Story and Education

As a high schooler, Zoe struggled with anxiety, depression, and felt constant stress; as many teenagers and people do. She knew she couldn't continue living with those feelings and wanted to find a way to heal, find happiness, and a love for life again. Wanting to feel better she went to a traditional therapist for an evaluation session to see if the therapist was a good fit, she discovered quickly that traditional talk therapy was not what she needed. So, she searched for something different and discovered Equine Gestalt Coaching. After one session as a client, life started to look a bit brighter and feel a little less heavy. As she continued sessions she continued to heal, learn, grow, find confidence within herself, and find her love for life again. Things she knew would not have happened without being a client of Equine Gestalt Coaching. Upon graduating high school Zoe was a student at the University of Colorado Denver studying psychology. Even though she loved learning about psychology, she knew that like therapy, this wasn't the right fit for her. Zoe has always had a passion for horses and helping people, she originally thought a psychology degree was the right path to be able to do that until she had a lightbulb moment while sitting in college, "I want to work with horses and I want to help people... I should become an Equine Gestalt Coach!" Since that moment Zoe had been avidly learning and growing in the Touched By a Horse Equine Gestalt Coaching Method program. In July 2021, she graduated and become a Certified Equine Gestaltist™.  Thrilled to continue on this path in her journey to help people live their dream life as she lives hers, Zoe furthered her education and is now a dual-certified Equine Gestaltist and Master Gestaltist™, as well as a Licensed Equine Facilitator®.
