What professionals are saying…
It has been a great personal and professional satisfaction to have shared with Diana part of her equine therapy journey. Her skills and sensitivity as a psychotherapist, are constantly in evidence in all of her equine-therapy or equine-growth and learning activities/. Whether the group is intended as a growth experience for the participants or more specifically targeted to clients with mental health, addictions or sexual abuse problems her interventions are helpful and effective. Add to that her knowledge and understanding of her amazing horses. The gentleness and vitality of her herd makes them ideally suited fo equine therapy activities.

I am happy to say I have participated in the women and couple’s Equine Therapy groups with Diana and her leadership team. It was enriching and created many positive memories. I witnessed how developing a relationship with a horse can build trust when it is often difficult to do so with people. I highly endorse this experience for others.
