Celina Leek is the owner and founder of Stable Minds Equestrian. She is a Certified Child and Youth Care Counsellor with over eight years of frontline experience supporting youth, young adults, and families navigating complex life challenges. Celina is a registered member of the Child and Youth Care Association of Alberta and a member of the Alberta Counselling Therapy Association.

Throughout her career, Celina has worked closely with youth and families facing a range of challenges including school difficulties, justice involvement, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), trauma, emotional regulation concerns, and co-occurring diagnoses. Her approach is grounded in trauma-informed practice, neurodevelopmental understanding, and practical skill development that supports young people in building stability, confidence, and the tools needed to move forward in their lives and communities.

Celina also facilitates Equine Assisted Learning programs through her certification with Equine Connection. These programs provide structured opportunities for individuals and organizations to develop leadership, communication, accountability, and personal development skills through guided interaction with horses. By combining professional counselling experience with equine assisted programming, Celina is able to offer unique opportunities for growth that support both personal development and leadership capacity.

Celina grew up on an equine farm in Saskatchewan where she was actively involved in rodeo and horse showing. Her lifelong connection to horses, combined with her professional experience in child and youth care, led to the creation of Stable Minds Equestrian. Her vision is to provide meaningful opportunities for youth, individuals, and organizations to build stronger minds and develop the skills needed to contribute positively within their communities.

Through counselling and equine assisted programs, Celina is passionate about helping people develop resilience, practical life skills, and the confidence to move forward with strength and purpose.
