Equus & Life Coaching

When I became a new mom, I wasn’t prepared for how much it would shake me — the exhaustion, the overwhelm, the constant self-doubt, and the grief over who I once was. I felt lost trying to set boundaries, regulate my emotions, and live up to the expectations I had for myself. And I felt shame for not feeling the joy I thought I “should.”

What helped me find my footing again was something I never expected — life coaching with horses, also known as Equus Coaching. In the calming presence of horses and guided by my coach, I found space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with myself. The horses reflected my inner world with honesty and compassion, helping me see what I couldn’t see on my own.

The experience was so transformative that I became an Equus Coach myself. Today, I offer sessions designed for parents who are navigating parenthood on all levels and those who may be feeling stuck and crave grounding, clarity, and reconnection with themselves.

Each 60-minute session takes place outdoors, in nature, on the ground (no riding involved), in a peaceful setting in Moss Beach — just a short, scenic drive from San Francisco.

You don’t need any experience with horses — just the willingness to show up as you are.
