What Do I Need to Bring/ Wear?

It is best to dress in jeans and/or comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Shorts are fine in the summer. You may want to bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. In the winter, bring layers as we’re outdoors.
It is best to wear comfortable closed-toed shoes like tennis shoes or boots. No open toed shoes please.

The teaching you did yesterday in the round pen was deep and profound. I am impressed and encouraged for our planet that you are doing the work that you are.
Dr. Harold Jules Hoyle, Santa Clara University Lecturer
Even though I had heard people rave about working with the horses, I was very skeptical before I attended Diane’s workshop because my academic training in computer science taught me to always test theories and seek proof. Happily my experience was completely different from what I expected, and my work with clients and leading groups has improved immensely as a result. My experiences in the round pen, as well as watching others, was deeply transforming as I learned how to accept feedback and become open in a way that is more powerful than I ever imagined. Diane has a remarkable gift for recognizing what people need and when they need it. Her compassion for me when I was struggled was healing and empowering at the same time. And the horses… well, they are probably the best teachers I’ve ever met: patient, responsive, and penultimately clear. Working with Diane and the horses is an opportunity that I wish I had had much earlier in my life and my career!
Laurie Foley, Ph.D., Brand Strategist
Working with Diane and the horses was a truly amazing experience, one that I hope to experience again. Diane has a beautiful personality, has tremendous knowledge and her instincts are spot on. As a coach she is brilliant and her ability to bring awareness of the importance of communication is unbelievable. My time with Diane has changed how I interact and communicate every day with my friends, family, people I don’t even know and my own clients. I highly recommend this work to anyone and everyone. This was a truly amazing experience, one I won’t ever forget.
Josh Smith, HeartSpace Impressions, Perth, Western Australia
It was fate and a true leap of faith which led me to attend a private workshop with Diane in San Jose, CA. I arrived with no expectations, no experience in this area and no agenda, just a whole lot of self judgement and a ton of limiting beliefs! Diane’s gentle and encouraging nature facilitated unbelievable transformations within me, as I experienced shift after shift within my mindset. I discovered more about myself during those 5 hours than I ever have, living inside my 39 year old self!! I was literally ‘buzzing’ for months after my experience with the horses and Diane. I have since returned to Australia, and consider Diane a lifelong friend. She has had such a significant influence in my life, providing me with the skills and strategies to effectively create a more authentic me! I’m now more in tune to my heart and aligned with my core purpose and that simply is : to live, to love and to grow. So inspirational was her energy and work, that I recently enrolled in a Certificate IV in Life Coaching course!

I have been flying all day from my short encounter with the horses and your beautiful work. What true teachers they are. I have shared my experience with four of the most important people in my life…I was moved to say the least

Jasmine Jasmine Van Driessche, Owner & Co-Creator JACARA – Therapeutic Skin Care
The experience working with Diane and the horses was an eye-opener to an inner experience and gave me a reference point to work with moving forward. The potency and power of the interaction with the horses provided a magnifying glass and Diane helped with the fine details. She is very wise and warm. No therapy session will bring you closer to this inner junction.
