Not all certifications are the same! The field of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning is growing rapidly.  New trainings and certifications are springing up all over – and each is a little different.  When seeking your own training path there are some important considerations to be mindful of so that you get exactly what you need to do this work well – with integrity.

The founders of Natural Lifemanship have been offering EAP/L for over 3 decades, training and education for over 10 years, and in 2015 they launched a certification process…in all these years, Natural Lifemanship has learned A LOT about this field.

Doing quality EAP/L work is a complex and subtle process that is at its best when science, ethics, and experience all come together.  During this 1 hour webinar, NL founders, Bettina Shultz-Jobe and Tim Jobe, share the most important things to consider when choosing a training and certification process.  There’s more to it than you think!
