Nicole Weber is a certified hypnotist, hypnosis instructor, performance coach, equine-assisted mental health practitioner, and equine osteopath. A lifelong horsewoman, she has experience in a number of disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, and Western. Weber’s interest in hypnosis began when she was 13 years old, and since studying the practice and becoming certified, she has focused on helping professional and recreational riders overcome fears, improve their seat and aids, and achieve a harmonious partnership with their horse. This led her to develop her own techniques specifically for equestrians, which she calls Equihypnosis, and explains in her book by the same name. Using her methods, Weber trained riding therapists at the Kentaurus Institute for Equine-Assisted Interventions, and they have led her to become a popular international speaker. She is based in Krum, Texas (equihypnosis.com).
