About Mireille

Me%20on%20Friso_edited.jpg

Born in the Netherlands, my journey with horses began at a very young age. As a little girl, I spent countless hours riding our own horses and my grandfather’s ponies, observing their behavior, and caring for them. This passion evolved into riding lessons and competing, always with the horse’s health and happiness as my top priority. If they were not happy, I was not happy.

 

In 2000, my family and I, along with our horse and other animals, moved to Florida, USA. Here, I continued my involvement with our own horses at home, in barns, and within the community. While I was fortunate to keep my horses in my backyard, I noticed that many horses in barns struggled with their emotional and physical well-being for a variety of reasons.

 

A few years after moving to the States, my beloved horse sustained a permanent injury. This experience led me to explore holistic ways to support her health and well-being, opening a new chapter in my equine journey. I immersed myself and over the years graduated in various types of manual bodywork and therapeutic modalities, recognizing that, like people, horses are individuals with their own personalities, issues, and preferences.

 

My passion for horses is profound and unwavering. From the moment I was born, I felt a natural connection with them. It is clear they have been preparing me for this path all along, as they taught me how to listen & communicate with them. My mission is to help as many horses as possible achieve optimal physical, emotional & spiritual health & happiness, including yours.
