Movement Method: Movement Method is the optimal way to simultaneously learn, sooth the nervous system and build a whole new brain. We teach you how to create the right human and physical environment for learning, how neuro-psychiatric conditions are a continuum, not just a spectrum – meaning where your brain is now, is not where it will be once you use the Method; the building of skills becomes a snowball to achievement.

Takhin Equine Integration: A horse training intervention that teaches people with neuro-psychiatric conditions to rehabilitate, train and maintain horses for therapeutic programs. Lunging and long reining to build muscle, rhythm and balance. In-hand work (shoulder-in, counter shoulder-in, travers, half pass and renvers) to build suppleness and trainability. Softening groundwork (jaw, poll and lumbar flexions) to create a horse that moves fluidly, feels physically and emotionally good, and who can therefore impart its own wellbeing to a client whether working in the saddle or on the ground.
Leana offers Individual and group lessons on Classical In hand Dressage. Leana is mentored by Rupert Isaacson and continually learning and developing skills in the lineage of Nuno Olivera. Leana is also available to support therapeutic riding centers with Takhin Integration groups, staff trainings and organizational team building- using the classical dressage training system to train and rehab therapy horses while simultaneously providing well being and meaningful skill building for adolescents and adults with or without neuropsychiatric conditions and PTSD.
