TO ACCOMPANY YOU ON THIS JOURNEY:
LINDA KOHANOV
Linda Kohanov, bestselling author of five books, including The Tao of Equus (2001) and The Power of the Herd (2013), has worked with many mental health professionals over the years to provide equine-facilitated interventions for people in crisis.

Her apprenticeship is now taught both in the USA as well as in Europe.
Dr REBECCA BAILEY
Rebecca Bailey, PhD, is a leading family psychologist and personal therapist. The founder of Transitioning Families, Dr. Bailey has worked with law enforcement and the FBI to raise awareness and sensitivity to the issues that victims of rape, kidnapping and other crimes face in surviving these extreme experiences, reuniting with their families and healing. She has worked with hundreds of individuals and families in crisis.
Note: Dr. Rebecca Bailey will be presenting the 2022 workshop in Europe in person.
With expert co-facilitators:
CECILE GILBERT-KAWANO
Cécile accompanies people through co-development, emotional and relational intelligence, and somatic approach. She is an Advanced Eponaquest Instructor and a Somatic Experiencing© and SOMA Embodiment© practitioner. She likes to help people to “take back the reins of their life” (with or without horses) to facilitate their transformations and healing.
Cécile offers the Eponaquest Apprenticeship in France to people who wish to become Eponaquest Instructor. She co-facilitated the first European Healing the Herd – Connection Focused Therapy Workshop in Essen with Linda Kohanov in 2021.
ANNE MATHIEU
Creator of the “Riding the Tiger©” curriculum, Anne has been accompanying women and children who are victims of violence and all people who have suffered trauma or are in a situation of emotional fragility since 2014 by combining her behavioral expertise with horses and humans.
Anne offers individual sessions, group workshops, trainings and seminars for individuals, institutions and companies with an experiential approach with or without horses.
She founded VITAO 12 years ago and lives with her horses in the heart of a 15-hectare hardwood forest in Aubiac (33) in the South of Gironde.
She is a Somatic Experiencing© practitioner, an Emotion’Aid© trainer, an Eponaquest© instructor, a certified Connection Focused Therapy© facilitator horse professional and a Feng-Shui practitioner.
BABS JASPER
In her coachings Babs works with individuals who are intrinsically motivated to work on their personal development and leadership to find new ways in their lives. A lot of them delt or are still dealing with trauma or PTSD. In the end, Babs believes that everyone of us developed trauma’s on their way to maturity, and these experiences always turn out to be our greatest learningsteps and, funny enough, reveal our biggest talents.
She gets a lot of energy in training the ‘trainers’ in the CFT essential and in facilitating the Eponaquest curriculum in the Netherlands. These trainings always deepen her knowledge and understanding of human behaviour.
Babs has a Msc in Biology, with a specialisation in (psycho)-neuro-immunology. The work of Porges was the last missing link. She combines her knowledge of equine facilitated learning (Eponaquest), emotional intelligence and the polyvagal theory also as a consultant in healthcare, where she advocates for more (emotional) awareness.
HORSES
A small herd of horses will be our partners in the practice sessions in the workshop.
