Come and listen while Host Joyce Benning interviews extraordinary people on her Robust Lifestyles Podcasts only on the Divas That Care Network. \xa0#DivasThatCare\n\nI was raised on a farm from the age of four and even at a young age I felt deeply connected to the openness, Mother Nature and of course animals. I didn\u2019t start off then with a horse of my own, but through my Uncle Maurice\u2019s insistence, \u201cShe needs a horse,\u201d I received one shortly thereafter.\n\nIt wasn\u2019t until later in my life that I learned just how majestic horses really are. This pulled me into a journey to understand them more, which led me to taking an Equine Assisted Learning Certification course. In addition to that I began reading voraciously, going to horse barns, clinics and taking my own horse to clinics as well. I wanted to deeply understand how horses created this feeling of aliveness and joy within me, just by being around them.\n\nAt the same time, when I started asking myself deeper questions about the direction for my career and life, I kept being pulled to work with horses. I felt I needed to develop the inner gifts of spiritual connection I already possessed. In my heart I knew I was born to be of service, to help people \u2013 but I didn\u2019t know what that looked like. During my own life I had experienced my own share of pain, grief and loss of self to a point of feeling my spirit was broken. With the help and love of a special person I found my way back to me.\n\nSo this is a little about my background and my WHY for what I am offering.\n\njoannerouthier.com/
