“The Academy for Coaching With Horses’ EFLC program has been the single most transformative experience of my life, one that has continued well past program completion! I have gained an awareness into the power of the mind-body connection and have learned a variety of tools to use with clients to help them experience deep connection on many levels, all with the goal of creating authenticity of being and life experiences for the client. My EFLC sessions empower potential mothers and mothers to take control of their mental and emotional well-being by partnering with retired broodmares. Stress and anxiety decrease for women experiencing issues around infertility, miscarriage/the loss of a child, childbirth, and postpartum depression and/or anxiety. While working with the broodmares, my clients gain higher levels of emotional and mental well-being to support the transformation and wondrous experience of being a woman.” Johanne Gentlebread, Abiding Sunday, River Falls, Wisconsin

“This program changed the course of my life. As a certified NLP coach with 30 years of corporate background, I already saw the impact coaching can have on one’s life. When I discovered the world of coaching with horses and embarked on Kathy’s journey, I saw this impact multiply. A new world of possibilities opened up for my personal and professional growth.  Today, I am privileged to partner with my horses to help professionals and leaders unleash their natural and authentic leadership and accelerate their growth. A blessing I will be forever grateful for.”  Karine Roy,  Beyondwordz.ca, Montreal, Canada

What this program did for me is almost indescribable. Most importantly, it solidified why and how I want to work with horses and people. This program brought to life the whole picture of emotional intelligence, energy, communication, and healing. With this program, I have finally been able to apply my medical background and focus on trauma-informed care and integrative mental health, with the somatic portion of working with horses. The course was a massive step toward the whole picture of mind, body, and soul work with horses.
I am very grateful for my experience with the Academy for Coaching with Horses. The love, passion, and deep commitment Kathy has put into the program are incredibly powerful, unlike anything I have ever experienced. I am excited to offer this type of coaching to people in San Luis Obispo, CA, to honor horses and help others move forward through challenging life experiences.” Emerald McLeod, www.healingwithhorsesSLO.com, San Luis Obispo, CA USA
