"Dr. Pernilla Nathan is the talent and vision of Equipsy Performance and I want to take a moment to recognize how she has changed my life.  Not only is Dr. Nathan constantly challenging me to look beyond my personal boundaries but more so to expand and grow into my goals.  She continues to help me realize the power we have to believe in ourselves and push through the discomforts that bring so much growth and strength.  When I first starting working with Dr. Nathan I had a fear of being in the show ring and making a rash decision that could end up hurting my horse, I found that fear was debilitating enough to make me freeze up and void my true passion, which is the connection with the horse.  Since discovering this fear and continuing to working through it, I have changed in the show ring and have become, what I feel, is a much more confident rider and always striving to be the best partner I can be for my horse.  It's not easy to try and understand fears, nor to work through them, but Dr. Nathan has given me the power to feel empowered to work through them.  For that, I am forever grateful and cannot speak highly enough of her and her work."

"I started working with Pernilla when I was deep in the grief process after losing my mare. I was also feeling stuck within my life and was struggling to develop my business. Pernilla helped me to listen to my inner wisdom and desires so that I was able to start moving forward with my life. Another aspect of the work we did together that was hugely helpful was in identifying the true cause behind the anxiety and discomfort I was feeling. This helped me to understand myself more deeply and make choices that aligned with what I truly wanted.

One unexpected benefit I experienced was huge progress in my riding. My riding got better with far less effort on my part and my partnership with my horse developed exponentially."

"I can’t say enough amazing things about working with Pernilla. Over the past two years she has been the key component to my success in the ring and getting into dental school. But it truly isn’t about the reaching those goals that makes me love working with Pernilla, it’s how she inspired me to fall in love with the process the good and bad. Pernilla in a gentle and guiding way helped me see how elevating my thought process and protecting my energy could ultimately refocus my passion for riding and studying for Dental Admission Test. In the first session I knew Pernilla was a perfect match for me, she asked me questions, got to know my goals and passions and suggested alternate perspectives to my narrow focused mindset (winning the 1.20 after a 6 month break!). The words from my first session that still stick with me are “be curious and have fun”. This has become my life mantra and I would not have reached these up leveling moments in life without her guidance."

"I asked Pernilla for help with "my riding," but she gave me so much more. She taught me that my habitual responses to stress weren’t helping me. And by trying to control my riding and I wasn’t going to get results.

Thank you Pernilla. I’m eternally grateful."

"I have overcome fears..."

Pernilla has literally changed my riding and my life. I have overcome fears that I have been dealing with for years (and) the best part was how quickly my riding shifted. It was amazing! I also saw shifts in my life too, especially in my work. I absolutely adore Pernilla and always looked forward to our sessions.

"Pernilla has become a supportive partner and coach. She has helped our daughter develop a competitive edge by equipping her with tools to improve her resilience and her ability to overcome challenges.

As a result, her positive mindset and elevated focus has made a huge difference in her riding!"

 "I would highly recommend Pernilla to anyone dealing with challenges in their riding or if they’re just looking general improvement with their mindset and focus. Her counseling has also impacted my personal life in many great ways."
