People
Emma Colyer BHSAI, MHAO, EBW
Emma has grown up and worked with horses all her life.
As a child and teenager she competed in show jumping and dressage as well as in one day events having opportunities to train with some top trainers.
Emma managed and taught at a busy London based riding school teaching children and adults of all abilities. It was here she recognized how inspiring horses were for the people who came to the stables and would see how peoples self confidence and esteem increased over time.
Emma has also worked with young horses coming over from Ireland which she would train for people. Her job also provided a 24hr emergency veterinary transport for horses to the equine hospital.
She went on to run her own livery stables where she cared for other peoples horses before moving to East Sussex where she became the founder of Twin Oaks Intuitive Centre today.
Over the years Emma has taken on horses in need of some form of rehabilitating, often being given horses after all other avenues have been exhausted and it appears to be the end of the road for that horse. It is these horses who make up some of the Twin oaks team who work with people at the centre today.
Emma is a qualified Horse riding instructor, Equine body worker (massage), Animal and human healer as well as an Intuitive Horse equine facilitated therapist. Emma is CRB checked.
Janette Colloby BA Hons, IDPC, NLP Master Practitioner, MHAO
Janette walked away from 16 years in the financial sector to follow her heart, although she wasn’t sure what that meant at the time.
She had previously worked her way up the ladder in banking to a Director in Fixed Income Sales for an American bank, and then relocated, moving into stockbroking, the PR side of which involved working closely with TV, radio and national newspapers.
She then ran her own business performance consultancy before deciding to merge her hobbies of animal healing and communicating with her work in holistic coaching, aided and abetted by her 2 cats and her horse who had just appeared on the scene!
She now combines all three areas into her passion, helping to bridge the gap between the human and animal worlds. She believes that the infinite wisdom from the animal world has so much to teach us when we’re ready to open up and accept it.
She is a qualified NLP Master Practitioner, Hypnotherapy Practitioner, Coach and Intuitive Horse Facilitator, Animal and Equine Healer, Animal Communicator and Reiki II Practitioner. Janette is CRB checked.
