Client Specific Methods

True Gait’s coaching process sculpts away inherent talent and strengths that each one of us possesses. It amplifies the good that is already within, pulling it out into the open to flourish. It is up to the individual to navigate through one’s own path, utilizing the coach as a guide in a collaborative partnership to achieving a desired outcome. Present and future driven efforts as well as strength-based techniques are utilized versus deficit-oriented and past rooted analyses. Tapping on what appears to be working well today and building on these prospectively, rather than what needs to be fixed or what is lacking. True Gait is a creative, caring and compassionate process in coaching that cultivates active listening, energy sharing and a versatile approach tailor-fitted to the individual.

True Gait presents a toolbox of strength-based, positive techniques. Through an experiential method, the process utilizes a creative style to the coaching space that extends beyond physical walls or a structured space. Although each client presents different needs, the customized strategy will interweave the uses of Equine Assisted Facilitation, Nature & Biomimicry, and Art. 

Equine Assisted Facilitation

True Gait includes but is not limited to the partnership with horses in the coaching process. This is absolutely optional for the client. Why horses? True Gait believes the partnership with horses can help the coaching process immensely.  

“Horses can guide us to find our way through the challenging terrain of our lives, toward wholeness and wellbeing. Horses are remarkable teachers of relationship and facilitators of human development. They have an amazing ability to resonate with our true emotions and reflect back to us our authentic self.”

In the emerging fields of equine-assisted psychotherapy, equine-facilitated learning and equine-guided leadership development, horses support individuals, families and teams through action-oriented learning experiences that are immediately applicable to real life issues and work dilemmas.
