Our Ethos

The Enchanted Way

At Enchanted Equine we believe in the profound, soulful connection between horses and humans. Guided by empathy, respect, and the quiet magic of nature, we create a space where healing is intuitive, growth is gentle, and transformation happens organically — one breath, one heartbeat, one hoofbeat at a time.


Our horses are not tools but partners — wise, intuitive beings who offer presence, reflection, and unconditional acceptance. We honor their unique energy and allow them to guide each session, helping individuals reconnect with their inner strength, soothe emotional wounds, and awaken to their truest selves.

Why Horses?

Horses are highly intuitive beings who mirror our emotions and help us access the present moment with profound honesty. Through unmounted connection practices, you’ll be invited to slow down, feel deeply, and build trust—not just with the horse, but with yourself.

What You’ll Experience

  • Guided Equine Connection Sessions
    Experience the gentle, healing presence of horses through mindful groundwork, liberty work, and intuitive exercises designed to foster trust, communication, and self-awareness.
  • Restorative Yoga
    Each session includes breath-led movement and stillness practices that help ground your energy, release tension, and open your heart—accessible to all levels.
  • Sound Healing Journeys
    Let the soothing vibrations of crystal bowls, chimes, and nature sounds wash over you, helping you release, reset, and realign on a deep energetic level.
  • Nature & Reflection Time
    Step away from the noise and allow nature to hold you. Guided meditations, journaling prompts, and spacious downtime give you the opportunity to listen within.

About the Founder

Once Upon a Time

 My story begins on my aunt’s horse farm, a place where childhood felt like stepping into a living fairytale. This is where I first learned that horses spoke in a language felt rather than heard. Those early days planted the seeds for a lifelong enchantment… one that waited patiently for me to return. 


  Life carried me into the worlds of luxury hotels and resorts, wellness tourism, retreats, and holistic healing, where I spent years curating transformative journeys to far-off places. Yet the magic of horses never left—it quietly shimmered beneath the surface, waiting for the perfect moment to return. 


 That moment arrived unexpectedly. While volunteering at Equi-librium, a PATH-accredited therapeutic riding program, I witnessed the quiet alchemy of equine-assisted healing—how a single breath beside a horse could soften walls built over decades. Later, during the heartbreak of losing my beloved Newfoundland to leukemia, it was my own horses—Scout, my Spotted Saddle Horse, and Bo, my Tennessee Walking Horse—who carried me through grief with unwavering presence. They became my teachers, my comfort, and the clearest mirrors of my own heart. 


 

After the world reopened following Covid in 2020, it became clear that all the threads of my life—global wellness, ancient healing traditions, luxury travel, sound therapy, yoga, and equine wisdom—were meant to weave together. What began as local offerings evolved into retreat collaborations and ultimately into Mindful Healing With Horses, my signature blend of enchanted equine connection and holistic wellness.
