Meet the Team

A writer, lover, mother, inquirer and connector. I’ve loved horses since I was put on one's back before I could walk by my grandmother.

I see the value of animal communication and how we can learn a lot from them. With over a decade of working with youth in arts programs and the community sector, I meet people where they are at and enjoy in engaging in creative, experiential solutions to life's knotty challenges.

A life long learner, I am currently working towards my psychologist registration, hoping to combine my passion for the arts, mindfulness, meditation, healing powers of the outdoors and animals into a purposeful avenue to connect with people and their mental wellbeing. It is about finding a holistic approach to living our best integrated life.

Claire has been part of the team since 2017. Currently studying a Masters of Social Work (Qualifying), she has previously worked as an equestrian coach and kinesiologist.

Calm, kind, and perceptive, she particularly enjoys working with young people involved in child protection and youth justice services.

Related interests include nature-based wellbeing programs, respect for First Nations wisdom, festival culture, spiritual practice, and an ever-deepening relationship with the natural world.

Having grown up around horses, I've always been fascinated at their abilities to communicate, within and beyond the physical, leaving me with a deeper connection to them and myself

After travelling the world, soul searching and diving into many different spiritual practices, my curiosity only intensified. I was searching for answers, yearning to lead a more authentic, natural life.

It wasn't until I came across the work of Brian Schaefer, his book in particular "The Nature of Life” that everything finally started to click

All my life experience and studies seemed to piece together, highlighting to me the incredible impact horses can have on humans, on so many different healing levels and areas of our lives.

Horses have the ability to show us our authentic self , acting as a mirror to our own energies and vibration. They allow space for us to self reflect and reconnect to our true spiritual nature. Gently giving us the freedom to laugh and cry through personal realisations, however big or small.

I absolutely love learning from horses.

Having the opportunity to share this wisdom and all I have learnt through our workshops, is truly a great honour and blessing

Alane (AJ) knew when she was supporting with horse programs at Okimaw Ohci (Correctional Facility for First Nations Women) and witnessed the women’s profound healing and positive results, that this is what she wanted to bring to others. Horse energy, spirit and natural instincts are so revealing in the human world.

When we observed them in their natural state, we can learn by example how to reconnect with nature and ourselves. With balance and connection we can co-create the world we want to thrive in.

If anyone knew Vinnie, this is his grand daughter. Like him, she is very intuitive and supports where she needs to bringing love and connection to anyone needing it. She is an experienced facilitator and will make you feel at home.

Kid will announce your arrival and then proceed to shower you with love, mostly from his tongue. He makes everyone feel welcome truly loved.
