We've partnered with Meaghan MacLeod at Integrated Elevation to bring you some incredible Equine Assisted Learning programs at the ranch.
With a diverse background as a youth worker, trauma therapist, facilitator, wife, sister, friend, mother, and horse enthusiast, Meaghan brings a wealth of experience and passion to our team.
Meaghan first discovered her talent for connecting with others in a meaningful, supportive way during a transformative ten-month service trip to St. Lucia in 2002. There, she established pro-social youth programs across the island and collaborated as a strengths-based workshop facilitator with the Massade Boys Training Centre, a detention center for male youth. This invaluable experience provided her with insights and personal growth that exceeded what she gained from her Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology, ultimately guiding her to complete the Child and Youth Worker Advanced Diploma at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario.
Since then, Meaghan has dedicated her career to supporting and advocating for vulnerable clients in both urban and rural First Nations settings. Her journey has equipped her with invaluable skills, experience, and knowledge. As a Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapist Practitioner, she approaches her work through a holistic, strengths-based lens, firmly believing in the inherent potential and gifts of every individual. Meaghan's mission is to support the discovery, nurturing, and integration of these potentials, empowering her clients to achieve their true and highest potential.
At Integrated Elevation, Meaghan aspires to empower other professionals to do the same, embodying her guiding principle: "Integrate to Elevate."
