" I feel like a different person."
“The whole Equus Coaching experience was incredible, like months of therapy in one session.
"I feel like a different person. I see the last 2 decades completely differently - like I've been released from prison!"
Ali Allen, photographer and yoga teacher.
You don't have to be super-human to get these results.
All my clients feel a powerful shift after just one session.
Recent shifts:
-
After months of stalling and being unsure of what the ‘right’ thing to do for her family, the horse enabled instant change. After the session she put her house on the market. No question. No second guessing. Dead sure.
-
After repeated procrastination and flick-flacking between 3 potential novels, the horse responded and suddenly she knew for sure which book to focus on, and she never looked back (you can buy it soon!)
-
Leave the job? Stay? Promotion better? Quit? An agonizing grindstone of questioning and waking in panic at 4am. . . all of that gone after one hour of with the horse. And the answer: stay. Create flexible hours. Spend more time with family for the same income. Re-train to be a therapist. No more sleepless nights. . .
-
Years of questioning the marriage. After an hour with the horse and probing the ‘do not mention zone’ of divorce. she found a her answer: don't leave. Boom. Partnership ignited. Problem solved.
This kind of instant, crystal-clear clarity is normal in my world, and it's possible for you as well.
The answers you seek
are within reach.
You might not know what that looks like right now, and you might not even know what questions to ask, and that's OK. My horse and I will be with you every step of the way.
Just know that this work will bring your insights to the surface in a way that feels like something is clicking into place. Like finding the last piece of the puzzle. And that's when the next step of the path appears.
EVEN IF:
- You’re currently lost at sea, spinning in confusion and paralysing indecision, bobbing about helplessly in a life or job you no longer love, but can’t work out what to do about it.
- You only know what you don't want but don't know what you do want.
- Your current mantra is, 'I don't have time to deal with any changes right now.'
People who work with me have normally tried things like:
Making pros and cons lists, cost benefit analysis, meditating to find peace with the situation you’re in (because Eat Pray Love isn’t an option), drawing oracle and tarot cards, asking friends until they inwardly (or outwardly!) groan when you embark on the topic yet again.
Many have also tried shoving it all down, deep inside, thinking it will pass. Some have tried therapy.
It hasn't worked. Not fully.
Shouldn’t there be more? They secretly wonder, before going to the next boring executive meeting, or reading yet another drama-fuelled parents' whatsapp chat, and shoving their true feelings so far down they can’t even access them anymore.
And the doubt! They begin to doubt that there’s anything better, or that they, at least, aren't able to find it. After all, isn't it just 'fine'?
Isn't it impossible? They begin to think there's no way they could pull off, even if they knew what to do, given all their commitments - not to mention the confusion. After all, what if they get it wrong? Or what if there's nothing better at all? Next thing you know, they scroll enviously through their Insta feed, seeing other people live a life they don’t dare believe is possible for them, feeling miserable or just closed off.
But it is possible.
That’s where I come in.
With a horse.
"I've changed my life as a result!"
Working with the horse was the perfect accompaniment to a cathartic, expertly coached session. Already a convert to the value and benefits of coaching, I have total confidence in Joanna, she is knowledgeable, trustworthy and zen! I moved from overwhelm to creating perspective. And I loved being outside, in sunshine, with the birds and the horse!
Sarah Smalley, coach and The Foundry founder
Here’s what’s on the other side of doubt and confusion.
Working with a horse helps you find the kind of five-star clarity that makes it impossible to return to the old way of thinking.
What's more, after just one session, your faith in yourself and in what’s possible for you will not only be a nice idea, it will be a felt experience.
This is why I always say that working with a horse will give you more insight and direction than a full-on Vision Quest; except you don’t have to rough it outside for ten days, drinking bitter tea and missing your bed.
To make sure you integrate your insights and answers into your everyday life, we’ll follow up with traditional coaching sessions. Insights + action = a new path appears.
But before we get into all the nuts and bolts of this 3-month journey, let me tell you more about the horse (and the human).
The Horse.
When you work with the horse (also called Equus Coaching), the horse will take you out of your head and its exhausting fact-finding mission, weighing things back and forth, and spinning round in circles, into peace, clarity, and felt knowing.
That is the shift. You’ll feel certain. You just know.
Because horses are herd and prey animals, they know how to connect with us and read us better than we do ourselves. It can seem like magic, but it's the age-old way horses have been relating to each other since the beginning of time.
The Human
Hi! I'm Joanna Shipley, and I'm a Master Life Coach and Equus Coach. I've been in this industry for over 25 years, and I love helping people like yourself create powerful shifts that you can feel, see, and measure.
By doing this work together, you'll map out the next steps without second-guessing every little decision. You get to harness your energy and put it towards your future, instead of spinning in the past.
I can't wait to see what you do with this!
For now, though, your only job is to show up just the way you are. And then we'll take it from there.
The Nuts & Bolts - What Working Together Looks Like...
The power of this program is in the hybrid - the mix of coaching on Zoom and in person with the horse.
This combo will lift you out of stagnation and into the life you yearn for. It doesn't matter if you're dreaming of a better job, a fulfilling relationship, becoming a stronger leader, a more peaceful parent, or living out your pearl-diving fantasy. This work will get you there, and there will be some unexpected wins and surprises along the way.
What's included:
-
10 sessions in total. 3 with the horse. 7 via zoom with Joanna.
-
1 x initial 90-minute strategy and focus session via Zoom to set the trajectory
-
3 x 2-hour Equus sessions with a horse in Wiltshire or Gloucestershire (these can be combined into 1-2 longer sessions if you're travelling a long distance).
-
6 x 60-minute sessions via Zoom
-
-
All sessions must be completed within 3 months. That's the best time frame to build momentum and make the changes you yearn for.
WHY THREE EQUUES SESSIONS?
You'll get deeper each time you work with a horse. You might also work with different horses, and each of them comes with their own personality and will uncover different sides of you.
WHY SEVEN ZOOM SESSIONS:
As you become more familiar with the tools and everything you're learning, each session will build on the next. Plus, things always come up along the way, and with consistent coaching, you won't get distracted or slide back into old patterns.
Life is too short to dance around the same problem on repeat.
It’s time to shift.
