Amber Denis

Amber has had a passion for horses ever since she learned how to walk; which was with a Fisher Price horse! Growing up she always admired them and was drawn to them. It took her awhile to realize how important they were to her and how perceptive they truly are. She started pursuing her passion and love of horses on a more personal level at age 20 when she bought her first Quarter Horse Cheyenne. She has been her rock, her friend, her constant through the good and the bad. When Amber needed to regroup and re-evaluate her life she spent time with her. She learned a lot about herself with what she reflected back at her.

Her journey as a coach began back in 2015 when she discovered a course being held at Heavenly Acres in Brockville. She looked into the program and was immediately drawn to it; working with horses to help people. This sounded interesting. She contacted the instructors of Higher Trails who graciously let her volunteer for a day.

That day changed her life!

They spent the morning learning the difference between human communication and horse communication. Absolutely incredible information. The afternoon though was where the real magic happened. Ross MacInnes of Higher Trails (now EAL Canada) had her work through an exercise with one of the horses. It was about achieving a goal and identifying what was holding her back from it. Ross guided me through the exercise as she identified the roadblocks. Then he asked her to pick one of the roadblocks to overcome. Well wouldn’t you know it, that horse moved towards the one she was considering without her saying a word, walked up and knocked it right out of the way! That was so powerful as she’d never experienced anything like it before. It showed her the true power of horses. She went home that day charged with a new purpose in life and driven to become a coach. So she did! In 2016, she hosted a coach course at Lone Wolf Farm in Burritts Rapids and started working with clients shortly after.

How she can help in your wellness journey

When horses are partnered with people, an equine assisted transformation is created. Solutions to conflicts in our lives are achievable. Focusing on ourselves can be difficult so having an equine partner eases the discomfort and creates an experiential learning experience unlike any other.

At Equi-Soul our coaches primarily work with women and young teen girls who struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma. This is important to us on a personal level having struggled with these and other symptoms on a regular basis.

Our coaches also work with couples, families, men, children, indigenous peoples, first responders and veterans.

With support and encouragement from our team you can develop leadership skills, trust, respect, personal control, build your confidence, self awareness, self esteem, and reach your goals and full potential.
