Hi, I’m Adriana Galiano.
From the Mind to the Heart: Shifting Corporate Leadership
Originally from Colombia, I moved to Montreal to complete my Bachelor’s Degree, diving deep into the studies of Human Resources and Logistics. For over 15 years, I operated in the high-stress, fast-paced world of Fortune 500 logistics and corporate HR. I managed accounts, facilitated company-wide training for enterprises like Expeditors, and even served as the first woman hired as a Port Operations Superintendent leading groundwork crews with a focus on Employee Health & Safety.
I know exactly what it feels like to live entirely in your head, navigating the constant pressure, burnout, and mental loops of the corporate workspace.
A personal turning point ultimately led me away from the traditional office and into a deep study of the healing arts. Returning to the outdoors and my lifelong love for horses, I discovered the profound power of non-riding Equine Facilitated Learning.
Horses don't care about our titles or resumes—they respond entirely to who we are in the present moment. Today, as a Certified Equine Learning Facilitator, I guide individuals and professional teams to step out of their analytical minds and open their hearts. By fostering the natural wisdom and presence of horses, I help people cultivate deep emotional intelligence, build authentic presence, and experience the transformative power of heart-centered leadership.
My Approach
What began as a personal journey of self-discovery has evolved into a passion for partnering with horses to transform how we lead. My approach bridges my 15+ years of corporate “Office” experience with the profound, somatic healing of the Equine Facilitated Learning. Through “first-hand” experiential activities tailored precisely to each client's unique needs, we step out of our busy analytical minds to engage in “first hand” experience with Horses in a round pen, and explore the profound awareness shared between horse and human. The result is an intentional journey that uncovers exciting self-discoveries, expands personal confidence, and builds authentic, heart-centered presence on the ground.
Science-backed connection
As documented by the HeartMath Institute, the heart generates a massive electromagnetic field. Using specialized biofeedback tools, we demonstrate the real-time existence of these energy fields, allowing you to visibly watch your internal stress patterns shift into harmony as you connect with the herd.
Sustainable alignment
We build experiences that don't just last for a retreat—they fundamentally shift how you show up for yourself and your team. By learning to lead from the heart, you cultivate genuine psychological safety, overcome burnout, and return to the workplace truly re-aligned. You can always go deeper if you wish to learn more.
