The movement I am creating is a ‘WE’ space.  Where all people can come to unleash the power of the ‘WE’ community. A healing environment. To come from a place of response and let go of the reaction.

My people want to make an impact.

I am inviting people who are searching for this.

I am inviting people who are curious.

I want as many people in the conversation as possible.

My avenue to create this world is through Equine Gestalt. Why? Watch this video featuring my mentor, Melisa Pearce, CEO of Touched by a Horse

I remember, at the time, looking around me and seeing that Jake and I were living really cool lives with really cool people, but I didn’t feel cool — I felt insecure and unsure. I remember often pondering what happiness meant. From the outside in we were happy,

but from the inside out, I wasn’t sure I was. I didn’t know what happiness was supposed to look like. I wondered what that moment of finding happiness would feel like — would I know it when I found it? Would it be an email or a letter that announced its arrival? Even then, could I trust it? Or was it a lie? Life had taught me not to trust.

Inside I was also still angry. I had a lot of unfinished business and it chewed at my soul on a regular basis. I knew I had a gift to give the world, and I was driven to share it — and I was also angry I couldn’t figure out how to do it. These wounds bled profusely on both me and those around me.

All this while, horses were coming in and out of my life. Like rainbows with a promise, they colored me with their hopeful radiance. They were a place I could go for freedom. I could tell them stories and they would listen. They loved me unconditionally. Jake understood my need to be with the horses, too. When we settled back in Canada as a home base, he insisted we get horses.

With that move back to a long-term home also came my desire to find a career where I could really improve the lives of others. I still wanted to share my impact with the world, but I still didn’t know how to do that.

I did know that I wanted to do something in the field of psychology and it had to have horses. I looked at a few other programs that fit both of those criteria, but they weren’t quite right for me. A little deeper digging and my path crossed with Melisa Pearce of Touched by a Horse. The moment I saw the Equine Gestalt program, I KNEW intuitively it was for me. It was elite and the most comprehensive in the industry. I was instantly impacted by Melisa, the founder of TBAH, being a core founder of the horse-human healing movement in the 80’s and an accomplished Multi World Champion horsewomen and breeder for over 30 years. I knew this gave her a deep understanding of horses and their nature and as a psychotherapist, coach and teacher for the equal amount of time an understanding of humans and our nature. I wanted more. I knew there were answers here.

Gestalt addresses the whole person — it sees no flaws in your design and holds you capable to solve your problems and reach your goals. It encompasses body, mind, and spirit as a synergistic trilogy. And when you add horses, you level up the entire experience!

At the beginning of my training, I still really didn’t know who I was entirely. (I was so nervous at my first few in person trainings I couldn’t see straight!) But Gestalt has a way of guiding you in the right direction. Slowly but surely, I began to release my unhealthy strategies — the ones that kept me living in doubt, anger, fear, and hesitation. At first, there was so much interference between who I came here to be and my actual experience, it took a while to sort through it all. As I did, Gestalt became a tool for me to use to help myself — and others — to embrace truth and become an open conduit to receiving unconditional love and abundance.

I’ve come to know people show love and protection in different ways and people receive love and protection in different ways. I have immense compassion for where you are coming from.

Gestalt is an empowerment — a superpower — that allows you to live a more free life — freer than you ever knew could exist.

If I could sit with my 16 year old self for a moment, I would show her she is loved from the inside out. I would show her she is worthy and she has everything she needs to get everything she wants in life. Everything beyond your wildest dreams is possible! Love, joy and freedom aren’t just for others they are for you — and they are limitless. I will sit with you and show you the same things about yourself. Join me in the round pen!

Meet the Horses

Meet our Equine Partners at El Rio Ranch AKA The Warriors of our hearts, the keepers of the keys.

There are millions of exchanges between horses and humans that cannot be seen with the human eye.  The eye of the horse can see to places deep  within us, and their hearts can reach places we ourselves do not know how to find. With their touch and presence they can heal us. This is a gift they are willing to share. A move toward wholeness that can drastically improve our lives.  It’s a very powerful understanding that people are not broken, you have everything you need already inside of you, the horses and I guide you to these amazing awarenesses. The healing power of horses is something you really need to experience for yourself. This is where the healing happens. 

You do not need horse experience to benefit from Equine Gestalt. If you do have horses, you may find the Equine Gestalt experience deepens your connection with your horses.

Blessed are those who hear the whispers from a horse’s heart.” — Melisa Pearce

Two Much Wisky Jack aka ‘Wisky”

The words to describe Wisky are sweet and sassy. She has a soft way of taking care of whoever is around her. She would like it to be her idea if at all possible however. Wisky is very aware of her surroundings. She is watching and aware of more. She has a way of bringing you into the exact moment you are in and will stand with you.

“I can see to places deep within you. I see the places that you can’t find or think are gone. They’re not. I see your wholeness. I see your perfect Original Design. Come a little closer.” — Wisky

The horse knows. He knows if you know.  He also knows if you don’t know.”- Ray Hunt
