Equine-Assisted Coaching
Six Feet Grounded is the equine-assisted coaching practice of Sarah DeParis in Sonoma County, CA.
Humans have two feet, and horses have four. When these two come together, something intangible and powerful can happen.
Equine-assisted coaching is the practice of personal development in partnership with horses.
We learn life skills such as presence, awareness, and boundaries from partnering with amazing animals that have boundless wisdom and feedback due to their inherently sensitive nature.
It is also a play on words, but not meant to be trite.
Ten years into my surgical practice, I was nearly six feet under, having burned out spectacularly, struggling with severe depression and anxiety, feeling disconnected from myself and my purpose. Horses brought me back to planet Earth and back into my own body. I wanted to bring that healing experience to others, and thus Six Feet Grounded was born.
