What is Equine Gestalt Coaching?

The Equine Gestalt Coaching Method® was developed by Melisa Pearce, a core founder since 1989, of the horse-human healing movement.

The EGC Method® recognizes that every one of us has experienced some form of trauma or emotional wounds from our past that prevents us from being fully present in the here and now.

Gestalt is a holistic, therapeutic modality. It focuses on each individual person’s uniqueness and experiences. It brings self-awareness as to how their past experiences may shape their responses to events in the present moment.

The EGC Method® is a unique experience where the horse is my coaching partner. Horses live in the present moment. They’re intuitive, they can see our pain, and they help us see our blind spots that are preventing us from creating and living our most joyful, authentic lives.

I believe horses are spiritual guides that help us to become more self-aware and guide us to our authenticity. They meet us where we are without judgment or conditions. To horses, emotions are simply information, and they guide us to discover and accept our feelings without judgment. They’re also powerful healers who can see and release energy blocks we’re unaware of.


This holistic approach allows for the complete release of energy and emotional blocks or pain.
