Distinctions + Approach

Why this work matters now

Times are changing. We are needed to become global citizens. We are needed to lead change with vision and inspiration— fueled with love.

Now more than ever we are each called to lead with greater coherence and unity and connection—because our Souls are requiring it.

As we look ahead seven generations into the future, we see that the future is now: how we treat the planet, animals and each other now become the future.

When we are intentional stewards of our lives, living in alignment with what we hold dear, and remembering that our freedom lies in our ability to choose, our passion for life does not dim. We are able to maturely hold both the difficulties and challenges AND the joy and ecstasy of life.

Although it can be arduous to face the hardships occurring during these times, when we do the inner work, we grow our capacity to be with adversity. We learn how to digest and metabolize experiences so we don’t hold onto them too long. This is how new inspiration and insight can emerge! We then become Creatives and Creators of our own Life Story.

What’s ahead for the next adventure in your Life Story?

Who I work with

I work best with individuals:

  • who have a palpable desire and motivation to lead a life of meaning.

  • who desire to or already have a connection with nature, animals and/or creativity.

  • in midlife (though some are younger or older) who are embarking upon or undergoing a transition in life, health, career, or relationships.

  • who have a spiritual orientation, such as a sense or inner knowing that something larger than themselves is at play in the universe.

  • who understand the importance of time for reflection, space, and focus in order to integrate and digest life’s experiences, rather than seek quick fixes or immediate “successes.”

  • who are open to not knowing all of the answers.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No, I work with all gender identities!

    For the women’s workshops, because female health and physiology are at the center of these sessions, these programs are designed for individuals who have or have had ovaries.

  • No, I also coach without horse partners.

    Logistics (in-person vs online), as well as the details of each individual situation, dictate whether horse partners will be involved in the session.

  • No, it is not necessary to be leading a business or organization to work with me. Although many of my clients do.

    Rather, it is a desire to lead a meaningful life in whatever form that takes.

  • Equine assisted-coaching sessions are generally 90 minutes in length.

    Virtual coaching sessions (without equine partners) are generally 60-90 minutes.

  • Yes! If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, or are willing to travel, and you seek a high impact personalized coaching experience:  a 2 ½ day coaching retreat may be a great fit for you.

    Typically, out of town clients will fly into San Francisco (SFO), Oakland (OAK), or Sonoma County/Santa Rosa (STS) airport and arrange transport to drive them to Marin/Sonoma County.

    Local accommodations, generally in bucolic wine country or the gorgeous Sonoma coast, are available upon request.

    Equine partners are an integral part of this experience.
