Debra has been training horses and instructing for over 25 years. Her passion for horses, understanding of herd behavior and their movement led her to apply the knowledge gained from the horses to help people. Deb was certified as a PATH riding instructor in 2005 and began to teach centered riding skills to children and adults with special needs.

Andrea's background and formal education are in Exercise Physiology. For a large part of her career she worked as a licensed Athletic Trainer providing sports medicine support for middle school through professional level athletes. Assisting others with their physical health is an important gift she has always wanted to share. After years of working her body physically, she spent a semester in college working with a yoga instructor from India that introduced her to the idea that the mind and spirit, not the body alone, are critical components in our overall wellness. Andrea's love of animals has been part of her essence since childhood. Her passion for horses evolved a bit later. After suffering many personal traumas she was introduced to the healing power of horses. Their sensitivity and knowing were the balm for her emotional wounds that will be a part of her forever. Incorporating yoga, reiki and mindfulness practices in her holistic health journey, Andrea noticed how the shift in herself began to reflect not only during her time in the saddle, but any time overall that was spent with her horses. As a Yoga Instructor, Reiki Master and Meditation Teacher, Andrea is able to work with you utilizing these tools to support your purpose and presence in life along your wellness journey. Our mind, body and spirit need to be tended to as a whole in order for us to live a life that encompasses our joy and passions!
