In 2010 Kristina began her professional career as a horse trainer.

Michelle Lannan


Michelle’s equestrian career path was charted at an early age like many young girls fascinated with horses. She attended Equissage earning a certificate in Equine Sports Massage Therapy and began an internship as a large animal vet technician. Clinics and workshops garnered knowledge and wisdom from some of the most gifted and accomplished Equestrians of our times including Michael Page, Ralph Hill and Richard Shrake.  She graciously accepted an opportunity to train her own horses under the tutelage of Jacek Wierchowiecki. Wierchowiecki, a two time olympic competitor, (Munich 1972 and Moscow 1980), coach to the Polish Team Eventing Squad 1980-1987 was awarded the FEI Gold Badge of Honor for his work in equestrian sports. The quality of the horse-human connection is the foundation that everything else will be built upon. “I figured out that communication was paramount to successful training. When the horse is comfortable, and understands what’s being asked of them, they are usually a pretty willing partner.” Michelle remains active in the equine community as an instructor, consultant and Equine Specialist for Ignite.

I’m Jordyn, a Licensed Associate Counselor with a passion for supporting individuals, couples, and families on their path toward healing and growth. I provide a genuine, nonjudgmental approach to create a space where clients can navigate challenges, discover inner strength, and cultivate meaningful relationships. My therapeutic approaches are rooted in emotion-focused therapy (EFT) and family systems, recognizing the power of connection within relationships. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR to assist clients in overcoming and reprocessing trauma. Whether you’re seeking support for personal growth, navigating relationship issues, or addressing family dynamics, I am here to guide you toward positive change.
As a lifelong equestrian, I understand the profound impact that the presence of horses can have within our collaborative work. Equine-assisted psychotherapy reveals a realm of magic that encompasses trust, connection, emotional growth, and relationship repair. Horses embody many of the qualities that so many of us actively seek in our personal lives and relationships! I am eager and ready to stand beside you on your path toward healing and growth.

I specialize in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Brainspotting, and EMDR. For clients with a creative side, I also enjoy incorporating therapeutic art activities into sessions to encourage expression, reflection, and new perspectives. My work is rooted in a deep respect for horses and a holistic approach to therapy where healing happens on multiple levels: mind, body, and spirit. I work primarily with adults, with a special focus on veterans, first responders, medical personnel, and individuals within the horse community. My goal is to help clients navigate past trauma, major life transitions, stress, and anxiety while supporting them in achieving their goals and healing with horsepower.
