Mane and Soul

From Corporate Hustle to Horse Wisdom

I’m Liz — a woman who spent years chasing all the things I thought would make me feel whole: success, love, approval, control.

I was born in Toronto and raised in Los Angeles, a shy, sensitive kid who found her calm among horses. They didn’t judge. They didn’t pretend. They just were — and that steadiness stayed with me.

Still, I did what I was supposed to. I went to college where I was told to go, built a career that looked impressive on paper, and learned to outrun my anxiety with busyness — six marathons, business school at NYU, and a string of promotions that left me breathless in every sense of the word.

Underneath it all, I was quietly wondering: When does peace come?

It came slowly. Through therapy and yoga. Through heartbreak and divorce. Through the terrifying relief of leaving the corporate world and moving to the desert with my horses.

Here in Tucson, I’ve learned a different kind of strength — one rooted in presence instead of performance.
The horses taught me to breathe again, to trust my body’s knowing, and to remember that leadership begins in softness, not striving.

Now I guide other women — especially those 50 and beyond — through that same homecoming.
Through breathwork, intuitive coaching, and the mirroring wisdom of horses, I help women shift from anxious and overextended to calm, clear, and alive.

Because we don’t lose ourselves with age — we uncover ourselves.
And when we do, we find that the power we’ve been chasing was never out there. It’s been breathing quietly inside us all along.
