Hello, my name is Debi, and I am the founder and visionary behind Equine LEAD. Horses have been an integral part of my life, serving as my teachers, healers, and companions. From a young age, I received formal riding instruction in both Western and English disciplines, which has allowed me to develop a well-rounded lesson program for riders at Equine LEAD.
Academically, I hold an A.A.S. degree in Equine Management and a B.A. in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Equine Assisted Mental Health. My passion for both fields led me to Eponaquest, an internationally renowned training program for Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning. As an Eponaquest Instructor, I create transformative experiences that promote personal growth, leadership, mindfulness, and deeper connections with both others and oneself.
In 2024, I expanded my practice by becoming a certified Professional Life Coach, offering both virtual and in-person coaching sessions, which can also be paired with equine experiences for an even more profound and enriching journey of self-awareness and growth. My passion of learning, teaching, and healing has also led me to become a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner.
In addition to my work at Equine LEAD, I am a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and Professional Development Coach at Meraki Health. Equine LEAD partners with Meraki Health to offer equine-assisted therapy for youth in their Limitless Program.
No matter where life takes me, one truth remains constant: my passion for horses and the joy of sharing their healing power with others.
