Toni Collins Wanaka

Hi I’m Toni Collins

Wild Hearts brings together my love for animals, especially horses, and my desire to help people. I am passionate about this work and strive to create a supportive environment that fosters connection and awareness.

My clinical training in EAL at the Equine Psychotherapy Institute of Australia has been pivotal to the success of Wild Hearts Equine Connection, demonstrating the practical application of my skills. This training has also built on my educational foundation. I graduated from the University of Otago in the 90s with a double major in Education and Social Work and recently returned to further my studies in Post-Graduate Applied Psychology.

These qualifications have given me a strong foundation for my work, and I'm thrilled to be able to use my skills to help support others through life’s challenges.
