About Liz – Your human coach!
Hi, I’m Liz, I am the founder of Hearts and Hooves Connection Coaching. I consider myself an eternal student of the horse and of true connection to oneself, nature and to the present moment. After a fairly ‘regular’ childhood playing with ponies as often as possible, I studied Agriculture at University but was drawn back to the horses as a career path.
I worked in a variety of equestrian facilities ranging from hunter/jumper, physiotherapy & rehabilitation, polo & veterinary care in a variety of countries during my twenties always seeking connection, and finding it in the sweet breath and gentle, yet strong and reassuring presence of the horses no matter where I ended up.
A period of settled life found me connecting with my Icelandic mare Joda, who has been with me for 17 years and during that time she has been my doorway to the expansion of my life experience with horses and in many other ways. More travel commenced in 2014 with a trip to Canada leading to many exciting connections with people and animals. At this time I became aware of my desire to find a way of combining my love of horses with the desire to assist others with their journey to self awareness and so ‘teachers’ began to appear in my world.
I was strongly drawn to the teachings of ‘Melisa Pearce of Touched by a Horse (USA)‘ and completed a comprehensive 2 year training to gain my qualification as an EGC (Equine Gestalt Coach). (Equine Gestaltist).
I feel I have now aligned with my true path….
The themes of my life have always been horses, nature, travel, possibility and connection. As I step forwards into this new phase of life, I wish to experience and share the bliss of these themes with other people. I envision a future living space where a family of horses can roam on a large acreage, where mother nature supports life organically and clear from pollution, where people can truly connect with themselves, each other and this moment of now… and now…. and now. The possibilities are limitless and I believe in my future, trusting that it will unfold perfectly.
This last eighteen months has brought around massive changes for me and the team. The biggest has been our relocation!!
We are now living on a 250acre hill farm close to the beautiful coastline of Porthmadog, Gwynedd. The journey to this place has been a long unfolding and I have to pinch myself daily to really acknowledge that i am here in such an amazing place! I had a seed of a vision planted in me 10 years ago in Canada and this location now is the realisation of that seed!! This has led me to pay more attention to the power of focus and manifestation as magic is Possible! It has been proven to me!
