Why horses?

Equus Coaching combines traditional life coaching methods with the intuitive nature of horses. Horses act as incredible mirrors for our inner world, reflecting our fears, our strengths and our impact on others.  Horses have survived for millions of years through their instincts which give them the innate ability to recognize potential danger as well as relate and adapt to their surroundings.  They have the uncanny ability to reflect your presence, without judgment. The information gleaned from being with horses can greatly improve your relationship with yourself and others, help you gain clarity or advance your goals, and enhance your overall sense of well-being.is.

Unbridled Coaching

Explore who you are and how you lead through the nonverbal magic of horses.

What to expect in a session?

We’ll begin your 90 minute session with a conversation to get clear on your intentions and concerns. I’ll then give you an overview of why horses are great at helping us see ourselves, and we’ll talk about safety. After that, you’ll choose your horse and I’ll demo a few exercises you can work on with him or her.

Then, you’ll dive into to the heart of your session: you interacting with your horse.  Much of your time and activity with the horse is conducted in silence, “in wordlessness”.  Periodically, I’ll check in with you to see how things are feeling.  I’ll ask questions and offer observations to explore how you can bring clarity to what feels good and shift what doesn’t.

Finally, I’ll guide you in exploring how the horse is a mirror reflecting patterns in your life and possible ways to create the changes you’re looking for.  You’ll have a bit more time to play with the horse implementing what you discovered. You can close by honoring your horse and we’ll wrap things up. 

No horse experience necessary, you will not be riding. I will guide you through everything to need to know to have a safe and unique experience. 

The Power of Experience

Beth did a fabulous job of balancing the conversation with the experience. I have experience in breathwork and healing but this experience was like no other. The horse’s feedback was immediate. It was as if there was a mirror image of my energy being expressed and translated. I was able to see how my presence/energy could affect the situation and it was both reassuring and at times, a clue for me to dig deeper to find the result I was hoping for. The beauty was when I had to dig deeper, I could shift my presence, which in turn shifted Leia’s, and ultimately created a different result. When I left the session with the horse, Beth was there to help me clarify my thoughts and find closure. I truly felt that my body was vibrating and energized after the work. Thank you Beth and Leia!

Beth has uncovered a niche in the realm of coaching in which her personality and presence really shine. Her relaxed groundedness helped my parents and me get comfortable being in close contact with the horses, something none of us had experienced in a long time. That comfort level soon turned to joy and overall lightness. From that place, Beth’s gentle, intuitive, skilled inquisitiveness allowed us to dive deep into self-reflection as we worked with the horses. What an amazing experience. I look forward to another equine coaching session with Beth, this time with my children.
