Leadership Communication Relationship

Faith Deeter believes in living an authentic life. "The purpose and
meaning of life is straight forward. It is simply, "Be real." While that
may sound simple enough, it does not mean it is easy to achieve."
Faith’s journey into the field of personal development was not always
evident to her. At the age of twenty, she had a life changing event that
was a turning point. She was diagnosed with the cancer called,
Hodgkins Lymphoma. Faith feels it was one of the greatest gifts she
could have received. “I realized then that life is precious, that everyone
matters, and that a person’s innate value has nothing to do with external
measurements.”
Educated along traditional lines, Faith received her Masters Degree in
Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in Santa Barbara. She
opened a successful private counseling practice which she continues to
this day. Then unexpectedly, in trying to solve a riding problem with
her horse, Faith's work took an unusual turn.
"I had a particularly flighty horse that many people thought was going
to end up killing me, but I loved my horse so I kept searching for
something to help us. When I came across Natural Horsemanship, I was
mesmerized and couldn't help but realize that the principles that work to
create harmonious relationships between people and horses were the
very same principles that could assist people in having harmonious
relationships with one another."
Today, Faith's work in counseling, coaching, and personal development
combine the world of traditional psychology, and Natural Principles to
help people transform their self-confidence, leadership ability, personal
and professional relationships, and personal achievement.
Faith's determination nurtures her relentless pursuit to continue
refining seemingly complex concepts to simple steps that anyone can
follow to achieve greater self-confidence, more meaningful
relationships, and a happier life overall. Known by people she has
coached as, The Calm Thunder and The Quiet Storm, she credits her
most important training from the school of life.
“Sometimes life’s tuition is high but I’ve come to believe that our
difficulties have the potential to forge us. Life remains to be one of my
greatest teachers.”
Faith believes she was put here for a reason. Today she works as a
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Santa
Ynez, California. She is a Life Coach for Peak Potentials, the worlds
largest personal development company in North America and a
Transformational Trainer for The Torch Foundation, a leadership
program for at-risk youth.
In 2003, Faith founded Galloping Through Life equine facilitated
therapy. She is the author of, The Conflict Pattern Revealed,
published 2008 by Lustre Publishing which leads readers step by step
away from conflict and promotes harmonious relationships in all areas
of their life. Faith is an author, inspirational speaker, and avid
horsewoman.
