THE FACILITATORS
Anne Altvater
Growing up with horses made Anne who she is today – a skilled horse woman, an award-winning riding instructor, a compassionate energy healer, and an intuitive equine therapy practitioner. Through her personal experience and decades of professional practice Anne has seen how horses open people’s hearts and minds to insights that they may not be able to imagine on their own.
Anne has been training horses and riders for 30 years. Since 1999 she has owned and operated Campbell’s Lane Farm in Preston, Maryland. At the farm Anne and her team have trained horses and coached riders who have gone on to earn ribbons and develop self-confidence. Campbell’s Lane Farm is now the home base for Insight Equine Therapy and Anne’s practice of transformative healing.
Anne studied massage therapy at the Southeastern School of Massage in Jacksonville, Florida. A 2003 graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing she combines high-sense perception and hands-on techniques to help clients discover the psychological, physical, emotional, and spiritual blocks that create “dis-ease” in their lives.
In 2020 Anne became a founding steward of The Starcast Alliance…a conscious engagement of Nature, Animal, Human and Cosmic Intelligences.
