Wow! It's crazy how it's almost been a year since I have written in my blog! Which is actually a clear indication of how busy I have been! In the past year I have traveled quite a bit promoting Health and Recreation for the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association in Aboriginal communities and fitting in Equestrian related activities whenever I could. I was invited to participate in Horse Day by the Ontario Equestrian Federation where I worked on a few riders and showed them how easily they could become pain free. My favorite part is seeing their expressions of shock when the injury they have complained about seems to have disappeared! Earlier this year I was in Wellington Florida where I presented at Jane Savoie's Dressage Mentor Reunion on the same topic. We also went to the Showgrounds where I was able to visit with some of my competitor friends. In the next months I am looking forward to giving a clinic outside of Seattle Washington as well as looking to book some dates in France. I am looking forward to working with the coaches and riders from the Royale Equestrian Centre on a regular basis as well. On the professional education side I have pursued more training that has to do with engaging the brain and changing limiting beliefs with Dr. Richard Bandler and John LaValle in Brighton, UK as well as in Orlando Florida. I took more facilitator training as well as Trainer Training with YMCA Canada and contimue to learn on my own through reading and online exploration. Now that my contract with CPRA is ending I am looking to do more work with Equestrians and their Coaches. It is my goal to inform and demonstrate how we can improve ourselves and our relationships with our horses through easy and effective practices. My work is based on scientific information however also includes Aboriginal Teachings of the Medicine Wheel which promote balance in the four aspects of being: Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual. I have decided to be more pro-active and not just rely on word of mouth, invitations and personal encounters to book clinic dates but create a media kit and start making it easier for others to find me. I think it's time I start sharing the real secrets behind the magic that I do so that more people can benefit. :) Don't hesitate ot contact me if you are interested in booking a clinic. I customize them to your needs! Wishing you health, Isabelle
