Meet Michelle Rider

Find peace in the present moment with our guided Gestalt process. 

Gestalt is a co-creative process between you and I, alongside a special horse that allows you to find meaningful answers and gives you the ability to live the life you want.

You are not alone

Depressed? Grieving? Angry at the world? Confused because you are not where you want to be? Dealing with trauma? 

When I say I get your pain and frustration, I really do. I have lived through childhood trauma, bad relationships, dead end jobs, and loss of loved ones.

There is one simple truth that I was reminded of a few years ago as I was going through my healing:

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

let’s change it

As an Equine Practitioner, I observe most people putting on the face of “I’ve got it handled.” In reality, there’s a big difference between what’s on the outside and what’s on the inside.  

Yes, that beautiful young neighbor that you wish you could be, is probably more insecure than you can imagine.

The lady in front of you in the grocery store that seems frustrated, just lost a job.

The happy family you see at the park is actually going through a divorce. We all find ways to cover up our fears and insecurities.

Fear happens, self doubt happens, we can’t escape it.  So let’s change it.

i am michelle

A life was born anew from within the deepest of love and raised from the purest of hearts.

I was born with warmth and joy, and through that, I was blessed. This life, this soul, struggled to fly and to be free from the shell that confined it, wanting to be free, fighting for escape.

This soul sat in the darkness, crying for someone, but no one came, and the only thing left was a fearful heart, deprived of love. Abandoned and broken, the once hopeful soul that dreamt of a bright future was now lost.


Life took over as the tragedies of the mind stumbled upon this heart, entirely and utterly shattering, but not breaking it. Once looking towards the sky and the endless possibilities that lay ahead, the soul was now gone. Still, there was something within. A light remained.

That light pushed, seized the moment, and finally found a way out. The shell broke, and the soul was set free—bruised, bent, broken, shattered, abandoned, but still hopeful that tomorrow would be better.

only two feet to change

I’ve heard somewhere that it only takes two feet to move your body, but four to move your soul. It’s taken me twenty years to figure this out, and I agree wholeheartedly.

Sifting through life feeling trapped, confused, maybe even helpless is not our intended purpose. However, most of us have no idea how to break free of our pain, sorrow, and anger. 

I know this because I spent half a century living that way. I never knew what freedom was and I never knew what a soul’s purpose could be. 

Until now.

Restore Your Soul

Find Your Purpose

Overcome Trauma

Moving forward in life isn’t always easy

Be how you’re meant to be

Together we’ll find the path and move forward. In our technology driven world, it’s easy to lose sight of who we really are, especially when everyone else’s life seems so perfect on the outside.

Whether you’re trying to restore your soul, discover your purpose or overcome past trauma, know that what you’re experiencing is normal. Something being normal and commonplace doesn’t make it easy to get past, but together we can make it easy.
