As a Certified Coach through Equestrian Canada, I create a fun and safe learning atmosphere through a positive and non-judgmental coaching style. My focus is on the best interests of both the horse and rider, aiming to foster confidence and self-awareness while enhancing technical riding and horsemanship skills. I am a life-long learner and am always striving towards expanding my knowledge so that I can provide the best possible service to my students. My professional development has come to include yoga teacher training, equine facilitated wellness and Franklin ball certification, and most recently a life and wellness coach certificate. I am continuously reading books, watching training videos, or listening to podcasts so that I can be confident that I am up-to-date on the most recent information on all things horses.

​

Over the years, my teaching and coaching philosophy has evolved towards a more holistic understanding of the horse's role. I emphasize how our thoughts and actions are perceived by horses, influencing their behaviors, and how this insight can shape our practices and impact performance. I strive to help my students, alongside their horses, to develop an awareness of the horse-human connection, working together to cultivate a lasting partnership.
