Our Founder Lidia Kuleshnyk
​"Welcome to Our Apona Healing Community"
Lidia has had a deep relationship with horses, animals, and nature her entire life. Since childhood, horses and animals have come to Lidia in dreams, as Pillars of Light.
In times of hardship, when no answers could be found, it was through Lidia’s connection with the natural world, and the guidance of the spirits of animals, that Lidia found the solutions she needed.​​​
​
Lidia, also known as "Lady Apona", brings together 30 years of passion, expertise and wisdom in her four pathways to living a Centered, Connected, Conscious™ life.
As a therapist and holistic coach, Lidia offers Equine-Assisted Therapy and Equine Healing Retreats to help clients return to wholeness through heart-centered, transformational relationships with horses.
Understanding her spiritual connection to the animal world inspired Lidia to acquire a degree in Animal Behaviour.
