horses require mutual trust and respect

  • Relationships with horses permit a safe place to practice and build skills by which human relationships can also be built and sustained
