My Message to You
Press the Play button to learn how horses coach humans to a better life
Hello! My name is Correna Woods. As a Gestaltist, I partner with horses to promote healing and improved quality of life through healthy, compassionate communication, and nurturing touch. I coactively work with clients to help them unlock their potential, find their voice, and answers they hold within.
My education and professional career have allowed me the opportunities to travel and immerse myself in cultures across the globe and beyond my front door. I have experienced the joys and pains associated with survival, abuse, grief, serving to protect, and addiction.
My experiences have led me to many cultures, assisting children and families at risk and underserved. I serves as an advocate for others and what they really want, which may lead to calling people on their “horse poop” and navigating patterns and limiting beliefs that have kept them idle or held back.
A letter to you, Seeker of Freedom:
Thank you for taking the time to explore this site. I have an understanding of what you may be going through. Wood’s Freedom Farm is a place to find your clarity. It is a place to find your voice.
My wish for you is that you fully believe you have nothing to lose but the pain in your body, the fog in your head, and the numbness in your soul.
My wish for you is that you are able to find your strength to make your own choices again and recognize your essential gifts.
When you are ready, and I hope that you are, you can take your first step to freedom by reaching out today.
In Clarity,
Correna

In my equine gestalt programs, I support healthy communications for those clients who have experienced trauma in their work environment, at home, or in their own childhood. Clients who need something more to believe in and are in search of their own worth, will deeply benefit from this type of work. My clients will uncover their own values during our work together. Clients will feel the benefits of having a 1200 lb equine partner along with myself in a safe, compassionate environment where there is no judgment, no opinion, no advice. Working together in this type of coaching can only be experienced. It cannot truly be explained. Every person has their own individual perceptions, feelings, and awareness. I set up the steps needed for healing through co-active questions, creative gestalt with the horses and an environment of peace and discovery. Our practice provides a place for moving forward in life. The horses’ partner with our clients willingly to create lasting change and acceptance that feels empowering and true.
I offer 1:1 and Group Services
I offer both 1 to 1 and group services so you can experience Gestalt in the perfect format for you.
Scientifically proven method
The EGCMethod has been proven in an independent study. More than 96% of study respondents found they felt better after an EGC session than they did at its beginning.
developed by melisa pearce, founder of touched by a horse
The Equine Gestalt Coaching Method was developed by Melisa Pearce, a core founder since 1989, of the horse-human healing movement. The experiential nature of the method involves the horse as an active partner with the coach in the client’s exploratory process. The integrative approach of the equine’s interaction combined with positive coaching, somatic awareness, guidance and Gestalt Methodology, assist the client in examining their life and choices made with a focus on designing a positive future.
Experience the wisdom of horses!
The horses have a
message for you!
“The horse is a mirror to your soul. Sometimes you might not like what you see and sometimes you will.”
Who can benefit from Equine Gestalt Coaching?
In any situation where life changes, there is trauma, or an incident has deeply affected you — or when you want to clear past influences out of your way to growth, EGCM can benefit you. EGCM is not psychotherapy, although it is sometimes used in conjunction with a therapy program. You can benefit from EGCM regardless of whether you’re in a therapy program or not.
