“I’m so looking forward to sharing my unique mix of skills and experience with you”
I’m an experienced Personal Development Coach, with a range of qualifications, including life coaching and mentoring, as well as some more spiritual ones. I’m a top level specialist Riding Coach too – and one of just a handful of people in the UK to combine this with the Epona qualification.
I’ve loved, ridden and worked with horses all my life. Over the years I’ve explored many natural horsemanship approaches, which I’ve incorporated into my personal development coaching as well.
I draw on all these to help you take your life to a new level of achievement and fulfillment.
My Mission
The Epona Approach is such an incredible way to experience personal and spiritual development.
I just love to share my knowledge and skills and to help you access the very special wisdom which comes from learning with horses.
I believe you already have within you the knowledge you seek, everyone does. It’s simply a case of learning to uncover it and connect with it to transform your life – and it’s wonderful to have the opportunity to help you do just that.

My personal journey with Epona
A serious fall from my horse in 2008 started my personal journey with Epona. It helped me to recognise that, despite all my success and experience, I had some fears around certain difficult and especially challenging horses – which I’d originally specialised in…
Once I started working with the Epona ApproachTM I could see immediately the huge potential for this approach outside the specialist riding context – to enable everyone to experience the astonishing benefits of learning with horses.
As a result of my personal experiences I travelled to Arizona to train in Equine Facilitated Learning, so I could help others in the same way. I qualified as an Epona Approved Instructor in March 2010.
I now fully integrate the Epona ApproachTM into all my coaching as well as into my own life.
Intuitive Riding Coaching
My workshops, training and coaching are for all riders with a particular interest in developing their relationships with their horses to a different level – or in overcoming problems.
I’m one of only a very few specialist riding coaches with the Epona qualification as well.
I draw on my own experiences to help you too.
If you’ve lost confidence after a fall, don’t worry, I know exactly how that feels…

Meet our Team – the Horses…
Here’s your chance to meet some of the horses who play such an important role!
 Jack is 11 years and 16hh. He's a Dutch Warmblood and has successfully competed at both dressage and show jumping. He has been with Rosie for 4 years. |
 Bramble is 13 years and 13.2hh. She is Welsh, was originally a rescue pony, has had 2 foals - and has lived with Rosie for 2 years. (Alfie the terrier is 18 months and never far away!) |
All the horses have their own personalities and each has so much to teach you about yourself.
One horse may teach you about the personal space you require to focus and thrive and may be particularly good at helping you set boundaries.
Another may teach you how to recognise your natural talents - perhaps your sensitivity or even your skills of calm leadership. Whatever the learning the horses will teach you skills that enhance your communication and relationships.
One of the most inspiring aspects of these workshops is the way that your journey unfolds throughout the days and how the horses offer you the learning that is most relevant to you at that time.
