Coaching That Connects: Nature, Horses, and Healing

Connecting with Horses and Nature

When people ask me what kind of coaching I offer, I often start by sharing that my work is rooted in the Equine Gestalt Coaching Method®. But it doesn’t stop there. My practice blends this powerful, experiential method with other intuitive and therapeutic tools—all designed to support deeper self-awareness, emotional clarity, and personal growth. I believe that everyone is inherently whole. My job isn’t to “fix” you. You aren't broken. My job is to help you reconnect with that wholeness, to rediscover the strength, wisdom, and trust already within you. This is Coaching that connects.

What makes this work so unique isn’t just the horses or the method—it’s also the land.

At Rock Creek ReTreet Center, nature plays an integral role in the process. There's a trail here that winds through what feels like an enchanted woods. It's quiet and grounding, with space to breathe and notice the subtle shift that happens when we step away from the chaos and into the calm. At the end of that trail stands a magnificent tree—tall, wise, and welcoming. That tree inspired the name of this place. It's more than just scenery. It's a space where many choose to pause, reflect, meditate, or pray.

In coaching sessions, I don't bring a script or a checklist. I don’t have an agenda. You lead the way. My role is to hold space — safe, nonjudgmental, and steady — while you explore the emotions, questions, or stories that brought you here. Whether you're working through grief, transition, self-doubt, or simply seeking clarity, you set the tone and pace.

Like the horses I partner with, I know trust isn't automatic. It’s something we build together, gently, over time. It’s earned. And I’m honored each time someone chooses to begin that process with me.

Sometimes, when breakthroughs happen, they’re loud and life-changing, marked by tears, deep releases, or powerful realizations. And other times, they arrive in the stillness. In the quiet moments spent beside a horse, not saying a word. Just being. No pressure to dig into the hard stuff. No need to explain. Just presence. And often, that quiet presence is where something begins to shift.

If you're curious, drawn to the quiet woods, or ready to explore what finding wholeness and self-trust can look like in a space like this, I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to go it alone.
