What this is

Not learning to do what the horse does. Learning to read it.

The horse responds to the moment. To body, movement, attention, intention.

Your job is to notice it, stay curious, and leave room for the person in front of you to find their own answer.

That is the whole craft. It takes practice.

How it runs

Everyone starts together.

  • Twelve modules over twelve weeks
  • A lesson drops every Friday
  • One live Q and A with Kim every week
  • Twelve seats, so Kim sees every person
  • Cohort One starts Friday, November 6, 2026
  • Two weeks pause over the holidays, finishing February 5, 2027

No self-paced option. Everyone in the same place at the same time, because the live Q and A is where the learning lands.

The twelve weeks

One module at a time, in the order it has to go.

You cannot hold space for someone else before you can hold it for yourself. So that comes first.

  • 01

    The Call of the Horse

    Why horses. And why you.

  • 02

    The Science of Energy and Emotion

    Heart coherence, and how a horse reads what you feel before you say it.

  • 03

    The Language of Presence

    Body. Movement. Attention. Intention.

  • 04

    Emotional Alchemy

    What comes up, and what to do with it.

  • 05

    The Mindset of Healing

    The stories people carry, and how the horse gets past them.

  • 06

    Heart Intelligence and Intuitive Coaching

    Coaching from the heart, not the head.

  • 07

    Facilitating Breakthroughs

    Holding a session so the breakthrough is theirs.

  • 08

    Energy Hygiene and Boundaries

    What you carry home, and how not to.

  • 09

    Working with Emotional Sensitivity

    Staying steady when something big shows up. Knowing when to refer out.

  • 10

    Gratitude and Vibrational Healing

    The small practices that hold the work together.

  • 11

    Integration

    Twelve weeks into one way of working that is yours.

  • 12

    The Practitioner's Path

    Certification, ethics, and a practice that lasts.

Who this is for

People who already feel the pull.

  • Coaches who want horses in their practice
  • Horse people who keep getting asked to help someone through something
  • Anyone who has had one of these sessions and could not stop thinking about it

You do not need your own horse. You do not need to be an experienced rider. You will not be asked to ride.

Cohort One begins November 6

Twelve seats. One cohort.

Healing Hearts with Horses offers equine-assisted coaching and personal development. Kim supports people through change, loss, overwhelm and the questions that come with them, on the ground, alongside the horses. She is a coach, not a licensed mental-health or medical provider, and this work does not replace care from one.
