My Journey with Horses
Finding Calm and Presence
In 2005, I took my first step into the round pen with a horse as my teacher, and it was a life-changing experience. At that moment, I discovered a profound sense of calmness that had eluded me for years. The external noise and distractions faded away, and I found myself fully present in the moment, free from worries about the past or the future. I felt truly seen and heard, just as I was.

Overcoming Overwhelm and Drained Energy
Before my encounter with horses, I had been feeling emotionally and energetically drained. Balancing two businesses and raising two daughters with different needs had taken its toll on me. On top of that, I was also caring for ill, aging parents. I was overwhelmed, to say the least.
​
Learning to Respond and Regulate Energy
Did the horses fix me? No, because I wasn't broken. However, they did teach me valuable lessons. Through my interactions with the horses, I learned to respond rather than react. They showed me how to lean into situations, regulate my energy, and become more aware of my own feelings. I discovered that emotions are a source of information and inspiration. They matter, and I needed to care for myself. I realized that I couldn't pour from an empty cup.

Becoming a Facilitator and Growing Through Change
The horses became an integral part of my personal growth and ability to manage change. In 2019, I became a FEEL - Equine Experiential Learning Facilitator. Through this training, I have acquired strategies to navigate the ups and downs of everyday life. I have gained tools and knowledge that help me ground and center myself in an unpredictable world.

Dancing in the Rain and Embracing the Journey
Life is full of storms, but through my experiences with horses, I have learned how to dance in the rain. Sometimes, in connection with a horse, you may have a profound "aha" moment where you can surrender and let go of something that's been holding you back. Other times, you may simply experience comforting companionship, where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment or expectation.

Rediscovering Your Inner Beauty and Restoring Balance
Together with my herd, my goal is to create a safe and brave space for you to rediscover your inner beauty, restore balance, and reconnect with the magical and mystical essence of yourself. The answers you seek come from within, and taking time for self-care is not selfish but essential. Join us on this transformative journey, where you can find solace, guidance, and empowerment in the presence of majestic horses.
