We educate WISE Equine Assisted Life Coaches and mentor them as they build businesses with freedom, impact and horseplay!
Therapists and Equine Specialists are working hard to change lives. There are no days off, no vacations and it is demanding, stressful and sometimes overwhelming to build an equine assisted healing business, maintain a farm, care for horses as well as a family, a full-time job and maybe a little selfcare. I should know. I lived it. I thought it would be a dream come true.
Why I Sold The Farm and Went Online to Equine
Unfortunately there are only so many hours in a day. If you have a horse business, or want one, with a lot of freedom, flexibility, and the ability to do horse sessions whenever you want to , then WISE Academy may be for you. I wanted the freedom to do horse sessions on my time but I also wanted to be able to travel and enjoy time off with my loved ones. I wanted to simplify my life and create an opportunity for a little more selfcare. I wanted horses in my life too. I figured out a way I could have it all.
WISE Academy of Wisdom Ranch is for you if:
You love seeing the transformation that the horses help create in your clients but don't necessarily have the desire, time, or means to have a thriving horse farm? Maybe you have other things that you would like to invest time and money in? Selfcare, travel, time with your family, kids and friends? Traditionally, adding more hours to your already busy day is the only way you can scale your horse therapy business. What if there was another way?
How WISE Academy is Different:
Wisdom Ranch can teach you to do this work online to equine. We support you as you create your online group program AND help you develop the tools needed to work with your clients and horses. This way you can work as much or as little as you want or need to. You can have clients from all over the country! Then, you can invite those clients to retreats at your farm or another facility anywhere in the country or even the world! With our program you do not need to even own horses. You can lease space and horses from other farms and facilities, even horse rescues! You are doing a good thing for yourself and helping other horse lovers (as well as the horses). This makes great business sense!
Why Online to Equine Strategy is Great Business Sense:
Imagine you have an online course (don't panic! We will help you create it) that teaches psychoeducational content to your clients (yep! we will help you create that too). Then, you meet with clients on Zoom or the phone in a group program for one or two hours a week. The cherry on top is you can invite these online clients to a retreat to enhance your coaching transformation.
This is high touch and high impact coaching for your clients. It is also relatively cheap to run a digital business. You could pay for the horses and facility only when you are doing retreats if you like. Or, you could support your farm with your online program and have more time do work with your own horses. Creating a life on your terms is WISE. We are all about building a business around our needs and not letting that business run us.
The beauty of WISE is we support you as you set up your business to enhance your desired lifestyle.
Delena's Story:
Last year I sold my farm and moved into town. I've never been happier. The worry and stress of hay prices, keeping the fencing up, feeding and caring for my beloved horses was overwhelming. I cracked. I knew something had to change. My kids did not like living where I did business. They felt they had to stay inside when I had clients over. When I finally decided to stop identifying myself as a farm owner and start identifying myself as a horse lover and entrepreneur that wanted to create a better life for herself it all became clear. I needed to move on. Now, I work with horses from multiple facilities when I want to. I can work with clients 8 hours a month and schedule retreats as many weekends as I like to get my horse time. It is truly freeing and invigorating and all the best parts of doing the work with none of the overwhelm or stressors I was suffering from before. Does this sound like you? Is it time for a little "online to equine strategy" in your life? If so, I cannot wait to work with you!
