The Equine Gestalt Coaching Method®
With the EGCMethod, teens and adults have the opportunity to unplug, become grounded with these magnificent animals and link to nature and relationships again, sparking the essence for true connection and self love. It is in this space that individuals can clearly see their lives and choices made with new attunement for designing a hopeful future.
