I am convinced that every encounter between horses and humans is unique. Each interaction with the horse opens alternative pathways for new behavioral patterns affecting cognitive, emotional, physical and social well-being.

Since I was young I have been fascinated by horses. I learned horseback riding skills in Europe and Australia – as well as in my country of birth, the U.S.A. During my biology master studies, I engaged in scientific field observation studies of Przewalskii-horses during their reintroduction into the steppes and studied their natural behavior on a one to one basis. This knowledge flows into all my interactions with horses. I treat my therapy horses with respect and species appropriate care in order to ensure that they are content and well-balanced co-therapists.

My additional degree in physiotherapy enables me to connect with human beings. I continued to expand this connection by acquainting myself with the practice of body-based psychotherapy and link it to horses by successfully completing the qualifications for diplomas in equine-assisted therapy and hippotherapy. 

Since I am also an instructor for future equine-assisted therapists and hippotherapists, I regularly attend conferences and engage in advanced training in order to keep up to date with the latest research developments. Naturally I also integrate this knowledge into my practice.

Offering equine-assisted interventions provides an ideal setting for me to share with you a passion for humans and horses. I look forward to helping and supporting you professionally with the aid of equine-assisted therapy and hippotherapy.
