The core of the work done here is allowing you to access in real time, instinctual solutions for what ails you. This is done by employing specific activities that all but require the client to become present with their emotional reality. The horse only responds favorably to self-awareness and honesty. When this is achieved, the honesty, vulnerability, and awareness are reinforced via undoubted connection with the horse. Often, this leads to feelings of contentment, confidence, and awareness. These are then applied to both intra and inter-personal relationships when not with the horse.
I specialize in authentic equine therapy. The ultimate goal is to help provide you the ability to access and apply your instinct and intuition to each day. This is achieved by learning in real time how to access your innate power and wisdom. This can be obtained by anyone who is willing to confront dysfunctional thought patterns and narratives.
Success has been seen with children presenting with ADHD, and teens or adults with addiction, self harm behaviors, trauma, low self-esteem, and “failure to launch” issues.

I've worked alongside David in retreats and group therapy sessions at Heart of the Horse Ranch, which he owns. I've witnessed his compassion, integrity, and deep understanding of horses and the healing power of equine therapy. I highly recommend him.
