Hello, I am monique

Founder of EquineFlow®, Author, Horse Coach

Welcome to Equineflow, a method for horse guided human transformation.
Glad you found your way here. I look forward to hearing your story.

Since 2010 I have my own horse guided human development practice here in Greenville, SC. In the South of the US I coach teenagers, adults, and leaders of international companies, through private sessions and workshops. I work with American universities and companies, and use horses to create transformation for clients.

I founded the EquineFlow® method for horse guided human development which was developed in conjunction with American neuroscientists. The Equineflow® method contains proven modalities based on more than 35 scientifically supported therapeutic models for trauma-informed coaching, such as positive psychology, narrative therapy, sand tray therapy, symbolic modeling, REBT, Existential Therapy, Felt Sense, ACT, Logotherapy, Eco Therapy more. In addition to the most effective working methods inspired by the leading horse assisted learning models, the method also contains approaches inspired by the best practices of the business world such as LEAN, Six Sigma, Demming and Prince II.

At the request of clients, I started teaching the EquineFlow® method in 2018. In 2019 the first Level 1 EquineFlow Life Coaching Certificate Training sold out 3 months ahead of time and received rave reviews.

In 2020 the second edition of Level 1 sold out as well, and 6 brave and determined aspirant coaches are working toward mastering the art of horse assisted coaching.

The focus of training is providing intuitive horse people with a proven, science backed, horse assisted coaching framework, so that they can start coaching to ignite authentic transformation in clients, through wisdom and horses.

The next class will start in September 2021 and I hope you will join us.

What International Clients Say:

***** Gareth O. :  Adapt to a Changing World

"Through EquineFlow's Leadership Training we gained the insight that everyone needs to adapt to a changing world; we must adapt ourselves to the other side to meet others where they are. We learned to take time to prepare, adapt & achieve. As a team, we now agree to hold each other more accountable. It really was a great experience; an interesting opportunity- very different from other activities we've been involved with, and a novel approach. A great platform to observe behavioral leadership outside the confines of an office."   Gareth O'Hara, Chief Sales Officer, Paxton Access, UK 

***** John Z. :  Extremely Rewarding

"Working with EquineFlow has been simultaneously one of the easiest and most challenging experiences I have ever had. Most importantly, it has been extremely rewarding. Monique is skilled at unapologetically pushing you to work hard, while showing incredible empathy and developing lasting rapport with you from the very first session.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical of coaching in the beginning because I am trained as a therapist, however what EquineFlow offered really sounded like exactly what I needed at this point in my life. Monique’s methods are based in research and she is always willing to explain the neuroscience behind what she is doing.

I learned skills that I could use in everyday situations the moment I walked out of my sessions. I learned the importance of taking time to really focus on getting in touch with all parts of myself, and I am learning how to hear all parts of myself and find balance in which parts push me forward in life. It has provided me with tools to come back to and use in the future, and it has given me the courage to make decisions and confidently choose to honor myself. 

*****  Sharon C. : I Tripled My Business & Walked Into A Dream

"I first came to EquineFlow’s beautiful peaceful urban farm with a heart full of grief and the weight of the world on my shoulders. My recent separation and pending divorce, the heartache of my children, and my pitiful career were almost more than I could take. Her dogs surrounded me, giving me comfort and strength, as I sat on her couch hardly able to speak without tears streaming down my checks.

Many of the sessions were difficult-causing me to lose focus on what little life I had as we looked deep into my heart. She encouraged me to be gentle with myself-to give myself permission to grieve and “fall apart” as it were. I learned to view myself in a positive light with compassion and understanding.

Rather than frantically rushing around attempting to follow the values and advice of those around me, I learned to sit still and listen to myself. My voice began to matter to me. The science behind her approach gave me the assurance that I wasn’t following the latest self-help fad, but rather concepts based on solid research.

​The peace and contentment with myself as a person began to positively impact my business and my friendships. My business has tripled, my divorce to my abusive ex is final-I am walking out of a nightmare and into a dream. This dream does not define me however, and if it falls apart tomorrow, I’ll be ok. Because I’m me. "

***** Molly F. : ​​See Myself in a New Light

"From the very beginning the EquineFlow Leadership Masterclass revealed things about myself that will stick with me forever. Such simple interactions with the horses allowed me to see myself in a new light. It has given me more confidence to go after what I really want. I am more self aware and my insights help me set goals that are custom to me and my needs. I have a new appreciation for horses. and feel inspired overall.

Reviews From EquineFlow Students

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 Coach

This training was truly life changing

"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 Coach

I 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 Life 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 Coach

I can trust my instincts and creativity

" It was very powerful to be part of a group of women with different beliefs, education 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 Coach

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 Coach

This training changed my life

"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 Monique."
