One on One Coaching
The Heart of HOPE is Equine Assisted Coaching. Experience the healing power of horses amid fresh air and the quiet of the country just north of Rochester. In these 90 minute sessions you can explore any area of your life you feel could benefit from some extra guidance. The horses and I hold open, loving, non-judgmental space that allows you to dig deep into your personal truth and authentic vulnerability. Equine Assisted Coaching is a truly transformational process that allows clients the greatest gift we can offer ourselves – the gift of letting go. No horse experience necessary.
