Equine Alchemy | Transformational Coaching & Leadership Development
The experience of working with horses requires a relationship with another being and an acute awareness of boundaries-yours and theirs-as well as skill in interpreting the language of emotions.
Equine Alchemy does the same but the riches derived from working with horses is full of emotional enrichment and lessons learned about self…proving to be much more valuable than gold.
Lisa is an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and leads our comprehensive ICF Certification Program.
My path to Equine Alchemy began with modeling at 19, then evolved through 26 years as a global organizational development consultant and adult learning specialist. I worked with Fortune 500 companies including Amazon, Coca-Cola, Pfizer, and London Business School, bringing expertise in organizational systems, leadership development, and transformational change.
Everything shifted when I met Dan—my first horse teacher. In the round pen, I discovered what decades of corporate consulting hadn’t taught me: horses respond only to authentic presence. You can’t fake congruence with a horse. They mirror back exactly who you’re being, not who you’re trying to be.
That realization led me to create a methodology that brings Fortune 500 rigor together with equine wisdom. With a BA in Psychology from NYU and advanced studies in Organization Development from Columbia University, I spent 20 years developing ICF-accredited programs that integrate horses throughout—not as metaphor or add-on, but as core teachers of presence, boundaries, and authentic power. I’ve now graduated 75-100 coaches through this work.
I operate from Tucson, Arizona (October-May) and travel to partner ranches in New York, New Mexico, and Georgia during summer months, always seeking spaces where transformation can unfold naturally.
Our mission at Equine Alchemy is to raise the level of consciousness in the world through life coaching with horses. Through our programming with and without horses, Coaching Skills through Horse Wisdom aims to inspire and empower people to find fulfillment in their life because we believe that EVERYONE deserves to experience the flexibility, freedom, and joy that come from living and loving the life and work they are meant to do.
Equine Alchemy strives to hold the space to develop awareness and deliver the skills needed to manifest this life and work for our students
