Kelly Jones NL-EP
Author, Healer, Life Coach, Retreat Facilitator, Equine Assisted Learning and Therapy Consultant 

What is it about being in the presence of horses that is so settling for the human being? What is it that seems to cause our bodies, minds and spirits to heal when we spend time with them?

For over two decades, Kelly has been on a deeply personal journey to explore these questions within the context of being a horse owner, ranch owner, instructor, facility owner and manager, equine professional, retreat facilitator, coach and consultant. As a single mom and business owner, developing resilience and overcoming hardships is something Kelly has experienced first-hand. This is what drives her to help others who are struggling with a sense of hopelessness and feeling stuck or asleep. Schedule a session for Spring 2022 here.

Kelly, who is certified with the Natural Lifemanship Institute, offers an experiential learning process that integrates the healing power of nature with mindfulness practices and time in the presence of horses. She combines her experiences of working alongside ten licensed professional mental health providers, her life-long love of horses and a gained understanding of their natural characteristics and behavior, to meet her clients where they are and offer support and healing in a safe and private oasis in Western Colorado.
