Episode 151: Leah's Transformational Journey with Equine Connection
A Transformational Journey with Equine Connection
Leah Dick’s journey with Equine Connection began in 2015, marking a pivotal point in her professional and personal life. At the time, she was already running small wellness and balance sessions with her horses but sought a way to expand her business in a meaningful way—one that prioritized the well-being of both humans and horses.
What drew Leah to Equine Connection was its professionalism, comprehensive programming, and authentic approach. The organization’s ability to answer her questions with confidence and provide well-researched methods resonated deeply. With a ready-made business plan and a strong focus on collaboration, Equine Connection stood out as the perfect partner to help her elevate her work.
Building a New Path
Through the certification process, Leah found more than just tools for her business—she discovered a philosophy that centered on the wisdom of horses. A moment during her training stood out vividly: while struggling with a role-play scenario, her mentors, Carrie and Carolyn, offered the simple yet profound advice to “always bring it back to the horse.” That single phrase became a guiding principle, shaping how she approached challenges both in business and life.
The training also introduced Leah to a wealth of facilitation skills that transcended her work. She found herself applying these skills not only in her sessions but also in her interactions with family and friends, enriching her ability to connect and communicate effectively.
Community and Growth
The support Leah received from Equine Connection didn’t end with her certification. She describes the community as more than a network—it’s a family. Whether seeking advice, brainstorming ideas, or sharing challenges, Leah found herself surrounded by a group of like-minded individuals who were genuinely invested in her success.
Carrie and Carolyn, the leaders of Equine Connection, became not just mentors but friends. Their openness to collaboration allowed Leah to share her unique expertise, leading to the creation of her own course on horse culture and energetic exchanges. Encouraged by their belief in her, Leah developed and presented her program to the Equine Connection community, opening doors she never imagined possible.
Transforming a Business
With the certification, Leah’s business underwent a complete transformation. She expanded from small, localized sessions to an online platform that reached clients across the globe. Her income grew alongside her confidence as she combined the structured programs she had learned with her passion for horse culture and wellness.
Leah’s niche focus on energetic exchanges and horse culture set her apart in the equine-assisted learning field. She now assists other facilitators in incorporating these elements into their own practices, providing an added layer of insight and value to their work.
A Bright Future
Leah’s goals are as ambitious as they are heartfelt. She plans to develop a full certification based on her Equus Empowered program, continuing to grow her offerings while staying deeply connected to the Equine Connection community. The certification, she says, not only gave her the tools to succeed but also instilled the confidence to embrace her unique style and passion.
Her advice to anyone considering Equine Connection’s certification is simple: “Do it.” She believes wholeheartedly in the program’s ability to transform lives—not just through its curriculum but through the genuine care and dedication of its leaders.
A Message of Gratitude
Leah’s journey is a testament to the power of connection—between humans, horses, and a supportive community. She remains deeply grateful to Carrie, Carolyn, and the Equine Connection team for their unwavering belief in her potential and their commitment to the well-being of horses. For Leah, the experience has been nothing short of life-changing, and she looks forward to continuing her work of healing and connection, one step at a time.
