Linda's Story
“My story of how I came to this work evolved from life experiences that guided me to learning more about horses and plant medicine all while continuing to improve my craft as a pianist and music professor. Training as a classical pianist led me towards discovery, discipline, and a greater understanding of non-verbal communication with others.
​
As a child I was obsessed with the beauty, power, and spirit of horses. Engaging with horses and donkeys led to a lifelong relationship with the equine world. My equestrian experiences include years of hunter/jumper riding and playing polo. Everything changed once I purchased my first horse and as they say, 'the rest is history'. My mare challenged every paradigm I thought I knew about horses. She showed me how our relationship had to come first and could not be ignored. She challenged me to look deep inside myself to redirect my life and continues to hold me accountable to be my most genuine self. It is through her guidance and intuition I have been able to heal from many past traumas and live a more meaningful life filled with authenticity and integrity.
