For Veterans, First Responders & Anyone Navigating Loss

Equine-Assisted Grief Coaching

Horses don’t fix you. They hold space. They witness truth. You are not meant to carry this weight alone.

A New Path Through Grief

After years of working alongside horses in physical healing, I completed certification in grief coaching.
Now I offer Good Grief & Grace — a six-session equine-assisted coaching program built for those who’ve seen too much: veterans, first responders, and anyone standing in the quiet strength of loss.

In the field, the stable, the pasture — horses teach presence, regulation, and truth. This program is not therapy. It’s support. The horse doesn’t ask you to be okay. It asks you to be real.

The Horse as Healer

  • Coaching Rooted in Presence

    Good Grief & Grace is not about recovery — it’s about relationship: with yourself, with what was lost, and with the life that still remains.

    Together, we explore the skills horses live by — awareness, trust, acceptance — and rebuild the quiet courage to keep living.

  • Horses live in truth

    They sense what’s real long before we name it. Through breath, movement, and stillness, they mirror what the body holds and offer a calm rhythm for release.

    Each session allows space for your nervous system to settle and for your story to unfold safely. The horse leads with presence. You follow with honesty. That’s where healing begins.

Good Shepherd Gabriel

I’m Gabriel Gandzjuk — an equine bodyworker, grief coach, and student of what horses can teach us about being human.

For years, I’ve worked with horses as teachers of stillness, connection, and trust. My practice began with equine bodywork and evolved naturally into emotional coaching as I witnessed how horses mirror our nervous systems and our truth.
