Services
I offer a variety of services, including Equine Facilitated Wellness clinics and sessions, and therapeutic or relational horsemanship lessons on site at Valour Farm in Cobble Hill. I also travel to your facility within the Cowichan Valley for riding lessons, horsemanship lessons, or support with training. Please see our "Upcoming Events" page for a list of upcoming clinics and workshops. All of my services share a compassionate and trauma-informed approach for both horses and humans.
