Equine Facilitated Learning is a burgeoning field. I have acquired an Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning certificate from
PATH International. Through this program, I learned about equine-assisted activities and therapies (EAAT), and was able to put knowledge into practice by volunteering at a nearby PATH certified therapeutic riding center. I was able to observe the healing magic between horse and client. I assisted with a 4 year old client ridden with anxieties. The more that he connected with the horse, the more joy he experienced. He would break into hilarious laughter every time his horse trotted. This was a life-changing moment...which catapulted me into the world of Equine Facilitated Learning.
Currently, I am serving as Equine Specialist in various capacities, partnering with a horse coach and a mental health professional to work with clients. It brings me joy and contentment to see people healed emotionally by the power of a horse.
I am also available to share my expertise by horse-sitting in the Central Oregon area. Please feel free to contact me.
