How Do Vouchers work?
If you’d like to take advantage of the sale price on Fundamentals and Intensive (available December 25 – 31), you’ll notice that we have announced dates for 2025, but we haven’t yet opened registration.
Here’s how vouchers work:
- Buy a voucher for the training of your choice and get the sale price when you complete your purchase before December 31, 2024.
- When registration opens for the training you’ve selected, you’ll be the first to know and we’ll notify you via email so you can sign up.
- Your voucher will be good for any of the dates we offer for that training throughout 2025, so select whatever date works best for you! For example, if you purchase a Fundamentals voucher, but don’t want to use it until the last session that starts in September 2025, no problem! Generally, registration for each training opens two weeks before the training begins.

“The emphasis on the somatic – on the body. It’s really important to me personally and I’ve seen how it affects my horses… What does it mean to be present in the moment? Everybody talks about it, but Natural Lifemanship teaches it and gives you amazing skills to have a somatic experience.”
~ Cheri Trousil, PT
CERTIFICATION STEP 2
NL Intensive
Next, you’ll take the NL Intensive, where you sink so much deeper into the nuance and art of this work.
The NL Intensive is taken after the Fundamentals when you’ve gained a solid foundation for using the Natural Lifemanship principles. In the Intensive, you’ll go deeper into your personal growth and embody your unique and powerful practice to build on your relationship with yourself, your clients, and your horses.
When will the Intensive be offered in 2025?
- March 24 – July 18, 2025

What is the sale price?
Until December 31st, take $100 off our “Core” option for NL Intensive.
Please note that there are two different options for the NL Intensive, but the Core option is the one we recommend for anybody seeking NL Certification and it’s the only one on sale.
“In my relationship with my own horse, I had no idea how much I was missing in what she’s been telling me…I’m just blown away by the NL Intensive.“
~ Leigh Ashley, M.A., LMFT
CERTIFICATION STEP 3
Sign up for Certification
This part is the easiest of all – sign up for Certification.
When you sign up, you will get a course to guide you through the certification process and help you keep track of your progress toward NL certification. You’ll also get NL membership included with your registration at no additional fee. There are a ton of benefits to NL members, but of particular importance is the hours and hours of online learning that can be used to hone your skills and maintain your NL Certification.
What is the sale price?
Until December 31st, take $50 off Certification Membership.
NOTE: When you sign up for the Fundamentals Jumpstart, the annual Certification fee is already included. So if you’re signing up for Jumpstart today, you do not need to purchase the Certification Membership separately. Instead, look for the instructions in your Fundamentals of NL Jumpstart course.
“This was not my first certification, but it was by far the most comprehensive and personally meaningful. The NL team has depth, compassion and are 100% committed to the success of both the horse and the student.”
~ Martha McNiel, LMFT, TRI, TDI, TSMHL, NL Certification Student

“The quality and depth of the courses and consultations is truly transformative. My certification represents significant professional growth in the field of equine assisted psychotherapy, an increased capacity to partner with others, and the impact NL has had on my own journey of healing.”
~ Marla Lipscomb, MSW, LCSW, NL Certification Student
