For years, Rune kept his head down and worked quietly in IT to avoid the weight of his own reality. When he finally got divorced, he shifted and slowly stepped into the addiction recovery world.
Six years ago he started coaching others through their own grief and trauma, and then expanded to equine therapy as part of the healing process. Because horses respond to the energy people bring into the pen, these powerful moments of self-discovery uncover what remains hidden and find true recovery.
