Åsa is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Gestalt Equine Psychotherapist, Centered Riding Level I Instructor and Harmony Horsemanship Level III clinician and holds certificates in Conscious Nutrition, and Sivananda Yoga. She has dedicated the past 20 years to working with adolescents and adults who suffer from anxiety, trauma, addiction and eating disorders. 

Åsa is the founder of The Institute for Equine Assisted Practices INC and is currently seeing clients and offering trainings at her barn in Auburn, CA.  She has developed her own treatment modality called Embodied Equine Psychotherapy™, and holds certification courses yearly. 

Embodied Equine Psychotherapy, was created to help clients reconnect with the truth of who they are. Sessions guide clients through the layers of old beliefs, traumas and protective barriers to find - who you are now. From this place, clients make choices that are aligned in the moment feeling both powerful and soft, free and connected.

Åsa is passionate about using her training and personal experience to help others move beyond fear and limitations to a life of freedom and trust.  She believes that we all have unique gifts and talents. “Dream big and do what you love”, is her motto, which often becomes a goal for her clients.

Åsa has had many equine partners who have assisted her in her growth as a human and as a horse woman. She is committed to her own continued inward journey, utilizing yoga, meditation and her time with her horses to guide her to a deep, authentic place, and connect to her InnerLight. 

"I love seeing the change in people and horses when they experience true connection through vulnerability" - Åsa Woodman
