Brooke is a talented apprentice of the incredible Josh Nichol! She says.... Understanding ourselves, our tendencies and how our energy is being felt allows us to be present with our horses wherever they are and helps us see clearly what they’re trying to communicate.  Mentoring people through this process is Brooke’s passion.  Helping people work through their tendencies and perspectives while creating a new understanding of how to work with our nervous systems is a primary focus.   Helping people understand themselves, their limiting beliefs and the habits that are preventing them from leading the lives they desire has become a passion for Brooke.  “The evolution of developing a deeper awareness in myself, has led me to a deeper sense of purpose when it comes to walking with people on their journey. It was the horses that started the process for me. I needed to know why we have the thoughts we have and develop a set of skills to work through the unhelpful thoughts and feelings we encounter along the way. This desire led me to many different workshops and then finally to life coaching. The skills learned through the life coaching certification process deepened my understanding of why we get stuck along with how to help ourselves through the process of creating new ways of thinking.”
