You’re Still In There.
Sometimes life gets so full of responsibilities, expectations, relationships, and everything everyone else needs from you that you lose touch with yourself.
Healing Through Broken Strides is a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what’s really happening beneath the surface.
Through Gestalt Coaching, I work with people virtually, in person, and alongside horses to create space for greater self-awareness, authenticity, and meaningful change.
Hi I'm Shania!
I'm the heart behind Healing Through Broken Strides.
I'm a trauma-informed trained Equine Gestalt Coach, and I help people slow down, become more aware of what is happening within them, and reconnect with who they are.
My work is centered around presence, awareness, connection, authenticity, and growth.
And while horses are a big part of what I do, you don't need a horse to work with me.
There Isn't Just One Way to Do This Work.
You don't have to live nearby. You don't have to have a horse. And you don't have to know exactly what you need before you begin.
There are different ways we can work together, depending on what feels right for you.
💻 Virtual & Phone Coaching
Meaningful coaching can happen wherever you are. Through Zoom or phone sessions, we'll create space to slow down, become more aware of what's happening within you, and explore what you're ready to understand, change, or reconnect with.
🤍 1:1 Gestalt Coaching
For those who prefer to work together in person, we can meet without horses and still do deep, experiential Gestalt work. The focus remains on you — your experience, your awareness, and what is happening for you in the present moment.
🐴 Equine Gestalt Coaching
When you work alongside a horse, something different becomes possible. Horses can bring a powerful presence and awareness to the experience, offering another way to notice what may be happening within you.
The horse isn't the point. You are.
Maybe You're in a Season of Change
Maybe you're tired of putting yourself last.
Maybe you've spent so much time being what everyone else needs that you're not sure what you need anymore.
Maybe you're questioning old patterns, beliefs, relationships, or the direction your life is going.
Or maybe you can't quite explain what's wrong—you just know you don't want to keep feeling this way.
You don't have to have it all figured out before you begin.
You just have to be willing to start.
Why Horses?
The horses aren't there to fix you, teach you a lesson, or tell you what's wrong.
They're partners in the experience.
Working alongside a horse can bring an entirely different kind of awareness to the coaching process. Horses respond to what is happening around them in the present moment, and their presence can invite us to slow down, become more aware of ourselves, and notice things we may not have been able to put into words.
You don't need to be a horse person. You don't need riding experience. And you don't need to know what you're looking for before you begin.
The horse simply offers another way into the work.
You remain at the center of it.
