Nancy King, MS, OTLFounder and DirectorI have been fortunate enough to combine my lifetime love for horses with my passion for helping people through many of life's challenges. I received my Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy in 2001.
Not long after, I founded A Horse Connection, in the Hudson Valley of New York. For almost twenty years, A Horse Connection has helped hundreds of clients from age 2 to 102 years old. This ground breaking, effective treatment would not be possible without the help of many dedicated volunteers and many incredible horses. I think my success in this field is based on a combination of qualities. As an occupational therapist, I have a scientific and medical education . I have the experience as a solid horsewoman, who continues to be a student of these magnificent beings. I go beyond the diagnosis, and see each person as an unique individual. There are no cookie cutter approaches. I am able to tap into people's strengths in a way that inspires or engages them to help them with their challenges. I have insight, compassion, patience and humor with a flexible approach. I provide a supportive and safe environment. |
