JoAnne Ernsberger, founder and director of Equissential Insights, is passionate about helping people grow—personally and professionally. Combining traditional methods with equine-assisted experiential learning, JoAnne creates engaging, supportive programs that inspire lasting change.

With a background in business, teaching, and psychology, JoAnne offers customized experiences for teams, leaders, couples, families, and youth. Her warm, down-to-earth style and deep experience with horses make every session both impactful and welcoming.

Programs include leadership development, team building, family dynamics, recovery support, and youth leadership (through our nonprofit, The Backyard Barn Foundation). We also offer faith-based retreats and use tools like CliftonStrengths and DiSC assessments to support communication and growth.

JoAnne is a certified EAL Practitioner (E3A), holds multiple coaching and therapy credentials, and lives in Delaware with her husband Scott, their horses, and a joyful mix of animals.
