Hi, I’m Kate! I specialize in helping individuals gain clarity on their purpose, empowering them to embody their leadership all while developing life skills through working with horses. The horses and I serve as trail-guides leading you towards your dreams, leaving the doubt and limiting beliefs behind. I have the gift to hold space with equal parts strength + compassion and with that I will lovingly bring attention to patterns that may be holding you back. My goal is for you to begin to see yourself as worthy, confident, and powerful.
My coaching looks different than most, in that I weave horses + nature-based ritual into my work. I partner with my horses to inspire and empower people to live their truth and lead from the heart.
I’ve experienced firsthand the healing powers of horses since I was a little girl, what it means to embody compassionate leadership outside of the arena. Now I dedicate my life’s purpose to facilitating others on their journey of self-discovery through the methods of equine gestalt coaching, horsemanship lessons, and retreats.
To me, there is a sacred privilege to work alongside the rawness of humanity. I am humbled as I sit in the presence of pain and I am a dedicated advocate for self expression and vulnerability. My passion lies in the depths of the soul journey, looking beyond the labels and symptoms of trauma.
I partner with my horses to help uncover the deepest parts of self, moving through the unfinished business from the past that so commonly cripples our daily lives, bringing to light the sacred brilliance that resides in each and everyone one of us.
This is an invitation to explore your personal journey with the horses and I as your guides. The time is now to answer your personal calling towards a values-driven life with a fulfilled heart.
With Love,
Kate Quilici
“The horses and I guide you towards a life of purpose, balance, and wholeness. ”
Moments that brought me to where I am today
Over the last ten years my journey has lead to this point of birthing this vision of Ranch House Collective. I have always been fiercely dedicated to living a life of passion while empowering others to do the same.
I traveled across the country leading international travelers through our National Parks, facilitating transformative outdoor experiences.
Growing up on a ranch has taught me to be resilient, the importance of seasonal living, and practicing daily gratitude
Listening to Spirit, my ancestors and trusting my intuition. Always.
My husband Mario and I started a farm together, a shared vision of living off the land and contributing to our local food-shed.
Ever growing curiosity for human behavior lead me towards obtaining my undergrad focusing in eco-psychology, rooted in the knowing that humans are inherently meant to live in relationship with the natural world.
