World-class coachingEquss Coaching
Do you feel disconnected or lost in your life or work? Do you struggle with uncertainty in our current social, political, and or economic environment? Or, do you work with people to help them navigate the chaos of change?
Equus Coaching is a dynamic approach to personal transformation that combines world-class life coaching with the timeless wisdom of horses. As a highly trained facilitator, it is my hope to guide you through an immersive experience with horses, revealing deeply ingrained energetic and behavioral patterns that we may not even be aware of. This profound and playful process will help identify limiting beliefs and blocks, and experience what it takes to move beyond them. The results are deeply embodied shifts in self-awareness that lead to greater clarity, authenticity, connection, creativity, and personal freedom.
We will reconnect with the deep wisdom inherent in nature. You will experience how working with horses can help you live from a place of peace.
Why Horses?
*Horses don’t struggle with doubt, fear, or the critical inner voice we struggle with as humans.
*They know how to be at home in themselves and live in harmony with a herd.
*Their size makes it very apparent what we are unconsciously communicating through their active mirroring of our energetic and behavioral patterns.

Jeffrey Simon2024-10-05Had a wonderful morning riding the trails accessed from the ranch. Beautiful part of the county and a true delight to ride through the SDTC facility. Next time….longer ride, today was a shorter ride, by our choice, due to the heat wave in the San Diego’s east county. Still, was perfect and highly recommend.Shaakirah Ransom2024-08-20We had an amazing experience celebrating my daughter's birthday with a horseback riding adventure! Our guide was incredibly nice, patient, and informative. She took the time to explain everything and was so gentle with my daughters, making them feel comfortable and confident.
