Jennifer Hodgson-Kozel’s Summary
Jennifer is the founder and CEO of Inward Bound Equine Assisted Learning Center, is a Certified Life Coach (CLC), a Registered Corporate Coach (RCC), is EAGALA certified and has earned her Master’s degree in Human Resource Management. Her unique approach to clients combines several years of military service in the medical field, over a decade of human resources leadership, and a lifetime of equine assisted learning to offer honest and immediately effective life coaching. She exhibits the courage to tackle the tough issues on her own life’s journey and she believes there is no obstacle too tall to hurdle. She has successfully coached countless others during the stressful times of change and transition. Her clients range from those in a Fortune 100 company, to couples who want to redesign their relationships, and teens struggling to discover who they want to become. One modality she enjoys offering to her clients is equine assisted learning (EAL), which gives the opportunity to interact directly and freely with horses in exercises that amplify the impact of the every day human experience. Jennifer has a keen ability to help her clients apply this experiential learning to life outside of the equine arena by drawing relevant comparisons to work, school and family life. She excels in roles in which she can collaborate with other professionals to improve the quality of life for her clients.
