Meet Katrina – Founder of Herd Together Inc
Katrina was born with the “H” chromosome – H for Horse. Her love for horses was innate, and unlike many childhood passions, it never faded.
"I learned from a young age the powerful impact horses can have on our emotional wellbeing. My pony Fonzie became my safe space – grooming him, feeding him, or even just sitting on the fence beside his paddock brought me a peace and joy I couldn't find anywhere else."
Katrina brings a unique blend of professional expertise, personal experience, and deep empathy to her work. She holds:
- Diploma in Animal-Assisted Therapy
- Completing Diploma Counselling
- Certificate Equine Interaction Experience Practitioner
- Trauma-Informed Wellness & Communication Coach
- Business Management and Bookkeeping
- Somatic Coach
- Certificate in women's circles
- Cert Advanced Red Light Therapy

Beyond her equine credentials, Katrina draws on a rich background across various industries—including corporate finance, employment services, hospitality, education, and workshop facilitation—giving her a deep understanding of the real-world pressures people face every day.
Katrina is the heart behind Herd Together Inc, where she helps transform lives through equine-assisted services, guiding participants to heal, grow, and reconnect—with themselves and others.
When she's not changing lives with her herd, Katrina loves sewing, connecting with nature, camping, road trips, and discovering new places.
