Dr. Koehler provides natural therapeutic horsemanship sessions through groundwork with miniature horses:

What is Natural Therapeutic Horsemanship?

Therapeutic Horsemanship uses:

--- The equine/human relationship to teach empowerment, resilience, and balance responsibility/freedom

--- Principles of the herd to show how we operate in relationships (helpful and not so helpful patterns)

--- Breathwork to move through intense emotions such as anxiety, frustration, and disappointment

--- Horses healing energy to soothe our nervous system and return to a state of calm

Dr. Koehler has studied different natural horsemanship approaches to create her own application for therapeutic work. In addition to therapy sessions, Dr. Koehler provides faith-based mentorship for children and pre-teens who may benefit from coaching and guidance in a fun, outdoor setting, loving on our adorable miniature horses!

You’d never know it from my east coast education and my career in auction houses, but I grew up in Oklahoma and spent a lot of time on my grandparent's cattle ranch building relationships with horses. I was always mesmerized by their power and throughout my life continued to find refuge in the ride. It wasn’t until working in Amsterdam as a lonely expat that I took formal riding lessons. I was in a desperate search for something and unsure of my path. With every interaction with the horses, I gained a deeper understanding.

I began booking sessions with an Equus coach when life found me stuck in a major fork in the road. My sessions didn’t provide a blinking arrow telling me which way to go; instead, they revealed how I got there. With each visit, I learned more about myself, my confidence or lack thereof, and all the reasons why my head and heart couldn’t make a decision. Facing my fears in the presence of a 1500 pound animal was more than a symbolic endeavor. It gave me a safe space to test my boundaries in the midst of a powerful protector. With the guidance of my Equus coach, I found the tools to navigate my anxiety, trust myself, guide my life, and find peace in my future.

In 2019, I purchased Butterscotch, my friend and companion for life. I trained at the prestigious Koelle Institute for Equus Coaching™ and became a certified Equus coach soon after. My goal through coaching is to provide life-changing empowerment.

At EquiHope, I am your coach, and the horse is your partner. In this arena, you will learn more about who you are, what you're capable of, and how to fine-tune your energy to match what you want to receive from everyone and everything in your life.
