Your First Session — What Actually Happens

Whether you’re here for a private session, a group workshop, trauma-informed work, or horse-guided self-discovery — the shape is similar, and that’s on purpose. The rhythm is the medicine.

Step 1 — Before You Arrive

Once you book your exploration call, Lizette will connect with you personally to understand where you are and what you’re hoping to move through. She’ll answer your questions, share what to wear and bring, and confirm directions to the property. There’s nothing you need to prepare or rehearse.

Step 2 — When You Arrive

You’ll meet Lizette at her Huntsville, TX property — a calm, private outdoor setting with open fields and trees. After a short orientation, you’ll be introduced to the horses in a safe, unhurried way. The environment is designed to help you exhale.

Step 3 — The Session

Using the EGCMethod®, Lizette guides you through an experiential process alongside one or more horses. You won’t be riding — you’ll be present with the horses in a way that allows them to respond to your emotional energy authentically. What surfaces is often surprising, grounding, and clarifying.

Step 4 — After Your Session

Lizette closes the session with intentional reflection time. Many clients describe leaving with a sense of lightness, clarity, or breakthrough they hadn’t expected. Follow-up sessions build on what emerged.

“You don’t have to know what you need. The horses will notice what you’re carrying. Lizette will help you name it. That’s the work.”

HOW TO PREPARE

What to bring, what to wear

What to bring

  • A water bottle
  • A journal, if you like to write things down
  • An open mind — that’s the only requirement

You don’t need to bring anything else. Lizette has the rest.

What to wear

  • Comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little dusty
  • Closed-toe shoes (strongly recommended)
  • Layers in cooler months — sessions are outdoors
  • Leave strong perfumes and colognes at home — horses notice

The land is part of the work.

Many clients say the drive itself is part of the decompression.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Common questions

Do I need to know anything about horses?
No. Zero experience required. The horses do their part naturally — you only need to show up.
Is this therapy?
Equine Gestalt Coaching is a coaching modality, not licensed psychotherapy. It is experiential and body-centered, and it supports emotional growth and healing. If you are under the care of a therapist, this work can be a powerful complement.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes you don’t mind getting a little dusty. Closed-toe shoes are strongly recommended. Leave strong perfumes and colognes at home — horses notice.
How long is a session?
Session length varies by format (private vs. group). Lizette will confirm duration when you book.
How much does it cost?
Please contact Lizette directly for current session pricing and package options.
What if I get nervous around the horses?
That’s normal — and welcome. Lizette is trained to introduce you in a way that respects your nervous system. You’re always in choice about how close you want to be.
Can I bring a friend or partner for support?
Sometimes, depending on format. Mention it on the exploration call and Lizette will let you know what works for the session you’re booking.
