Kathy is an Equine Experiential Learning Facilitator, Transformational Life Coach, Reiki Practitioner, and writer. Her involvement with horses started as a teenager but did not really manifest itself fully later in life when she and her husband bought a farm. Her love of learning brought her down a path of becoming a student of riding, horsemanship, and stable management. She was particularly draw
n to dressage where she studied and competed for a time. Competition though was really not for her, it was the art of riding and the horse connection that she loved. As life challenges presented, a cancer diagnosis, the death of her mother, and her youngest son struggling with addiction, Kathy found herself simply going to the horses. Sitting on a rock, the horses would come and hold space. It was her therapy. She knew there was something profound about this. What was this feeling, this felt sense, this connection? Her curiosity and intuition lead her to a stable practicing equine assisted learning with children at risk. She became witness to a profound interaction with a beautiful elder mare and a young man. It became a sudden knowing or intuition that this was what she was supposed to be doing. She knew what it was. She knew what she needed to do. She quit her corporate job researched programs and became a student. She picked a program based on its attunement to mammalian emotions, science and spiritual influences on this profound connection. It is all about energy. She launched her practice in 2022. Kathy combines this work with other energy based modalities like Reiki, sound bathing, forest bathing, and yoga all done in partnership of horses and nature. She is also currently working on a book about a “Mothers Journey Through Adoption Addiction Finding Healing and Purpose through horses.”
Kathy resides with her Husband Jeff, 9 horses, and 2 dogs on her farm just south of Ottawa, Canada.
