My education and work experience have not followed the same path. I am a qualified Building Technician, however, my life’s journey inspired me to pursue personal growth. I am a native of Poland and have lived in the UK since 2004. Settling down on the English Isle led me to learn the language, with four years at Warwickshire College. Later, four more years of study at the Open University where I learnt design, complex systems and business. Time spent with the Open University gave me the practical framework to explore and critically evaluate ideas. Aside from formal education, much of my free time was spent exploring consciousness. Exposure to publications not available in Polish precipitated passion for learning and hunger for knowledge. My interests were broad, however without a clear direction. A breaking point in my life was marked by a career burnout, I sought to escape the pre-conditioned career pathway. Personal growth was the driving force underlying all endeavours towards a more meaningful life.
I decided to offer Personal Development as a service to anyone who is interested in reaching their own full potential. Decades of my own exploration of consciousness were initiated by a book found on my mother’s shelf at the age of 15 – You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. It had a profound effect on my development and understanding of reality we call life. It was not the superficial affirmations and generic terms that changed my life, but years of introspection and exploration of thought that propelled me forward. After over two decades of work on both mental and emotional levels, I have come to see the correlations between thoughts, perception, and conditioning of our mind, its limitations and a much greater field of information that can be accessed through emotional intelligence. Every single human being on the planet has the capacity to access this field of information. It is however obscured by the mental noise, and reinforced by the noise of the outer world. The so-called conditioning of our mind prevents change in perception, and availability of creative ideas and complex solutions. Language can be compared to plasticine. We mould and shape words into being. Our ability to learn and assimilate is limited only by our ability to access the infinite field of potentiality. Through thoughts and words, we express conscious and unconscious mental patterns. You can read more on this subject in the Personal Development section.

Besides my personal and professional experiences, I have always had an affinity for horses and Nature. As a child I drew them, dreamed about them, and during teen age took some riding lessons. It was much later in life when I returned to my life-long passion for these animals. In 2014 I began seeking their company and any horse-related information. At that time I took on two Shire horses and quickly realised that owning horses was not the same as riding them. Both hoses came with behavioural issues, required rehabilitation work, and help with hoof handling. Hoof care sessions became a dreaded thought because of their resistance to any hoof handling. Finding a hoof care professional who would take on a project of this size and scope was just as challenging. With the help of two professionals, I was introduced to positive reinforcement. Diligence, hard work and commitment led me to develop behavioural skills and eventually overcome hoof-handling problems. Inspired by the works of K. F. Hempfling amongst others, in 2015 I found my way to Piet Nibbelink at DePaardenmaat in Netherlands. It was at the DePaardenmaat where I was introduced to Paddock Paradise and natural horse boarding. However, the connection between the Paddock Paradise, Jaime Jackson and the ISNHCP Training Programme came a few years later in 2018 when I made a decision to train professionally in Natural Hoof Care. 2020 marks my enrollment into the ISNHCP Training Programme. Meeting Jaime Jackson in 2021 was a point of advancement in my understanding of Natural Horse Care, in particular different factors that play key roles in shaping the hoof. His way of looking at hooves differs from the conventionally accepted models. We have now joined in thought and deed to explore meaningful pursuits within and outside of the NHC world.
The positive reinforcement method proved very useful with the rehabilitation of my horses, but greater success came through other avenues. I now offer hoof handling services in addition to Natural Hoof Care for those misunderstood, and mistreated. I sympathise with both, horses and their owners that not all professionals always get it right. The main objective for the services I offer through EquiLiberta is to provide a learning platform for individuals showing interest in the ethical treatment of equines in domestication; as well as advocacy work for wild, free-roaming horses in the U.S. Great Basin (and other parts of the planet). I aim to provide quality information, and practical solutions to horse owners and other professionals in the horse-using community. I would like to offer a unique blend of skills that will enable my clients to serve their horses better. I am also able to help horses that have not always received correct handling, and developed “bad” behaviours using Positive Reinforcement, Relative Dominance and non-verbal communication techniques such as emotional intelligence.
