Welcome to Mindful Horse Handling
My Story
I grew up horse-crazy in Germany, where my deep connection with animals began. After a successful career in advertising, I followed my true passion—becoming the director of a therapeutic riding center and leading it to new heights. Over time, I realized the horses needed an advocate just as much as the riders, which inspired me to shift my focus to supporting therapy horses and their well-being.
As the founder of the Equine Wellness Expo, an equine behavior and communication specialist, and an author, speaker, and podcaster, I’m dedicated to helping humans see the world through the horse’s eyes. My work bridges science, intuition, and mindfulness, ensuring that horses are not just tools for therapy but respected, understood partners in every interaction.
Let's Work Together
On-Site Workshops:
Let’s Work with Your Horses, in Your Space
Some things you have to feel in person.
My on-site workshops bring mindful horse handling directly to your barn, helping your team create deeper, more intentional connections with the horses in your care.
Together, we:
-
Fine-tune handling skills to align with each horse’s needs.
-
Strengthen horse-human communication for trust and clarity.
-
Create a program where both horses and humans feel understood.
Every workshop is customized to your horses, people, and challenges—so the approach works for you and, most importantly, for them.
