Amanda
I’m the founder of Wild & Stable Wellness Co. and my life has been nothing short of an adventure. As a certified personal trainer, yoga instructor, wellness coach, and equine-assisted therapy practitioner, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to every client I work with.
My journey has shaped me in countless ways, mother to a herd of kids, cancer survivor, and divorce survivor. For years, I thrived in high-pressure careers in human resources and sales, but the stress and burnout reminded me that true wellness was where my passion had always been and how I can share that with others.
Stepping away from that world, I embraced a new chapter focused on health and wellness.
Beyond my business, I enjoy spending time with my donkeys, riding dirt bikes, and chasing adventure throughout the Pacific Northwest. These passions fuel my belief that wellness should be exciting, dynamic, and deeply personal.
I understand many walks of life, the driven professional, the overwhelmed parent, the person rebuilding after hardship—because I’ve lived them. My goal is to guide others toward wellness in a way that feels adventurous, empowering, and sustainable.
At Wild & Stable Wellness, I combine my education with real-world resilience to help you discover strength, balance, and healing on your own unique journey.
Meet Cecil
Cecil is our sweet, easygoing Paint gelding with a heart as big as he is. He's happiest when he's spending time with people and eating lots of fresh snacks, whether that's carrying a rider through the arena, standing quietly for a good scratch, or simply sharing his calm presence.
He has a special way of helping people slow down, breathe, and feel grounded. Cecil doesn't ask for perfection, he simply meets you where you are, making him a wonderful partner for beginners, wellness sessions, and anyone looking to reconnect with themselves through horses.
Around the barn, Cecil is known for his gentle personality, goofiness, kind eyes, and willingness to remind us that healing often happens in the quiet moments.
Meet Renata
Renata is one of our sweetest teammates, known for her gentle nature and love of human connection. She enjoys being groomed, loved on, and spending quiet time with people of all ages.
While she's incredibly kind, Renata is also a sensitive mare who responds honestly to the energy of the person riding her. She teaches us that horses aren't looking for perfection, they're looking for clarity, confidence, and calm. Every interaction with Renata is an opportunity to become more aware of ourselves and how we show up in the world.
She reminds us that slowing down, regulating our nervous system, and building trust create stronger relationships, both with horses and with ourselves.
Meet Rabbit
Rabbit is one of our sweetest—and sassiest—teammates. She loves people, especially children, and has a gentle, patient nature that makes her wonderful for spending quiet, meaningful time together.
Like many donkeys, Rabbit is thoughtful and independent. She doesn't respond to pressure; she responds to trust. She teaches us the value of slowing down, communicating with intention, and respecting boundaries.
Whether she's giving soft donkey snuggles, carrying a young rider, or making everyone laugh with her expressive personality, Rabbit reminds us that healing doesn't always have to be serious. Sometimes it looks like laughter, curiosity, and learning to embrace exactly who we are.
"Gentle doesn't mean weak, and a little sass keeps life interesting."
Meet Bunny
Bunny is one of our sweetest donkeys and has a quiet way of making everyone feel welcome. With her gentle heart, patient nature, and calm presence, she has become a favorite among children and first-time visitors.
Whether she's carrying a young rider down the trail, joining a peaceful walk, or simply standing quietly beside someone who needs a moment to breathe, Bunny has a remarkable ability to help people slow down and feel safe.
Like many donkeys, Bunny is thoughtful and observant. She teaches us that confidence isn't about being the loudest, it's about showing up with patience, trust, and a steady heart. She reminds us that progress doesn't have to be rushed and that some of life's greatest adventures begin with a single, quiet step.
Around the farm, Bunny is known for her gentle spirit, expressive personality, and willingness to meet people exactly where they are.
"Sometimes the calmest hearts leave the biggest footprints."
Meet Little Willie
Meet the smallest member of the Wild & Stable Wellness team, and undoubtedly one of the biggest personalities.
Little Willie is our young miniature donkey who keeps everyone on their toes. We affectionately call him our Sour Patch Kid because he's sweet, curious, stubborn, hilarious, and completely unforgettable. Every day brings a new adventure with Willie, and he never fails to make people smile.
As he's growing up, Willie reminds us that learning is messy, curiosity is a gift, and it's okay to test boundaries along the way. His playful nature encourages us to embrace our inner child, laugh at ourselves, and remember that healing doesn't always have to be serious.
Whether he's "walking himself" with his lead rope, asking for attention, or simply making people laugh with his antics, Little Willie has a way of turning ordinary moments into unforgettable memories.
His lesson is simple: Play is powerful. Joy is healing. And sometimes the best thing you can do for your nervous system is laugh.
"A little mischief, a lot of heart, and endless reasons to smile."
