ABOUT KATHY PIKE
 

I have always valued the lessons found in nature.

During my twenties, I spent a great amount of time skiing, running rivers, biking, and horseback riding. These adventures took me all over the world and into remote locations in Alaska, Utah, Wyoming and Europe. Accomplishing physical goals increased my confidence and self-esteem. Quiet reflective moments feed my

spirit and filled me with energy.

In my thirties my focus shifted to helping and being of services to others. I receive a certification for Massage Therapy through the Heartwood Institutes in Garberville, California, and was then licensed in the state of Utah. Two years later I moved to Boulder, Colorado where I developed my Massage Therapy practice and studied Polarity Therapy and many other modalities of alternative healing. During this time, I also taught at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy and at Naropa School of Extended Studies.

I continued to seek new and different ways to help people. This led me to become a personal and professional coach through CoachU. I later became a class leader for CoachU. My coaching work naturally helps people to integrate their intuition and emotional awareness as they are making important life changing decisions. In 2001 I was drawn to move to the ocean and write. I lived for one year on the coast of Oregon where I wrote my first book, Pathways to a Radiant Self, A Journey of Growth and Discovery with the Chakras. Since then I have contributed to several magazine and publications such as Massage Magazine and Massage Therapy Journal.

During my early adventures years, I experienced a traumatic riding accident with a horse. The day of the accident I left my helmet and boots at the barn and never returned. Even though horses had always been my dream, I stayed away from them for ten years. Five years ago, horses began to appear in my life in very serendipitous ways. I listened to what life was presenting me and began to work with horses again. Learning natural horsemanship skills and also applying the Mind Body Method (a coaching process I developed in 2002) helped me heal my past trauma and form new highly rewarding relationships with these magnificent creatures. I saw the healing potential of bringing horses and humans together.

The desire to continue to increase my experience in this arena lead me to work with Linda Kohanov and Kathleen Barry Ingram at Epona Equestrian Services in Arizona. There I completed the year long study program and am now an Approved Epona Instructor. The processes I now use in working with people are a wonderful blend of all of my experiences with nature, mindfulness, intuition, and emotional intelligence. My clientele includes entrepenuers, executives, health care professionals, and individuals in sales, management and consulting positions. I work over the phone, or in person. I also facilitate groups and speak to larger audiences on topics of emotional intelligence, listening to your heart's compass and inspiring stories of leadership, personal power and healing through the way of the horse.
