Take the Reins with Monique
Release what’s heavy. Rediscover yourself. Rise free
Hi, I’m Monique — Founder of The Herd Within Community (Take the Reins and Equineistic NT.)
I’m a Self-Discovery & Relationship Coach, guiding people through life’s transitions to release heavy emotions, reconnect with themselves, and create healthier, more authentic relationships.
My approach is grounded in the principles of Horse Wisdom - presence, self-regulation, authenticity, emotional awareness, belonging, intuition, and non-judgement. These qualities are not just taught — they are experienced in coaching, in groups, and in equine-assisted learning sessions.
For years, I lived in survival mode — holding a marriage, raising three children, and keeping everything together until my world collapsed. I was exhausted, unseen, and unsure of who I was.
Through deep inner work, horses, and powerful coaching practices, I rebuilt myself — not into who I thought I should be, but into who I truly am.
Now, I walk beside people who are ready to:
- Release old stories and self-limiting beliefs.
- Reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and inner truth.
- Heal from heartbreak, grief, or major life transitions.
- Build confidence, boundaries, and authentic relationships.
- Find belonging — within themselves and in community.
In my coaching, I combine:
- Neuro-Transformation Therapy (NTT) & NLP tools — to shift unhelpful patterns and create lasting change.
- Horse Wisdom principles — presence, regulation, authenticity, belonging, and non-judgement.
- Creative and group practices — including women’s circles that offer safe, supportive spaces for connection and growth.
What I Believe
- You are not broken.
- You are worthy of being seen and heard.
- You deserve relationships — with yourself and others — that feel safe, connected, and real. Why Work with me
Why Work with me
- Certainty: I’ve lived the work — and I know transformation is possible.
- Value: My coaching integrates lived experience, counselling training, and proven methods.
- Urgency: You don’t need to carry the weight any longer — change begins the moment you decide.
- Growth: Every step you take expands your confidence, clarity, and connection.
If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start creating a life and relationships that truly feel like home, I would be honoured to walk beside you.

Relationship coaching
Relationships can be the greatest source of joy — and the deepest source of pain. If you’ve found yourself stuck in patterns of self-sabotage, people-pleasing, or repeating the same arguments and heartbreak, you’re not alone. The truth is, your relationships can’t fully change until you do.
I guide you to:
🌿 Release the heavy emotions and old stories that keep you stuck.
🌿 Reconnect with your authentic self and rebuild self-worth.
🌿 Break free from people-pleasing and self-sabotage.
🌿 Learn to communicate with clarity and courage.
🌿 Create deeper, healthier connections — starting with yourself.
Horses bring honesty, presence, and connection. NLP clears limiting beliefs and rewires how you show up. Together, they create the breakthroughs you’ve been waiting for.
This isn’t about surface fixes. It’s about transforming from the inside out — so your relationships finally reflect the love, respect, and connection you deserve.
Spaces for 1:1 coaching are limited. If you’re ready to stop repeating cycles and start creating the relationships you truly desire, book your discovery call today.
