My Story

Meet Natacha

I was born with a love for horses. For as far back as I can recall, I remember being intensely drawn to their wild beauty and in awe of the mysterious wisdom that l could sense when I looked deep into their eyes. When I was eight years old, I began taking riding lessons and from that day on horses became an integral part of my life. During the more difficult times I faced in high school, the horses were the ones I turned to for comfort, and the barn was the one place I could experience relief and joy in those moments. It was during this time that I became determined to bring horses to others who could benefit from their healing potential.

In the pursuit of this dream, after I graduated from college I became a PATH Intl. certified Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning and facilitated equine-assisted learning sessions for groups and individuals at a local non-profit therapeutic equine program. It was here that I discovered my passion for helping adolescents with mental health challenges find joy and build self-esteem by partnering with horses.

As I worked, studied, and breathed horses, I also simultaneously underwent a personal journey of inner transformation. As a teen, I discovered Reiki and meditation which ignited my passion for mindfulness and spirituality. I later went on to complete a Masters in Consciousness Studies and Transpersonal Psychology. During this time, I merged my training in meditation and energy work with the horses, and fell headfirst into a world I had only dreamed of until then. The bond with my horses deepened, and as communication flowed between us, my relationship with them was transformed into one of deep trust, intuitive connection, and mutual healing.

To learn more about how to guide others in their own healing with horses, I enrolled in Touched by a Horse® to pursue my certification as an Equine Gestaltist™. During my time in that program, I also became a licensed Equine Facilitator™ so I could provide mindfulness-based sessions with the horses.

Today, Herd Miracles LLC is the manifested dream from my childhood: a place where horses and humans can come together to experience the magic in true connection. A miracle is a moment of unexpected possibility, and horses have the power to see what lies beyond our awareness. Come join the herd and experience your own remarkable journey of transformation with horses.

Testimonials

From the moment I sat down with Natacha, I was met with patience and understanding. She led me through an experience where I gained a lot more clarity about myself. I left with greater confidence about my life purpose and calling. I couldn’t be more grateful to her! 

P.S. The way the horse participated in the work blew my mind and was so affirming!

Working with Herd Miracles was an enlightening and sacred experience. Natacha’s expert guidance led me into a direct connection with her horse who then taught me, and more importantly allowed me to feel the consciousness that connects all of creation. The horse allowed me to feel what it is like, at all times and in all circumstances, to be fully immersed in the present moment. It was an experience that moved from the intellectual into the experiential, bringing profound peace and higher levels of consciousness. I will be recommending Natacha to my clients!

I had the opportunity to experience a Mindfulness Equine session with Natacha. She immediately created a safe place for me to dive into therapeutic conversation while engaging me with the horses. Over the years I have explored therapy, but I have never experienced therapy with animals. I found the session to be special because Natacha allowed me to take the lead when communicating with the horses, while guiding me through the process. One of the horses named Captain, was very attentive and sensed how I was feeling, giving me a perfect balance of space and comfort. I felt inclined to speak my mind within the environment and I felt lighter after the session. Both Natacha and the horses embraced me with warmth and acceptance and I recommend this experience to anyone who seeks a calm connection.
