Jennifer Grais started on her equine journey as a young girl in love with horses. Thrown from a horse at age 11 she suffered short-term paralysis and a fractured back. Through exercise and physical therapy she recovered fully, but she did not return to riding. Fascinated with physical therapy and feeling greatly in debt to the therapists who had helped her, she majored in sports medicine at college, but after graduating her love of music won out. She became a successful singer/songwriter most recently singing on tour with Jackson Browne and appearing as a guest artist on Steve Roach's album, "Holding the Space."
Shamanic Healing work was a natural fit with Jennifer's love of nature and her deep wish to transform her own pain and that of others. Her music and her shamanic work continued to show her new worlds and open her heart. But her love of music, horses, and healing didn't come together until reading Linda Kohanav's book, "The Tao of Equus'. The book affected her deeply and helped to explain her childhood longing for horses. She applied for the Apprenticeship Program in Equine Experiential Learning in Tucson, Arizona and was accepted. She writes:
"Linda's ideas and methods resonate so deeply with who I am and who I am becoming. This work feels like an opportunity to be introduced to the spirit of the horse, not just the body of the horse. I love every explanation and theory in Linda's book. But experiencing the wisdom of the horse directly is truly heart opening. I feel that all my training in music and shamanism and emotional awareness brought me to this place. The work in the round pen feels a bit like a waking dream. I receive information from the horse in my body as well as in words. The horses are incredible teachers."

Her work with horses (both on the ground and riding) over the following year helped to unlock and heal the trauma of her original horseback riding accident as well as develop skills in emotional fitness, authentic community building, setting boundaries, and leadership.
