Coaching with horses is powerful, sacred work—but it can also feel overwhelming, lonely, or unclear. That’s where Wisdom Ranch comes in.
At Wisdom Ranch, we equip heart-led practitioners like you with the tools, training, and support to confidently coach with horses, create transformative client experiences, and build a fulfilling equine-assisted business.
Founder of Wisdom Ranch, LLC & WISE Life Coach Academy
Coach | Educator | Visionary Leader in Equine-Assisted Work
Hi, I’m Delena — a professor, curriculum creator, and the founder of Wisdom Ranch and the WISE Life Coach Academy. With over two decades of experience teaching at Macomb Community College and a deep love for horses and healing, I’ve dedicated my life to helping others step into their purpose and confidently build equine-assisted businesses that change lives.
As the creator of the WISE Model of Coaching, I’ve developed a simple, powerful approach to client transformation. This model is used by coaches, therapists, and equine professionals nationwide who want to lead with confidence, structure, and wisdom.
After years of running my own equine facility, I decided to sell the farm. And guess what? It was the right decision for me.
Now, I lease space and horses at partner facilities—and I love it.
Working at different barns allows me to support other farm owners, experience a variety of beautiful environments, and pour even more energy into my clients and my programs.
Many people are surprised when I tell them I no longer have my own facility. There are so many ways to do this work.
You don’t need to own land, a barn, or a herd to create real impact.
At Wisdom Ranch, I help coaches, therapists, and equine professionals just like you:
✔ Learn to coach with confidence using the WISE Model
✔ Build and sell their equine-assisted programs
✔ Grow digital products that bring in clients and income
✔ Create more freedom, alignment, and joy in their businesses
Whether you’re just starting or ready to scale, I’m here to support you with practical tools, strategy, and mentorship that works.
To support the helpers, healers, and horse lovers who are called to make a difference.
We believe that when you are supported—with real curriculum, coaching methodology, business strategy, and a caring community—you can serve more people, increase your impact, and build a life that aligns with your purpose.
