My Roots

I was born and raised in agriculture, where hard work, responsibility, and caring for what depends on you are simply part of everyday life.

Growing up on the prairies taught me the value of resilience, community, and showing up through every season. It also gave me a deep appreciation for the people who make rural life possible — the farmers, ranchers, families, and communities who quietly carry more than most people realize.

For many years, I followed the path I believed was expected of me. Yet beneath the routines of daily life, there was a quiet knowing that something more was calling. I found myself drawn to people, to understanding their stories, and to supporting them through life’s challenges and transitions.

That calling became impossible to ignore when I witnessed the profound impact horses can have on healing, awareness, and connection. Time and again, I saw how their honest presence helped people slow down, reconnect with themselves, and discover what was ready to be seen.

What began as curiosity gradually became purpose.

My Why

Like many rural families, we have experienced seasons that tested us.

I have seen firsthand how stress, uncertainty, grief, and responsibility can quietly take their toll. I have watched capable, hardworking people carry so much for everyone around them while their own needs quietly move to the bottom of the list.

Yet I have also witnessed incredible resilience.

I have seen what becomes possible when someone feels truly seen, supported, and given space to pause. Often, change begins when we create space to listen to what has been asking for our attention all along.

Those experiences strengthened my belief that people deserve a place where they can step away from the demands of everyday life and reconnect with themselves without judgment, pressure, or expectation. Creating that space has become one of the most meaningful parts of my work.

My Vision

At it’s heart, my vision is simple.

I want to create a space where people can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may have been quietly waiting for attention.

A space where awareness can replace pressure.

Where connection can replace isolation.

Where healing, clarity, and growth can unfold in their own time.

Together with my horses, I offer experiences that invite you to explore life’s challenges with curiosity, compassion, and honesty. Whether you’re navigating change, grief, uncertainty, relationship challenges, or simply feeling called toward something more, you don’t have to walk that path alone.

I invite you to come exactly as you are and begin cultivating your new beginning.

How the Horses Are Part of the Process

Many people wonder what it means to work with horses in a coaching session.

The horses are not ridden, and no horse experience is needed.

Instead, they become partners in the process.

Horses live fully in the present moment. They respond honestly to what is happening around them and often notice things we have learned to overlook. Through observation, interaction, and guided experiences, they can help bring greater awareness to patterns, emotions, and possibilities that may be ready for attention.

Every session is unique.

Sometimes the work brings clarity.

Sometimes it creates space for healing.

Sometimes it simply offers an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and listen to what is asking for attention beneath the noise of everyday life.

The horses are not there to judge, diagnose, or fix.

They simply meet you exactly where you are.

My work is grounded in the Equine Gestalt Coaching Method®, a professional coaching approach developed by Melisa Pearce that combines experiential learning, awareness, and the wisdom of horses to support personal growth and healing.

I am a Master Certified Equine Gestalt Coach® and remain committed to ongoing learning and professional development so I can continue offering a safe, meaningful, and supportive experience for those I serve.
