A lifelong love of horses, combined with a strong belief in the value of experiential learning and an intense desire to help others, naturally led her to EAL. From operating heavy equipment, to earning a couple of university degrees, partnering in a three-generation family business, and achieving certification as an elementary Montessori teacher and Homeopath, and training in transformational coaching, facilitation and leadership, she now draws upon her training, skills and experiences to head up our adult programs and facility development. As the youth and teen facilitation have transferred to the oh-so-capable hands of Betty and Connor, Kathy set her sites on bringing fun back into the lives of grownups through programming that explores possibility, inspires action and awakens passion. Whether she's facilitating a session, tending the herd, working on curriculum design, greasing farm machinery, or swinging a hammer, it all comes together in fulfilling her dream... bringing horses and people together for the joy and betterment of all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8710e26304d564a6de6dc0/1608832682589-J00EHXWP0DYDI67HTI85/Barb+wears+a+brimmed+hat+and+smiles+at+the+camera. Our Team - Barb Team Member at Large Barb is EAGALA certified, endlessly motivated and always cheerful! Her energy, enthusiasm and heart are unparalleled... she's famous for talking about "long term plans", and then making those "long term plans" come together within weeks! As an equine expert in Symatree's EAP program, Barb's patience and gentle observations are key in helping design exercises specific to the needs of our clients. Outside of the arena, she works closely with Kathy in identifying new directions and designing creative programs. Barb is all about fun and helping others through the healing power of horses and that forms the basis of the lifelong friendship that has been forged between her and Kathy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8710e26304d564a6de6dc0/1608832708082-H275L4GD931KDYPY4NF6/Beth+Asseiro+poses+with+Reese%2C+the+dog. Our Team - Betty Betty is our lead youth facilitator. A part of Symatree from the start, her creativity has inspired the images we use on the website, in social media and in our materials. That same creativity has also inspired programming and facility development and her horse skills make her a key player in their day-to-day care. As powerful as she is in all of these areas, her true passion is working with kids to help them see how incredible they already are, and dream big about who they can grow up to be. Regardless of their challenge, Betty sees the brilliant and loveable child behind the anger, sadness and silence, encouraging them to step forward into their gifts. Having studied addictions, youth correctional counselling, and applied counselling Betty skillfully applies her combination of experience and education to plan and facilitate extra special youth programs and camps! Want your child to learn the skills for being a good friend or have an extraordinary camp experience? Look no further than our creative, artistic, powerful and kind-hearted Betty! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8710e26304d564a6de6dc0/1608832744166-1P39ZXP5WEA2Q26BCHUD/Connor+poses+with+a+pony. Our Team - Connor Connor has been on our team since 2020. With a Bachelors of Kinesiology and years of experience in recreation planning and programming, he began by enriching our programming… adding his love for and knowledge of movement. He loves getting out and about, jumping, vaulting and climbing his way through each day! Pulling philosophies from the practice of Parkour, he inspires people to find ways to overcome all kinds of obstacles! More recently, Connor has completed the coursework for his Masters in Counseling Psychology. With his experience, education, interests and “cool factor”, Connor is stepping into the role of Lead Teen Facilitator, working with both individuals and groups, facilitating 1-hour, full-day and overnight weekend programs where fun is had and connections are made. Want your teen to find the courage to be themselves? Their engagement plus Connor’s balance of kind listening, good humor and insightful questioning will get them there! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f8710e26304d564a6de6dc0/83214693-8ff3-4b29-98c1-96d2d991a181/Wesley+in+Basket.jpg Our Team - Wesley the Dread Pirate Roberts This little rascal will greet you with a meow and a lick.
