Do you want to learn how to leverage human motivation to enhance your equine assisted programming or therapy services? I teach equine assisted service professionals how to tap into the core drives of human motivation to design highly engaging equine assisted services. My trainings will show you how to use motivation science to help your participants gain autonomy, mastery and purpose during equine activities, leading to amazing progress. You'll be able to provide more meaningful experiences for volunteers, staff and even your BOD while growing your expertise in this meaningful work.


Once you know the Foundations- you need OT specific support!

Don't wait to get the support you need to get your specialty career started. Making the transition from learning about animals & aquatics to advertising your OT services, finding clients, marketing your niche, supporting fieldwork students and creating systems that support your practice when incorporating animals or aquatics can be a frustrating and long process. It doesn't have to be: from 1:1 career coaching to a year long professional fellowship or fieldwork educator mentoring- you can get your OT support here.
