We Certify Horse Loving Professionals in Equine Assisted Health & Wellness Coaching!

WISE Model coaches are prepared to coach with and without horses.  Our students work online, in a digital environment, on the farm with horses, or anywhere else they wish to connect with their clients.

Welcome to

WISE Life Coach Academy's Virtual Barnyard

where horse loving professionals, that are interested in improving the health and wellness of others, are invited to embark on a transformative journey. 

WISE Life Coach Academy wants our coaches to have a wonderful life full of freedom, flexibility and and time.  While they are becoming exceptional WISE coaches, our clients are also learning how to coach digitally (for example on Zoom), create online courses, clubs and memberships that support their horse coaching programs.  We call this strategy " Online to Equine."   WISE Coaches may have their own farms or rent facilities to host retreats using this framework.  It is very easy to adapt to the needs of our coaches.

Our innovative and comprehensive health and wellness model, known as the WISE Model, is meticulously crafted to guide individuals through a seamless transition between online coaching and course creation to facilitating sessions with the horses. 

At WISE Life Coach Academy, we are dedicated to empowering your coaching business by unlocking it's full potential, while fostering a unique environment that promotes continuous growth, innovation, and excellence.  

Whether you are drawn to our on-the-ground coaching with the horses or aspire to make a significant digital impact in the health of others, WISE Life Coach Academy stands as your committed partner in shaping a coaching destiny that goes beyond ordinary. Join us in this transformative adventure, where coaching becomes a catalyst for lasting change and inspiration.
