Who is Monica Kubik and why does she do this work?

I wanted to write a new introduction about who I am - Monica Kubik, living in Dubai and horse lover. 
But who am I really and what drives me?

Founder of FeelQuest | Horse Guided Empowerment Specialist | Visionary in Human–Equine Connection

Monica Kubik is a visionary coach and facilitator based in Dubai, known for her unique ability to connect people with the wisdom of horses to spark meaningful transformation.

Originally from Germany and rooted in the Middle East since 2006, Monica’s journey has taken her life from a stressful career in international exhibitions to the quiet wisdom of the paddock. Her path is guided by a powerful belief:

🐴 Why Horses?

Monica has been drawn to horses since she was able to walk, and believes horses mirror our truth.
They respond not to titles or words, but to energy, intention, and presence.
This makes them powerful partners in leadership training, emotional intelligence work, and personal growth.

She says:

Her mission is to help people:

• Lead from the heart
• Build authentic relationships
• Live and work with clarity, empathy, and purpose

At the same time, she shows both riders and non riders a different way of being with these animals - based on mutual respect and freedom, not on dominance.

🌟 A Visionary Approach

Monica founded FeelQuest to create transformative experiences where people slow down, reconnect, and realign - not only with themselves, but with nature, their teams, and their inner truth.

She is passionate about:

• Bridging the gap between corporate intelligence and emotional intelligence
• Empowering women to reclaim their space with confidence and softness
• Supporting individuals through life transitions, burnout recovery, and personal discovery
• Designing spaces where human and animal wellbeing are equally valued

She also consults real estate companies and architects on the creation of horse-centered wellness spaces, helping shape a future where equine welfare, sustainability, and human healing walk hand in hand.

Her vision is to create the UAE's first integrated horse themed wellness center where horses become a crucial part of guiding people on their way to wellbeing and living a purposeful life. 

🎓 Credentials & Experience

Licensed Partner of HorseDream®

Certified Practitioner of Horse Guided Empowerment®

Worked with the horses with Fortune 500 companies, women in or after cancer treatment, end of life patients, Alzheimer patients, special needs, and so much more. 

Experiencing how each and every session is different, but creates a lasting effect in humans, and watching the horses do their part is the most heart warming and best reward every for me.
I am truly honored to be able to do this work and hold space for so many wonderful people in the paddock, at the same time shifting awareness for the horses.
These animals are highly sensitive and clients are every time blown away how the horses take notice of every single movement or even thought we have.

It is something that is not being taught yet in the riding schools, but we can use it for our human evolution if we are willing to change and learn.
