The Equine Gestalt Coaching Method®

The EGCMethod® is a powerful tool that partners with horses to bring clients to a heightened awareness and moves them forward experientially to a fresh place.

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.

Carrie led us in a beautiful, centering mediation. It was a wonderful way to ground and connect with the natural sounds around me at the beginning of a day. Her clear instructions, creation of safe space, and encouraging openness brought the group to a collective place that felt like a much-needed shared exhale.

Carrie did a nice polarity piece for me. She kept me on track while reviewing my internal conflicts. Carrie brings compassion and an open heart to her coaching.

Terry T., Grand Junction, CO

Carrie has a natural way of quickly guiding her client into a deep contact through which to process. Her empathy and intuition honor the client where they are and help move them away from pain.

Shelly N., California

The words to describe the amount of peace Carrie has helped me achieve are hard to come by. She helped me unravel 13 years of guilt and pain. After my work with her, I finally slept without nightmares. She also made sure I was complete and gave me a few extra minutes to make sure I didn’t implode. She has a genuine concern for other people and their wellbeing. She is able to maintain contact and bring me all the way through my pain.”
