ABOUT
🐴 About Harmony & Horses
Rooted in connection. Guided by horses. Created with heart.
Harmony & Horses was created as a space where humans and animals come together for connection, growth, and healing.
What began as a vision has grown into a place where children, families, and adults can step out of traditional environments and into something more experiential, relational, and meaningful.
Here, learning and healing do not happen through pressure or performance. They happen through presence, relationship, and connection with horses, animals, and the land.
🌿 Meet Nicole
Hi, I’m Nicole, founder and Executive Director of Harmony & Horses.
I am so honored to guide this work and to support individuals and families in finding connection, confidence, and a deeper sense of well-being through their experiences here.
My background includes a Master’s degree in School Psychology, a California Pupil Personnel Services credential, and certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I am also certified through EAL Academy to facilitate equine assisted learning and meditation with horses.
For almost 20 years, I have worked with neurodivergent children and their families in both school and home settings. My work is rooted in a neurodiversity-affirming approach that honors each individual’s unique way of learning, communicating, and experiencing the world.
As a mother of neurodivergent daughters, this work is deeply personal. Through my own family, I have witnessed the profound impact that experiential learning and connection with animals can have on confidence, regulation, and self-trust.
🌾 Our Approach
At Harmony & Horses, we meet each person exactly where they are.
Rather than following rigid programs or expectations, we create space for learning and growth to unfold naturally through experience. Whether working with children, families, or adults, the focus is always on connection, presence, and meaningful engagement.
Horses play a central role in this process. Their sensitivity and awareness offer immediate, honest feedback that supports emotional awareness, communication, and self-understanding.
Our work now extends beyond the horses to include the full farm environment, creating opportunities for connection with other animals, nature, and the land itself.
🌿 A Path to Healing
In addition to my work in education and equine assisted learning, I am deeply called to offer wellness experiences through meditation, mindfulness, and sound.
My own journey with healing began during a time of chronic pain and deep emotional struggle. After exploring many traditional approaches without relief, I discovered sound healing and experienced a profound shift. Over time, this led to a complete transformation in my relationship with my body and my well-being.
Alongside this, my connection with horses deepened in a way that expanded my understanding of presence, awareness, and healing.
These experiences continue to shape the work I offer today.
💛 The Heart of This Work
Harmony & Horses is more than a program.
It is a space where:
Children are free to be themselves
Families can reconnect and grow together
Adults can slow down and find clarity
And all individuals are met with respect, compassion, and acceptance
Every experience here is unique.
Whether you are seeking support for your child, connection for your family, or a moment of stillness for yourself, you are welcome exactly as you are.
✨ An Invitation
It would be an honor to support you and your family on your journey.
Whatever brings you here, we look forward to walking alongside you and seeing what unfolds.
