Hello, I'm Manuela S.
Hi, I am Manuela Stefan, a Canadian-Romanian lifestyle and equine photographer, with a deep passion for adventure and storytelling. While traveling the world to uncover incredible stories about horses and their people, I have experienced my own share of moments of deep healing through my connection with herds. I have slowly come to feel and understand horse energy on a new level, which prompted the desire to go even deeper. In 2012 I spent a magical week in California, studying equine massage and energy work, and this experience opened me up further to new ways of being in my own life, while confirming what I was already sensing, that these sensitive powerful beings are here to assist us in our growth, while being so willing to give, especially when they feel seen and respected. Isn't this what we, as humans, ultimately desire? My written and spoken stories have inspired women to ask if they could join me, thus the idea of the very special horse retreats was born. Since, I have held week long retreats in Mexico and St Lucia, and weekend retreats near Toronto, Canada.
