MY STORY

Hi, I'm Kelly!

Certified Equine Gestaltist, Horsewoman, Herbalist, Horticulturist, and Tender of the Wild .

​

Always a nature lover, I find myself most at home in the presence of the wild things: animals, plants, water and forests. These are the places I sought comfort as a child and continue to do so to this day. In fact, I've made many of the most important decisions of my life in the presence of something wild. Most often...a Horse.

​

My relationship with horses started at a young age. As a kid, I would sneak into a farmers field and watch his horses graze for hours. Through middle and high school I was a trail guide for a local riding ranch. In  my early 20's I finally found my own horse, cherished friend and confidant, VisionQuest. 

​

That sweet horse taught me countless life lessons. In his presence I was able to quiet the chatter in my head, tap into my creativity and find inspiration in the simplicity of life.

 

Time spent with my horse allowed me to explore the deepest parts of myself and live entirely in the moment. Most importantly, Quest taught me how to love with my whole heart, trust my intuition and how to gracefully let go. 

​

Later in life, I found myself caught up in the HUSTLE. Trying to "prove it" all time. Drive, ambition and an unwavering work ethic took me on a white knuckle ride. My body ached, my health deteriorated and I wondered if I had I lost my way.

​​

During this time, I also found that I couldn't truly relax, EVER. I was extremely hyper vigilant in all areas of my life. My past haunting my subconscious and not allowing me to ever truly touch down. The belief that a "body in motion" could dictate my worth or keep me safe was exhausting. My nervous system was in fight or flight ALL THE TIME! 

​

The only thing that ever slowed me down or allowed me to take a breath was my time spent with my horses or when I tuned in to nature as my guide.

 

I realized that horses reset my nervous system and gave me a true sense of calm. This allowed me to become connected to a force so much more potent than anything else, Peace. 

 

This sense of peacefulness begged the question, How could I help connect people to the magic of the natural world and How could I shine a light on the healing capacity of horses? 

​

Luckily, I found my answer through the guidance of Equine Gestalt. The perspective I gained from that experience helped me answer my questions, renew my spirit and gave me the inspiration to help others achieve that same clarity. ​

​

My goal is to give clients the opportunity to slow down and ground themselves in the natural beauty around them. To re-connect with a true sense of self, a value based life and a full heart.  Allowing the horses and I to guide them through a transformative Equine Gestalt  experience as well as, introducing them to the healing powers of nature. Opening their hearts, soothing their mind and awakening their spirit. 

​

I believe that it's never too late to find yourself. To truly know yourself and to flourish. My hope is that it will be through the eyes of a horse and in the presence of natures wild beauty.
