What I Offer

Using a holistic approach, I seek to unlock the highest potential of harmonious connection between horse and rider by addressing the unique dynamics of the body, mind and spirit of each pair.

Throughout each clinic, lesson and workshop I listen to the specific needs of each athlete and equine. Emphasizing proper biomechanics, I address cadence, feel and symmetry to establish a clear foundation within the body. Implementing communication and compassion as the building blocks within the mind and spirit between horse and human for a strong foundation.

  • BODY I am a personal trainer for horses and humans, helping them improve their physical fitness, health and performance. I design customized programs that suit their individual needs and goals.

  • MIND I have a strong scientific background, with a BS and MS in Biology, focusing on Mammalogy and Teaching. I use my knowledge of animal behavior, physiology and psychology to understand and communicate with horses and humans.

  • SPIRIT I have a gift for animal communication, which enables me to tune in to the thoughts and feelings of horses and humans. I also practice Body and Breath Work, Reiki, and Shamanic Healing, which help me balance and heal the energy of both species. I help them connect with their inner wisdom, intuition, and purpose. I also guide them to explore their spiritual connection with nature, the universe, and each other.

  • APPROACH I combine all these skills together, using my horsemanship, intuitive abilities and science and teaching degrees, to create a holistic approach for the horse and the human to find harmony. I believe that by working with the body, mind and spirit of the horse and human, we can achieve a deeper connection, a greater understanding, and a more fulfilling relationship. I invite you to join me on this journey of transformation and joy.

Empowering ourselves is the key to true horsemanship. It is not about controlling the horses but about mastering our own thoughts, emotions and behaviors.
