why should you work with horses?
Horses don’t respond to who we pretend to be.
They respond to your energy, your presence and your truth.Through their natural, intuitive feedback, horses reflect what’s happening in your inner world, helping you:
MIRROR YOUR INNER WORLD
Horses bypass words and reflect the truth of your energy - instantly. They don’t care what you say. They respond to who you are. When your energy shifts, they reflect it without judgment. This deep, honest feedback helps you see emotional patterns and internal misalignment you may not even be aware of, so you can begin to shift it at the root.
REGULATE YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM
In a dysregulated world, horses bring you back to center. Their grounded presence naturally co-regulates your nervous system, helping you release anxiety, settle your body and return to a state of peace. Simply being with a regulated horse can help you feel safe enough to heal - physically, emotionally and spiritually.
REWIRE SUBCONSCIOUS PATTERNS
This work goes beyond the mind. Through embodied presence and intuitive interaction, horses surface unconscious beliefs and coping mechanisms that have been running the show. You’ll not only see them clearly, you’ll begin to repattern them through direct somatic experience.
RECONNECT WITH YOUR INNER TRUTH
In a world full of noise, horses help you hear yourself again. When you’re in nature with a horse, distractions fall away. You drop from your head into your body and heart. You remember who you are, what you need and what truly matters. That clarity becomes your compass, not just in the session, but in your life.
How do I know this is for me?
This work isn’t just for the experienced, the prepared or the ones with a plan. It’s for those who feel a pull, even if they can’t fully explain why.You don’t need:
Horse experience
A five-year plan
To have it all together
To keep figuring it all out in your head
Know exactly what you want
You just need to trust the quiet voice that says:
It’s time.Because staying in the confusion, the overthinking, the exhaustion...
That’s not working anymore.This work meets you where you are and helps you return to the clarity, connection and peace you’ve been craving.

“Before working with Vanessa, I was carrying years of emotional weight I didn’t fully understand. The horses mirrored my inner world in ways I can’t explain, they helped me release what I’d held onto for too long. She guided me with deep care into parts of myself I had avoided for years. This work is unlike anything else. It’s something you have to experience to truly understand.”
- Tonya Ellis
“I wasn’t seeking this work, it found me. From the moment I met Vanessa and the horses, I felt something powerful. My soul knew I was saying yes to something sacred. Each session moved layers of grief, clarity, and presence. I’ve since set stronger boundaries, released misaligned relationships and reclaimed my voice. Vanessa’s deep presence and the horses’ intuitive wisdom helped me return to who I truly am. This isn’t just healing - it’s soul remembering.”
– Danielle Kreger
“When I connected with Vanessa, I had already done a lot of inner work. But there was still something missing inside of me and inside of my business. The moment I arrived and met the horses, something shifted within me. Through Vanessa’s guidance and their presence, I felt a deep part of myself wake up. Since then, my business has gained momentum and I feel more connected to myself than I ever have before. The missing link was this work .”
– Jennifer Whitaker
“Before working with Vanessa, I struggled to slow down and connect with what I was feeling. Through our immersion with the horses, I finally landed back in my body. The space she created felt sacred and safe. Since then, I’ve felt more grounded, less reactive and more able to express myself clearly. This work helped me release what I didn’t even know I was carrying.”
– Vanessa Lam
FAQS
Do I need any horse experience?
No. You don’t need to have ever touched a horse before. All sessions are done safely from the ground. If you choose to add the horseback riding option, Laurie, your riding instructor, will meet you exactly where you are. What matters most is your openness and presence.
What if I’m going through a really hard time? Is that “too much” for this work?
Not at all. This work is intentionally nervous system-aware. Many clients come during times of grief, transition or burnout. The space we create together is designed for safety, co-regulation and deep emotional support. You don’t have to hold it all together here, you get to exhale and be met exactly where you are.
What kind of person is this really for?
This is for you if you’re high-functioning but quietly burning out. If you live in your head more than your body. If you’re sensitive, intuitive, or craving a deeper relationship with yourself, your purpose and God. If you’ve done “the work” but still feel stuck or uncertain about your next steps…This is your next step.
What makes this different from therapy or traditional coaching?
This is somatic, intuitive, energetic and spiritual work - guided by both myself and the horses. It’s not about fixing yourself or endlessly talking through problems. It’s about dropping into your body, getting honest and allowing real change through presence, feeling, energy and connection.
Where do the sessions take place?
All sessions are held on a peaceful private horse property in Middle Tennessee, about 45 minutes from Nashville.
What if I don’t know which program is right for me?
That’s exactly what your complimentary Equine Exploration Call is for. We’ll connect, feel into where you are and what you need and see what’s the best fit. No pressure. No scripts. Just an honest, heart-to-heart conversation about your next steps.
