Like many horse-obsessed women, I started my horse business to fund (or 'legitimize') my equestrian passions. It wasn't long before I got sick of feeling frustrated about dominance mindsets, students not making progress or SO many horses who never seemed to be sound... and I started asking WHY.

When I stumbled upon Hanna Somatics and learned how to help people AND horses unlock the power of their Central Nervous Systems to self-regulate and self-correct - suddenly I could see the future.

We all have different goals, disciplines, and ways of working with horses, and we should all value that unique journey. Ultimately, we are horsewomen trying to be good stewards and good partners at the same time. We yearn to pursue what we love, love who we are and how we feel, and to make a difference in the lives of horses..

We have sometimes messy lives that include the joy (and pain) of
owning animals that need us to advocate for them. Our schedule can be
unpredictable and so can our emotions at times (ever been called 'horse-crazy'?) and we should never have to apologize for the life we have chosen.

In fact, we need an approach to horses that doesn't ignore our own needs for connection, health and well-being. No more feeling guilty about spreading yourself too thin, or moving a little bit slower in the beginning to build a sustainable approach to horses that completely hinges on the health of YOUR body and mind.

I believe that there is a specific way to start, develop, and grow your relationships with horses that ensures your mindset and physiological state don't end up keeping you from enjoying horses or getting the results you're after (and that most of us chase for a lifetime).

I call it the FEEL-Embodied System and I want it to become your favorite place to get resources, community, and guidance to grow your Feel, your horsemanship and your horse business the Somatic way.
