Biography

Valence specialises in liberty training, reward-based trick training and meditation with horses. Her training is relational and trauma informed with an emphasis on the wellbeing of the horse.
After a number of years as a horse trainer (starting horses under saddle), Valence noticed a shift in how people were relating to their horses with a deeper compassion and connection. This further inspired her spiritual journey of self-discovery with horses and changed the approach Valence had been taking - from training horses, to supporting humans (the horse owners) to truly understand horses and be in an intimate relationship with their horses.
Valence is passionate about equine psychology and behaviour and offers services as a Horsemanship and Self-discovery Coach and Meditation with horses. Valence supports people to learn how to train, connect & grow with horses in a holistic way via understanding equine psychology, ethology & regulation with horses. Valence has completed a Diploma in Equine Psychology, Certification with The Equine Psychotherapy Institute as an Equine Assisted Learning practitioner, is a professional member of the IICT recognised in the modalities of Equine Meditation, Equine Assisted Learning, Meditation Teaching, Holistic Counselling & Personal Training and competed successfully at the Australian Brumby Challenge 2014 .
