You’d never know it from my east coast education and my career in auction houses, but I grew up in Oklahoma and spent a lot of time on my grandparent's cattle ranch building relationships with horses. I was always mesmerized by their power and throughout my life continued to find refuge in the ride. It wasn’t until working in Amsterdam as a lonely expat that I took formal riding lessons. I was in a desperate search for something and unsure of my path. With every interaction with the horses, I gained a deeper understanding.
I began booking sessions with an Equus coach when life found me stuck in a major fork in the road. My sessions didn’t provide a blinking arrow telling me which way to go; instead, they revealed how I got there. With each visit, I learned more about myself, my confidence or lack thereof, and all the reasons why my head and heart couldn’t make a decision. Facing my fears in the presence of a 1500 pound animal was more than a symbolic endeavor. It gave me a safe space to test my boundaries in the midst of a powerful protector. With the guidance of my Equus coach, I found the tools to navigate my anxiety, trust myself, guide my life, and find peace in my future.
In 2019, I purchased Butterscotch, my friend and companion for life. I trained at the prestigious Koelle Institute for Equus Coaching™ and became a certified Equus coach soon after. My goal through coaching is to provide life-changing empowerment. I am your coach and the horse is your partner. In this arena, you will learn more about who you are, what you're capable of, and how to fine-tune your energy to match what you want to receive from everyone and everything in your life.
