About

I’m Gloria Lybecker, founder of Healing You Sanctuary in the rolling hills of Spokane County, WA. For more than 25 years I’ve walked beside women who are ready to trade trauma-driven survival patterns for embodied, soul-led living. My work blends relational neuroscience, Nonviolent Communication, and the profound wisdom of horses—partners who mirror our nervous systems with uncompromising honesty.

My own healing began in childhood, when horses became my safest confidants. Their steady, non-verbal presence taught me the language of the body long before I learned the jargon of trauma therapy. Those early lessons shaped the experiential methods I use today— from Equine-Facilitated Constellations and Divine Circles to my signature online immersions, Awakening Consciousness and the Women’s Inner Healing Blueprint. Each program guides clients to re-regulate the nervous system, rewrite limiting beliefs, and step into compassionate, boundary-honoring leadership.

My Passion

I’m a #1 bestselling co-author of Cracking the Rich Code (endorsed by Tony Robbins, foreword by Brian Tracy) and a sought-after podcast guest on topics such as nervous-system-centric leadership, the “fawn” people-pleasing reflex, and healing as a bottom-line business strategy. Whether I’m leading a retreat in the pasture, coaching a CEO through burnout, or playing at the barn with my twin grandsons, my mission is the same: to help you remember the truth of who you are and live it with courage, clarity, and joy. If your heart is nudging you toward deeper freedom—and perhaps a nuzzle from a wise horse along the way—I’d be honored to walk the path with you.

My Dream

Looking ahead, my dream for Healing You Sanctuary feel as vivid as a spring pasture in full bloom. I envision adding a covered arena and a few new equine partners, creating a year-round haven where women can gather—rain or snow—to breathe, learn, and heal shoulder-to-shoulder with the herd. I’m also laying the groundwork for a scholarship fund so that finances never stand between a woman and the transformative work her heart is calling her toward. On the page, I’m bringing The Heart Connection to life, a book that distills decades of horse-guided insights into practical tools anyone can use. And, closest to my heart, I aim to live these principles out loud—so that my children, grandchildren, and their children see firsthand how one woman’s healing can nourish an entire family tree.
