Just like the age-old saying “two steps forward, one step back”, I recognize that progress isn’t linear. This is true both in our relationship with horses, and in other areas of our life. Often this journey can be frustrating, discouraging, and cause stress. I offer relational and trauma-informed coaching which is judgement-free, and compassionate for horse and human.

​

My background is in dressage, three day eventing, and horsemanship. I have coached all ages from beginner up to competitive levels. I have spent the last 10 years working with people with a wide variety of diverse needs in the world of therapeutic riding, and have a particular affinity for working with anxiety in youth and adults. Having suffered with anxiety and chronic stress myself, I know just how debilitating it can be, and how much it can affect your riding and relationship with horses. However, you don’t have to have a diagnosis to benefit from connecting with horses, and learning to be more present in your own body and life. Whether you have never been around horses, but are curious to learn, or are a seasoned equestrian, looking for a more empathetic and trauma-informed coaching style to help you with your riding, groundwork, or relationship and connection with your horse, contact me to see if we might be a good fit to take two strides forward together.
