Equine Alchemy's and MetaSystem Consulting Group's Equine Assisted Coach Training, (EAC), Coaching Skills through Horse Wisdom, Coach Supervision Programs and Attract the Perfect Client Through the Way of the Horse marketing module combine virtual, traditional classroom and experiential learning in Arizona, New York and Florida.
There are many benefits to this program, not the least of which is a focused MASTER MIND support designed so you create strong, vibrant impactful relationships with your colleagues and are both challenged and supported to grow into the type of valuable coach and high-profit service provider you envision yourself. These relationships are KEY to moving out of limiting beliefs or fears and into an expansion of your ideas and structure for the truly, truly great things you are capable of achieving in your life and business.
The EAC program is about creating relationship; with yourself, the horses and your clients. Only then can you begin to connect all of these relationships together to create an unparalleled coaching dynamic! This work is truly cutting edge. It is the ONLY Equine Assisted Coaching Program available that combines:
ICF Coaching - The Platinum standard in coaching globally. As an ICF certified coach, MCC pending, I designed this program specifically to meet these rigorous competencies and standards.
The Epona Approach™ to Experiential Learning - As an Advanced Instructor, I take you through Linda Kohanov's groundbreaking approach.
MetaSystem Consulting Group's Multi-level Systemic Coaching™ - The ONLY coaching model that combines traditional coaching, systems development and intersubjectivity; (the basis of the energy work with the horses) developed and implemented through my 15 years of global corporate consulting and coaching!
Horses! - The consummate teachers of relationship development.
How?
The experience of working with horses requires a relationship with another being. It requires an acute awareness of boundaries-yours and theirs-as well as skill in interpreting body language. Interacting with horses requires obtaining permission to lead and demonstrating a willingness to follow. Such a relationship demands courage as well as vulnerability. Most importantly, the horse requires authentic communication. Twenty minutes in the round pen with a horse will take these powerful, insightful concepts off the page, out of your head, and anchor them into your entire being.
This skill of building relationship is at the heart of coaching!
If you are selected for the program your commitment to showing up mentally, energetically and creatively are your keys to achieving what you want. You must be willing to ask for support, be open to new ways of thinking and welcome the opportunity to be challenged to step out of your comfort zone and into being the LEADER of your company!
Selection is by application and interview only. This is not a "if you can pay, you can play" type of coaching program. We are committed to bringing the perfect blend of candid, creative and courageous potential equine assisted coaches of the future together, (our perfect clients!) for a powerful, provocative, and prosperous experience.

As your coaches, we will maintain a highly confidential environment. However, in the case of a legal request we, and our representatives, cannot hold confidentiality as we do not have a doctor/client privilege. If information you share with us is sufficiently "illegal" or "dangerous-to-oneself-or-others", we will consult an attorney in order to determine whether or not to notify authorities. If information you share with us creates an uncomfortable feeling for us, or steps outside of our ethics and integrity base, we will let you know and may terminate the coaching relationship.
For you and your program colleagues, it is essential to maintain a space of confidentiality and non-disclosure. You must commit to not disclosing any information about any participant in any way outside of the group. You must also commit to not using private or sensitive trade secrets that a participant shares for your own gain. You may connect with an individual directly and obtain permission in writing to determine the "classification or sensitivity" of their ideas and programs for your own usage with their written permission only.
