My journey began when I was 8 years old with my little black Shetland pony named Shelley. From there I spent my life living and breathing horses.

​

I have been an Equestrian Canada certified English Competition Riding Coach since 2005 and have most certainly been privileged to have mentored under the best of the best. From these wonderful women I was able to develop my teaching skills in such a way that made my teaching safe, knowledgeable, and fun.

 

In 2012 I began my Professional Association for Equine Facilitated Wellness (Pro-EFW) training under the guidance of Deborah Marshall and Susan Cressy. It was these women who helped me make the connection between the riding coach I had wanted to be and the coach I could become. In the Fall of 2020 I officially became a certified Pro-EFW Equine Professional.

 

In 2015 I became an Equestrian Canada certified Western Riding Instructor with help from Nonie Smart at Skyline Farm in Dunrobin, Ontario.

 

In 2016 I completed a YT200 Yoga Teacher training, which allows me to intertwine my love of yoga with my love of horses.

​

In 2022 I became Franklin Method® Equestrian Ball Certified and have witnessed amazing results from using these fascia balls with my riding students.

​

In 2023 I completed my Life and Wellness Coach training through Coach Academy Canada, an ICF accredited program. I now integrate my new life coaching skill set into a somatic-based and equestrian supported approach.
