Kera Willis grew up on the dirt roads of Ontario, surrounded by the animals she loved. After starting riding lessons at the age of seven, she worked through a series of working student positions with dressage and event trainers.

Disillusioned by the lack of depth in the conventional horse world, she found the field of Equine Facilitated Experiential Learning. She completed her certification through Horse Spirit Connections in 2010 with the assistance of a feral rescue mare named Rowan. Shortly after, she followed her wild spirit to the West Coast of Canada, where she founded Mountain Horse School and began to combine her riding and training background with four levels of autism-specific therapeutic riding certifications, two years of experience working at a Waldorf school, and her embodied belief in the healing potential of the natural world. She spent ten years offering horse and nature camps for kids, relationship-based riding lessons, and retreats that integrated wildcrafted medicine making, soul craft, ecopsychology, and both mounted and unmounted activities with the horses.

In the fall of 2022, she closed her physical school to focus on her other loves: music, writing, Daoist Stone Medicine, and the reclamation of the wild elements of the human soul. Currently, she offers both mounted and unmounted sessions on a freelance basis throughout BC and multidisciplinary workshops, courses, and retreats both in-person and online. She also offers consultation work for practitioners wanting to integrate ridden work or programming for kids and youth into their equine offerings. She’s working on a training and certification program to share the unique model of teaching she developed for young people that will launch in the fall of 2023.
