A Practitioner with Lived Experience

“My journey with Amerron Acres is rooted in lived experience — in learning to listen to my body, to trust its intelligence, and to move through challenge with presence, compassion, and curiosity. Growing up with ADHD and navigating the world as a neurodiverse individual taught me early on the importance of self-awareness, resilience, and finding ways to honor my own needs while connecting with others. These experiences have shaped not only how I show up in life but also how I guide others in theirs.

Several years ago, I faced a period of chronic illness that left me bedbound with a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak. It was a time that tested me mentally, emotionally, and physically. Through deep self-awareness, meditation, mind-body practices, and relentless self-advocacy, I was able to navigate diagnosis, treatment, and ultimately healing. My family and the horses I worked with were constant companions on this path.

That journey, along with my experiences as a parent of three children, has profoundly shaped how I now hold space for others. At Amerron Acres, I integrate trauma informed somatic awareness, self-compassion, relational intelligence, and neurodiverse perspectives into equine-facilitated learning. I know first-hand how the body can guide us toward insight and transformation, how our unique wiring can be a source of strength, and how presence — our own and that of another living being — can be profoundly grounding.

I’ve drawn on those insights in designing space where humans can connect with themselves, each other, and the horses in a safe, explorative, and supportive environment.

My work is an invitation: to listen to your body, to move with intention, and to discover your own intelligence, resilience, and relational capacity in the living field — with horses as co-guides and witnesses on the journey.”
