Life coach and interspecies communicator, Koelle Simpson, offers a new perspective on communication and trust development. She is honored to have received extraordinary educational experiences and opportunities with individuals who are working hard to have a positive impact on the world. Her mission in life is to help others rebuild trust in themselves and in their relationships with others through a better understanding of communication.
Koelle was a student of world-renowned equine trainer and best-selling author Monty Roberts, known as “The Horse Whisperer”. Koelle was given the opportunity to learn first hand from Mr. Roberts, conducting speaking engagements, workshops, demonstrations and partaking in touring events. During this time Koelle helped troubled individuals and corporations rebuild trust and redefine their approach to communication using the non-verbal language of horses.
As a survivor of childhood abuse, Koelle was well aware of the incredible impact horses had made on her journey to recovery. Yet, she was amazed to discover what a powerful partner the horse can be by helping people transform their normally conflicting communication skills to communication skills that were clear, trust-worthy and exemplified compassionate leadership.
To further expand on her education, Koelle accepted the honor of apprenticeship with life coach, best-selling author and Oprah columnist, Dr. Martha Beck. The time and training spent with Dr. Beck enabled Koelle to obtain a more thorough understanding of the parallels between helping a trouble horse and helping a trouble individual regain the directions to a great life.
