In 2014, Jennifer founded The Mane Intent, located east of Peterborough, offering virtual and in-person psychotherapy, equine-assisted psychotherapy, health and wellness workshops, individual and team effectiveness coaching and leadership development.  Our equine-inspired programming is informed by the FEEL™ approach, EQUSOMA™ – Somatic Experiencing® Skills for Equine-Facilitated Practitioners and Fundamentals of Natural Lifemanship training in Traum-Focused Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy and Somatic Experiencing® Professional Training (Intermediate), and the work of Paula Josa-Jones, SEP Practitioner and Author, Our Horses, Our Selves.\n\n\n\nGuest Facilitator: \n\n\n\n\nThu Nguyen is a leadership coach (PCC, CPCC) and body intelligence facilitator at Nusqool ( https://nusqool.net/about-thu ) and is a fellow coach at BetterUp. Over 12 years ago she had a near death experience and subsequently diagnosed with all the stress related illnesses: cancer, diabetes and asthma which changed the trajectory of her engineering career. That big wake up call shifted her focus into exploring the world of wisdom traditions of healing and community. \n\n\n\nShe has 8 years of experience with Vipassana meditation, 5 years of Qi Gong and Tai Chi practice. She is a space holder for circles, facilitator of Gender Equity and Reconciliation courses and Trauma Release Exercises. As of 2020, she no longer has cancer and is managing diabetes and asthma the best she can. She generously shares the modalities, mentors, books and resources that have worked for her as she meets others on the path from the head to the heart. She is always exploring ways to support purpose driven entrepreneurs, creatives and creators of new systems to reconnect with their heart, body and spirit and recover from burn-out.\n\n\n\nAs part of her coaching practice, Thu supports values-based leaders in Fortune 500 companies, professors in academia, and social change leaders in non-profits. She continues to learn and introduce various frameworks of behaviour change and tools that help clients increase their awareness, shift in perspectives and be fully resourced to show up as leaders with authenticity and purpose.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister now for the workshop ( https://themaneintent.ca/workshop-registration/ )\n\n
