Tonight's special guest is Melisa Pearce from Elizabeth, Colorado, an Equine Gestalt Coach who will be joined by Evie Rose, who assists on the 'Touch By A Horse' ranch with the clients and animals. Melisa Pearce is a teacher, author, psychotherapist and pioneer in the field of the human/horse healing. Over the last three decades, she has coached and helped others through her private psychotherapy practice and partnership with horses. This partnership with horses led her to create the Equine Gestalt Coaching Method. At the core of her approach lies her deep understanding of the transformative power of one of the most important contributions of humanistic psychology – Gestalt therapy. As a Gestaltist, Melisa has guided thousands of clients through their unfinished business to a level of self-awareness that allows room for personal responsibility and a life of self-compassion. Melisa's recent book asks the pertinent  question, “What the Heck Is Gestalt?”, and it  makes the theory and practice of Gestalt accessible to anyone interested in Gestalt. Melisa has bred, shown and raised horses for over 30 years, giving her a deep understanding of their natures. She won two World Championship American Paint Horse Association awards, has bred over 200 foals, and owns multiple ranches. She continues to lecture nationally at major equine events such as the Midwest Horse Fair. Melisa believes that a horses' true purpose on this planet is to be healers. They never ask why. They live in the present moment. They are not interested in what we think, and they are highly tuned in to how we feel.
