If you’ve spent any time at all browsing greeting cards at your local feed or tack store over the years, you’ve surely seen artwork by my next guest, Kim McElroy! 💖

A truly deep, rich, joyful and fascinating conversation, join us as Kim and I discuss art as a shamanic journey and the artist as a medium.

Kim's ability to infuse equine soul energy onto paper via pastels has brought her world-wide acclaim. She embraces horses as spirit guides and is passionate about sharing their stories through her paintings.

Her latest endeavor, "The Council of Horses Oracle" card deck, co-created with Sandra Wallin, was released last October. Kim and I dive into some of the myth and archetypes represented in the 40 stunning images, of which more than 20 were created within a year specifically for this deck.

Each painting is not just a picture of a horse, but holds metaphor and deeper meaning for the viewer to contemplate and discover.

Don't miss this episode, it's truly a phenomenal listen!

From Scientist to Modern Day Mystic, join me as I talk with Brazilian born Mariana Nagy-Reis about her awakening experience and how her horse Amelia led her to her true calling as an Animal Communicator and the inception of her business "Alchemy Queen."

Intuitively guided to attend the Elements of Connection two years ago in Aptos, CA, Mariana was on a quest to determine if she should sell her mare, or IF she could "reconnect" with her after a serious accident that caused Mariana to re-examine and reflect on her identity, dreams and the possibility that she might never walk again.

Diving deep into your inner world, learning who you truly are, trusting your intuition and embracing how to do less and BE more, are just some of the topics we explore in this episode!

Get ready to dive DEEP during this conversation with my friend Jen Johnson, as we discuss her Awakening through Animal Communication, Shamanic Spirit Animals and even Shape Shifting!

Jen works as a professional in Information Technology at a global insurance company, but her horses are her true passion.

Join us as we talk about her journey with Arabian horses, Western Dressage and Holistic Equine Therapy for Trauma Survivors and how the path with her Polish Arabian Gelding "HS Pinero" took her from competing at the WDAA Worlds Show with multiple national titles, to diving head first into Animal Communication, hearing her horse for the very first time and ultimately making the promise to "Bear" to always listen to his voice.

Excited to welcome another friend, Katherine Lowry, for our seventh episode of "My Magical Horse ~ The Podcast!"

Katherine is a Classical Dressage Instructor, Personal Trainer, BTMM Certified Specialty Instructor and a Master in Rider Biomechanics!

In this episode, Katherine and I talk about how important the HUMAN body is in creating a magical horse/human relationship and dive into two personal traumatic events Katherine navigated that led her to becoming an expert in the field of rider biomechanics as part of her own healing journey and how she now helps other riders on their own healing journeys.

If your recovering from an injury, or perhaps you're not injured, but feel an underlying sense of fear when working around horses, it could be your body talking to you! If this resonates with you, don't miss this episode!

We also dive into Animal Communication and how Katherine's "science" based mind was finally able to explain and accept that Animal Communication is indeed happening and is REAL!

Somewhere...some where in time's own space There must be some sweet pastured place.

Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow Some Paradise where horses go.

My very first experience with an Animal Communicator was with this beautiful soul, Joelle (Samulis) Decker, back in February of 2019.

She had donated an Animal Communication session to our Lower Puget Sound Dressage Club's Annual Awards Banquet and Auction Fundraiser and though I was still a bit unsure and skeptical, I was the winning bidder!

My first session with Joelle blew my mind as she knew so much about both of my horses and their personalities simply from connecting with them through a photo! My interest was peaked and I began gradually opening my mind up to Animal Communication.

Fast forward 6 years and here I am, now dedicating an entire podcast to the subject!

Joelle fell in love with horses at the early age of 4 at Clover Valley Riding Center and eventually starting competing in Eventing with Grand Farms.

She met the now very well known Animal Communicator, Joan Ranquet, at a local Eventing Competition at Donida Farm when she was around 10 or 11 years old and got to have Joan do a session with her pony that she was competing on that weekend. What she learned from Joan helped her and her pony overcome the fears her pony had about ditches and down banks and Joelle's life eventually came full circle when she decided to enroll as a student in Joan's "Communication With All Life University" in 2011.

Today Joelle works professionally as an Animal Communicator and is based in Montana. Her sessions are specifically tailored to each client's needs and the sessions are dedicated to allowing both human and animal to ground in their body in a safe space. 

Join us during this episode for a fun conversation about spirituality, finding your energetic center and exploring the energy exchange we experience daily with our animals, plus so much more!

I'm so excited to welcome my friend Celeste Lazaris for our fifth episode of "My Magical Horse ~ The Podcast!" Celeste is a horse trainer, body worker and most notably the creator of the Balance Through Movement Method™.

In this episode, Celeste and I talk about her Andalusian Stallion "Dragon" and how he led her down a path that ultimately became the catalyst that brought "BTMM" into existence, plus SO MUCH MORE!

I met Celeste nearly 6 years ago when I first started seeing her for massage therapy for myself, so that I could continue to function as a horse trainer. At that time, she had recently put her own horse training career on hold while she furthered her education as a body worker, ultimately to help her Arabian gelding "Kid" and later her Andalusian stallion "Dragon," through some very trying times... 

As fate would have it, it was during this "pause" from horse training, that she spent much of her time intricately studying her own horses lameness and soundness patterns and developed what is now known as the "Balance Through Movement Method™." 

Today Celeste is considered an expert in equine biomechanics and classical development of the horse. She specializes in nerve release, thoracic sling and spinal integrity, and ultimately in creating sound horses...body, mind and spirit.

Celeste speaks and clinics world-wide, educating veterinarians, trainers and amateur owners alike, helping to solve many lameness issues that were once considered career or even life ending cases.

Welcome the New Year with Amber Lydic during our fourth episode of "My Magical Horse ~ The Podcast!" 

From being the naturally "sticky" rider as a kid to walking on hot coals at a Tony Robbins event as an adult, Amber's journey has led her to become certified in many modalities as she pursued finding what was "missing" in her own experience as a horse trainer. Her certifications included John Lyons Horsemanship, EAGALA, Theta Healing and Somatic Breath Work, Life Coaching and even Massage Therapy. 

Today Amber is combining these experiences while focusing primarily on the human component of the horse/human partnership through the numerous programs she's created in her business "The Art of Equine Alchemy."

Amber also co-hosts the podcast "Tea Time with Shayleigh and Amber" and has an online membership with Animal Communicator Shayleigh Evans called "Shayleigh and Amber's Tea House."

Amber has played a significant role in my own personal healing journey this past year and a half, ever since meeting in person at the very first Elements of Connection in Aptos, CA in 2023. 

In this episode, Amber and I talk about how her work today helps to clear the stories, traumas and/or limiting beliefs that are preventing you from connecting with yourself and your horses more deeply, plus so much more!

Join us for our second episode of "My Magical Horse ~ The Podcast" where I talk with Dr. Tracy Rainwaters, who I've had the pleasure of knowing for a few years now.

Tracy is a Human and Animal Chiropractor, a Shamanic Practitioner and an Interspecies Intuitive Channel. I've taken part in a variety of Tracy's offerings over the past couple of years, including what was my first ever Animal Communication Course. Later I invited her to teach an Introduction to Breath Work for Equestrians at one of my Working Equitation Clinics.

Tracy has also communicated with my Cane Corso, Vino, shortly after he passed, which transformed my beliefs about animal communication in many ways! Truly a life changing experience! I then dove into a Shamanic Healing Session with her and most recently took part in her 8-week "Alchemy of The Soul" Course.

In this episode Tracy and I talk about animals as expressions of love, the energetic frequency of all lifeforms, energetic boundaries and so much more!
