About the team:
-
Tina Llewellyn's life has always been intertwined with horses. From her first pony at age eight to her heart horse, Lucinda, Tina's journey with horses has been profound.
After Tina’s graduation, the pair traveled to Florida and Virginia where Tina worked for and learned about upper level Three Day Eventing. Though Tina was thrilled at this opportunity, she also came to recognize that her love of horses was not tied to competition but went deeper: Lucinda was her heart horse and it was simply spending time with these powerful creatures that filled Tina’s heart.
After returning, Tina became a Farrier, achieving a Journeyman Designation, and built a successful business. However, the physical demands led her to transition to partnering with horses in a new way, and Tina became a certified F.E.E.L.® practitioner.
Tina is the co-founder of Inspirit Horsemanship and visionary behind Ceffyl Wellness Centre. She now combines her 30 years of horse experience with certification as an equestrian coach through Equestrian Canada, with formal training as an Intentional Creativity® Practitioner, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, and F.E.E.L.® practitioner to help others heal through shame and embody the confidence they deserve.

Doug grew up on a small hobby farm with various animals and developed a love for horses early on.
Despite a career in business and public service, his passion for animals remained. After retiring, Doug returned to the equine world, learning about horse behavior and their healing power.
Doug’s desire to help people plus his new horse knowledge led him to the F.E.E.L.® training program in 2023, where Doug became a certified F.E.E.L.® Practitioner.
Doug is also a Reiki practitioner providing energy healing to humans as well as horses, as well as a meditation coach, and co-founder of Inspirit Horsemanship. Doug couples this education with a formal background in Facilitating Meetings and Adult Learning Methodology (BCIT), and Executive Coaching from PSA Institute.

Morgan came to Tina as a 2 year old from a client of Tina’s who had bought him at an auction. He had been brought into this world as a PMU baby (read more here), and through this client and Tina, he was given a new chance at life.
Morgan grew-up in a herd, learning the art of observation, dynamics of a community, and developing a strong sensitivity to the energy and needs of those around him. Morgan brings this experience into his relationships with riders, helping them heal and progress both on the ground and in saddle.
He is a herd leader. He has a strong, grounded energy and supports people through transitions. In fact, numerous people who have worked with Morgan have had a huge, positive life transition follow their time together.
Morgan is now in his senior years, and though he is no longer Tina’s main riding horse, he is a powerful conduit for healing sessions at Ceffyl Wellness Centre. He is a heart horse who attracts positive change, fast.
