About Us
Awaken Equine was born from the belief that the most meaningful transformation happens in grounded connection with the land, horses, ourselves, and each other.
While our team includes a number of amazing therapy and coaching partners, Celia Lismore stands at its center.
Celia's Story
A highly sensitive child- little Celia often processed big feelings in the safest place she knew- curled up in her horse's stall. Twenty-five years later, Celia’s personal path has woven together corporate leadership experience, modern science, and the ancient wisdom of Native American, Celtic, and shamanic traditions to bring her full circle.
As a master's student in psychology, Celia’s approach is grounded in an academic understanding of the mind, emotions, and behavior. At the same time, her journey as a shamanic practitioner has enabled a deep awareness of nuanced energetic shifts connected to mental/emotional states and the unseen forces that influence healing.
Her recent experience as a leader of a hundred-person consulting firm provided ample insight into various personalities and strengths. Nearly a decade as a certified Clifton Strengths coach has left her with a refined ability to identify individuals' potential and guide them in leveraging their core capabilities in a judgment-free way.
By weaving together modalities like Clifton StrengthsFinder, evidence-based and trauma-informed coaching practices, intuitive guidance, and the wisdom of these incredible animals, Celia helps people connect positively with their authentic selves, move through life’s transitions, heal trauma, and rediscover their inner strength.
