Are You A Licensed Mental Health Provider?
No.
At EquineFlow we are coaches, not counselors or psychotherapists. We are not licensed mental health providers and do not present ourselves as such. The EquineFlow model is neither intended, nor suitable as a model for providing mental health assessments, screening, diagnostics, or treatment, and these elements are not part of the EquineFlow training scope for Certified EquineFlow Practitioners. |
Where Are The Live Classes?Live classes take place in Greenville, SC, US. We are actively expanding and are looking for training locations on the West-Coast, and in Europe.
Greenville, SC is a lovely city near an abundance of state parks with waterfalls, blue ridge mountains and deep blue lakes. WolfOak is located 20 minutes from GSP airport that has reliable connections to most large cities. High quality lodging is readily available with Airbnb's and many hotels. |
What Are Your Credentials?
At this time EquineFlow is not licensed or accredited by any third party. Equine Assisted Coaching is a new field in a niche market, and there are no current organizations that offer credentialing for our work. When we launched EquineFlow 10 years ago, there were no coaching training programs in this space. Now there are more, but a formal definition and protocol for Equine Assisted Coaching is still lacking.
In addition, most credentialing organizations in the coaching space, such as ICF, charge thousands of dollars annually to keep up the credentials, and we noticed that our clients never asked if we were certified with them. We evaluated this path, weighed the pros and cons, and decided that for now, we are holding off until there is a license / credential that truly matches what we do. We are investing the money that we would have been charged for credentialing, back in the company to make what we do better for you, for the horses and for the world at large. As a Certified EquineFlow Practitioner you can pursue ICF credentialing yourself, as well as become a Board Certified Coach. |
How Much Does it Cost?
We work hard to make our program affordable for your budget, while maintaining a high quality of education that truly gets you ready to be successful in an exciting and meaningful field.
Participation in the EquineFlow® training to become a Certified EquineFlow® Practitioner Level 1 (CEP1) ® per school year costs $3250, or $325 per month. Return On Investment The average Equine Assisted Coach charges between $100 and $300 per private session, depending on the location and the demographic they intend to serve. The average equine assisted corporate workshop starts around $4500 for a full day. What you are able to charge, depends on the value you provide for your client, your reputation, and what your clients can afford to pay you. Some of our coaches work with under privileged youth and receive grants. Some of our coaches work with executives in C-suites and bill per hour. There are many ways of tailoring your practice to your unique purpose, and create a thriving, sustainable, career path. |

- Eliminating the necessity to pursue multiple professional trainings by providing a complete, proven, science backed, trauma informed system for personal transformation that was specifically designed with the equestrian in mind.
- Closing the mental health care gap by changing the way people approach horse guided human development outside and complimentary to the traditional assessment, diagnose, treatment, medication mental health models.

Step Into Your Unique Ability
We want you to be successful with our training.
EquineFlow works with some of the coolest people and horses in the world. At EquineFlow, certified EquineFlow practitioners work with executives, teenagers, adults, leaders of international companies and universities. During private sessions and group workshops people restore power and agency, and repair their connection with inner wisdom through evidence based, experiential methods. The work is assisted by unbridled horses in their natural habitat through a variety of different modalities .
Our training is specifically designed for horse people with lived trauma experience who figured out how to lean into the yuck, survive and thrive and who want to support others on their journey through horse guided human development. The training is a great fit for grounded individuals with excellent interpersonal relation skills, who are looking for education outside traditional mental health paths that focus on the contemporary mental health model of assessments, diagnostics and treatments.
EquineFlow Practitioners help their clients reorient themselves to inner power and autonomy, building a life in alignment with the wisdom within. If you are looking for an evidence based, trauma informed, science backed complete start to finish system that is taught in a hand-on, experiential way, to help others move forward in life, with guidance from horses, immersed in nature, this training is likely a great fit for you. |

How does it work?
The EquineFlow approach was developed in conjunction with American neuroscientists, coaches and healers. The approach is not a gimmick or a quick fix. Besides horse assisted learning, it contains proven modalities based on more than 35 scientifically supported therapeutic models for human transformation.
Level 1 includes a complete equine assisted coaching system that allows you to help your client ingrate themselves back is a self-determined sense of wholeness. You will learn how to coach your clients to :
- Reconnect with inner wisdom and intuitive knowing to advance cognitive ability and awaken self-healing.
- Communicate with parts inside themselves, to repair connection between their wise self and their hurt parts, so all parts can work together to create solutions that take into account all parts.
- Pause, assess, and go within to let emerge strategic, all inclusive solutions that work
- Interact with unbridled horses to deepen newfound knowledge and skill, and find additional levels of awareness and clarity.
- Build visionary roadmaps and strategic ecosystems that create happy, meaningful, purposeful lives
- Restore power and agency
This program is unlike any other coaching program. It is a powerful, complete system that aims to ignite change in your clients. It includes techniques from focusing, nature based, trauma-informed coaching, journeying, narrative coaching, sand tray coaching, symbolic modeling, existential coaching, Intuitive Coaching, Socratic Questioning, Somatic Experiencing and more. In addition to the most effective working methods inspired by the leading horse assisted learning models, the EquineFlow Approach also integrates approaches inspired by the best practices of the business world such as LEAN, EOS, Six Sigma, Demming and Prince II. It is a complete, start to finish coaching system, that gets you coaching right after graduation.
"Participating in this training was one of the most valuable decisions I have ever made in my life. I learned I have an intuitive sense about others that I can tap in to, and I learned to trust myself."
- SARA GRIFFITH, CEP1
WHAT MAKES EQUINEFLOW DIFFERENT?
Whole Self Integration
The EquineFlow program focuses on helping clients restore connection with their whole sense of self. Through a variety of linguistic and symbolic inquiry and dialog techniques we help clients restore an inner intuitive communication that allows thoughts and feelings to flow gently through someone's experience of life again. After all parts are acknowledged, clients learn how to build a mental framework that allows for inner wisdom to emerge continuously, naturally, reliably. When clients restore the whole of who they are, this reinstates a sense of deeply felt knowing, peace and homecoming in their own existence, and they expand their ability to adaptively respond to whatever life may bring.
More information in our FAQ
Coaching training
The focus of Certified EquineFlow Practitioners is to meet the client where the client is, at any given moment of the day, and reach out to them in the best possible way. Some days that means clients choose a session with the horses. Other days, clients may decide that interaction with horses does not feel like the right tool for that moment in time to grow and forward motion. The clients are in the lead of their experience and Certified EquineFlow Practitioner walk alongside them on they journey. Our permission based approach is built around the concept of the right technique at the right time for the right person, flowing with where the client feels the need to direct the process toward. EquineFlow teaches the mastery of coaching, both assisted by horses and without assistance. The horses are not tools, but partners. While the interaction with horses can be used as a tool, the approach does not rely on interaction with horses to be successful. In many sessions other animals, plants and rocks become partners in the journey as well, and several practitioners work in the virtual space with great success.

WHAT CERTIFIED EQUINEFLOW PRACTITIONERS SAID ABOUT THIS TRAINING:
The EquineFlow Method and Format is Spot on and very well put together
"This was an extremely valuable experience. The EF method and format for the activities is spot on and very well put together, and well thought out. I feel I have the skills and the knowledge to move forward with my career as a coach."
Roz Tyburski - Certified EquineFlow Practitioner 1
My Dreams Can Become Reality
"I always knew I wanted to help others and I always wanted horses and this is such a wonderful combination. I learned my dreams can become reality and that I can make it happen. I can plan step by step to start the business, and I can I start it without a large financial investment.
Terry Farmer - Certified EquineFlow Practitioner 1
I Now Have Tools
"Everything was so professionally done. The classroom at EquineFlow’s location was perfect in every way. This program was extremely valuable to me in my personal growth alone....and for my future. It has given me tools to use in the future that will allow me to have an income and contribute to my fellow human race! I learned I am capable of everything that I desire to achieve. Perspectives were challenged. My life is rich in experience, both good and bad. I now have tools to ask questions of myself and to share those skills with others. The knowledge that I am capable and intuitive gives me confidence to continue to pursue this road of coaching."
Robin Richardson - Certified EquineFlow Practitioner 1
I learned that I can do this!
"Going through the course really solidified for me that I do want to be a coach. I was so unsure, but I was sure that the methods help people and that I could help people to. Now, I am so glad I can help people through this! I learned how to really use and apply goals. I had only used them with my jobs. I never tried it in my personal development. It was crucial to my success here. And, I learned I can do this!
Maren Reaves - Certified EquineFlow Practitioner 1
This training was truly life changing.
Not only did I receive the tools I needed to transform my coaching business, I was able to gain the tools I needed to transform my own life in a fundamental and healthy way. I was able to connect in a physical way with my emotional reactions. Knowing how feelings are stored in my body and the neuroscience behind my reactions has given me choices that I never knew I had. I gained the perspective that Neuroscience is the key. My perceptions and perspectives were challenged and I was able to drop old habits that no longer serve as I worked side by side with my own practice clients during the training. Thank you for offering this training and sending it out into the world.
I am honored to have been chosen as a student and cannot wait to see how this will transform my work."
Kim Carter - Certified EquineFlow Practitioner 1
One of the most valuable decisions
"Participating in this class was one of the most valuable decisions I have ever made in my life. Learning the neuroscience behind the coaching modalities not only taught me how to help others find their empowered self, it helped me find my own empowered self. I use the tools daily during life's tough challenges, such as watching my mom enter the middle/late stages of dementia. Instead of dropping into a deep, paralyzing depression, I have been able to honor my feelings while staying focused in the here and now and accomplish my goals.
I learned that I have an intuitive sense about others that I can tap in to as I coach clients through a dilemma. I learned how deep my compassion can be and how to channel that into a solid place of holding the space for a client, earning their trust, and giving them the respect they deserve. I learned how to trust a process instead of my own ideas and instead I use my ideas about the various processes to determine the best approach for my client. I learned how to trust myself!
I have seen the power of horse therapy in my own life ever since I can remember. I have dreamed of using horses as a therapeutic modality since high school, but it wasn't until this class that I truly gained the perspective and knowledge to truly understand that this is LIFE CHANGING. I feel a deep sense of urgency to offer what I know to others. I was able to recently walk my client out of suicidal feelings by simply pointing out, "This is your operating self talking to you. What does this feeling want you to know?" She was able to switch out of this way of thinking and solve her problem. If I had not been armored with these tools, I would not have known what to say to her, and would have most likely stayed in my own operating self of fear. I am humbled by the enormous responsibility I have to help others and I feel a deep sense of urgency to reach out. I am absolutely thrilled that I started and completed this class. It has completely transformed my life." Sara Griffith - Certified EquineFlow Practitioner 1
I can trust my instincts and creativity
" It was very powerful to be part of a group of women with different beliefs, educational backgrounds, age and talents united for the common cause of making the world we live in a better place. The program and the environment made it possible. I learned that I'm not broke; I can use my past experience and my unique abilities to create the life I want. I am not too old to learn. I can trust my instincts and creativity, I don't have to do it like everyone else. This training helped me gain perspective about my life and coaching ambitions guiding me to a clear understanding of who I am. I highly recommend it."
Maria Mersman - Certified EquineFlow Practitioner 1
Very valuable experience
"This was a very valuable experience because I am now able to apply the neuroscience behind what I do. Combined with my intuition, this training changed my life. I learned the power of gentleness as well as trusting others to scaffold me and it feels remarkable. Life events can change us, but this training showed me that our coaching gifts can be repackaged, deepened, combined with other models and have a lasting powerful impact. I'm honored to be part of the initial cohort and will strive to honor the lifework of EquineFlow." S. M. Certified EquineFlow Practitioner 1
Learned a lot about the workings of the mind.
"This was a very valuable experience. I learned a lot about the workings of the mind. The tenants of Coaching and how to apply that knowledge to sessions with clients. I found the work with values and the Ikegai worksheet very powerful. The scripted sessions were invaluable examples of powerful work with clients. I also learned so much about myself. Each class taught me something. " Donna Thomas - Certified EquineFlow Practitioner 1

Your participation is final upon receipt of the completed application form, a mutual 'pass' result on the meet & greet, and payment of the deposit or full tuition balance. If you want to participate in the EquineFlow® Level 1 training, click on the button below and fill out the application form. After your form is reviewed, you will be invited to a meet and greet. After your meet and greet, you will receive a letter of admission within 2 weeks. We look forward to hearing your story!
