Empowering

Change Within

o often the things we want most in life, love, health, success, money can seem
frustratingly out-of-reach like something is blocking their way. There is. It’s
you. Yes, our emotional baggage, deep-seated trauma, self-sabotaging beliefs
S can prevent us from joyfully living the abundant life we deserve, unless we
undertake the work of discovering and then making changes at the deepest level.
As a certified Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) facilitator, I help you harness the intuitive power of
horses to effectively break through those blocks, enhancing your life and your business.
Being prey animals, horses instinctively fear humans, so they require safety and connection
from us to build mutual trust. They are incredibly observant and aware of our energy and have this
amazing ability to just hold space for us, allowing us to just “be” with no expectation or judgement.
This enables these equine teachers to respond instantly to your emotions and behaviours,
illuminating your strengths and the underlying hot-button issues undermining your progress.
My insightful workshops push you gently out of your comfort zone, accelerating your
path to self-discovery. Working through specific, strategic tasks with your horse who has
a primary need for safety, fair leadership, and clear intention, you will build confidence
and self-esteem as you subsequently create more effective relationships, improve
communication, build leadership skills, learn to set boundaries, and trust your
instincts.
I grew up a shy, quiet, girl infatuated with all things horses. My dad bought me a
little black mare one summer and changed my life forever. Exploring the backwoods
together, we created a deep bond as I developed my independence, resilience, and
resourcefulness through our shared adventures. She accepted me for me, depended
upon my guidance, helping me blossom into the empathic, fearless leader I would
eventually become.
Years later, my teenaged daughter was spiraling downwards, the victim of bullying
by her sports teammates. Once again, a horse saved the day. It was love at first
sight! Shatir chose not to react to her intense feelings but stood there instead,
clearly absorbing her sadness and anger. Today, my daughter is confident, able
to establish healthy boundaries and Shatir became a horse teacher. It was
predestined that I would ultimately use “horse” power to help people rediscover
their own.
There’s no horseback riding in EAL. Our four-legged teachers have an
uncanny ability to sense what you need to know about yourself. If a being
as incredible as a horse can trust you, accept you unconditionally, how
better to learn how to trust and accept yourself. At Centaur Wellness,
we empower you to fulfill your true potential through the spirit-healing
synergy of horse and human.
