For more than two decades, Sonja Bollnow has guided thousands toward a more authentic, heart-based way of living and relating with themselves, their horses, and the world around them. A full-time therapist, coach, and teacher, she helps people bridge the seen and the unseen, rediscover presence and trust, and attune to the language of the heart that horses recognize and respond to so naturally.

As the founder of Equine Reiki, Sonja brings a grounded approach to energy awareness that helps humans and horses experience a partnership where communication flows effortlessly, connection deepens, and mutual healing unfolds. The result is a relationship that transcends training and becomes a shared journey of understanding and empowerment.

Her teachings are practical and profound, intuitive and embodied. Participants describe them as transformative and deeply grounded, offering tangible tools to create more balanced, attuned partnerships with their horses; partnerships built on safety, sensitivity, and authentic connection.

At this year’s Global Online Horse Fair, Sonja puts a powerful healing tool literally into your hands. Through simple, heartfelt practices in connection and remote Equine Reiki, you will learn how to support your horse’s wellbeing while enhancing your own vitality and energetic awareness. The outcome is a deeper bond where both horse and human can feel more at ease, more understood, and beautifully aligned in heart and purpose.

Because of the Horse...

And their innate ability to see straight into the truth of who we are, I am inspired to live as the best version of myself, one who meets life, humanity, and the horse collective with heartfelt connection and soul-based action. They remind me daily to lead with love, live with awareness, and honour the sacred bond that unites all beings.
