My Approach

I won’t simply tell you what to do or train your horse for you.

Instead, I’ll guide you in asking better questions, observing with curiosity, and developing the skills and confidence to understand your horse more deeply. My goal is to help you build a partnership that continues to grow long after our session ends.

Professional Collaboration

Equine-Supported Experiences for Therapists and Their Clients

Looking for a different environment to support your clients?

Whisper With Horses offers private, equine-supported experiences designed to complement your existing therapeutic work. These sessions provide opportunities for reflection, awareness, and experiential learning alongside horses in a safe, grounded, and supportive setting.

Together, we may explore:
Emotional awareness and self-reflection
Nervous system regulation through presence and co-regulation
Communication and relationship dynamics
Boundaries and authentic connection
Confidence, leadership, and self-awareness
Experiential and somatic approaches to personal growth
How We Work Together

These are collaborative experiences. You remain the therapist and guide the clinical process, while I facilitate the equine environment and support meaningful interactions with the horses.

Sessions are private, trauma-aware, and designed to complement—not replace—traditional therapy.

About Me

As a licensed Equine Facilitator™ and Equine Gestalt Coach™, I carry specialized liability insurance and provide structured, ethical equine-supported experiences grounded in presence, awareness, and authentic connection.

Let’s Create Something Meaningful Together

Whether you’re interested in a one-time session, an ongoing collaboration, or a small group workshop, I’d love to explore how horses might support the work you’re already doing.

For Individuals

This time, it gets to be about YOU.

Maybe you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or simply disconnected from yourself.
Maybe you’re at a crossroads and don’t know which way to go.
Or maybe you’re just craving something deeper—something real.

In our one-on-one coaching sessions, we create a space where you can slow down, breathe, and listen to what’s really going on inside.
With the help of my equine partners, we’ll uncover patterns, strengthen your intuition, and move through the blocks that are holding you back.

This isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you remember who you are.

If you’re ready for something different—something honest, heart-led, and healing—I’m here.

Let’s take the first step together.

Couples Connection Night

A Mini Workshop + Meaningful Date Night Experience

Step away from the daily routine and into an evening designed to deepen your connection.

We’ll begin with a relaxed group meet-and-greet and a guided exercise focused on authentic connection. From there, you’ll team up for a unique mini activity. This playful activity reveals how well you truly communicate… and where there’s room to grow.

We’ll end the evening with a peaceful walk, joined by our horses, giving you time to reflect, reconnect, and simply enjoy each other’s presence.

Laugh. Learn. Love.

Let this night be a meaningful pause,

just for the two of you.
