Vicki Watson, CPCC

Certified Transformational Life Coach

Life is filled with transitions---those we’re prepared for and those that are thrust upon us when we least expect it. No matter how these transitions arrive, there are ways to navigate transition that leave us healthier, happier, and finally, whole.
TRANSITION is often thrust upon us---it seems to happen out of nowhere, the circumstances beyond our control. More often than not, times of transition are devastating and extremely difficult, making us question our ability to weather the unexpected emotional storm. However, through your partnership with Vicki, undiscovered assets and untapped power emerge, providing new perspective and renewed strength. These newly-discovered abilities ultimately result in renewed confidence and, finally, joy.

Susie and Tom Willoth:
"Our family moved out to our Lake County ranch in 2002 with the intent and passion of providing a center not only for mainstream riders, but providing the desperately needed equine-facilitated (therapeutic riding on horseback) program for those with both physical and emotional needs. We picked this particular area for the size of land, as well as the beautiful changes each season brings. We are fortunate enough to have miles of privately owned trails for both horseback riding and hiking. We have sweeping views of Mount St. Helena, Cobb Mountain and Hidden Valley."
