Trauma Recovery - Our Philosophy
The Power of Connection
At the heart of healing is connection. Humans and horses are wired for relationships, and it is through these healthy, attuned relationships that we experience co-regulation—a process where the calm and steady presence of another helps to regulate the emotions and nervous systems of those around them.
This reciprocal relationship fosters safety, trust, and a sense of being seen and understood.In our equine-assisted psychotherapy work, the connection between humans and horses mirrors this co-regulatory process. With their heightened sensitivity, horses are naturally attuned to our emotional and physical states, offering feedback in a non-judgmental, present-moment way.
Clients learn to recognize and regulate their emotional experiences through their presence, deepening their capacity for self-awareness, empathy, and authentic connection.By fostering these attuned, co-regulatory relationships—whether with horses, therapists, or loved ones—we create a foundation for lasting change.
These connections provide the safety and trust needed to explore deeper emotional wounds, process trauma, and develop the resilience to face life’s challenges. In this space of connection, healing unfolds as a shared journey, not one that is walked alone.
All About Me
Embodied Awareness - Slowing Down and Reconnecting
We believe that true health and enduring change happen when the body and mind are actively engaged in the process of experiencing. This journey is about learning to slow down and becoming more ware of all that is within and around us is one of the greatest gifts we can offer ourselves. By practicing mindful embodiment, we connect to our true selves, others, and the natural world, allowing for a more authentic, kind, and connected way of being.
What We Offer
Trauma and Attachment-Informed Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy
Our work is rooted in mindfulness, embodied awareness, and relationship-based principles. We work with horses to foster healing and transformation by helping clients learn to tap into the current beneath the words that unfold in experiential interactions throughout sessions that help individuals access their deeper emotions and experiences.
Embodied Mindfulness for Transformation
Mindfulness is about becoming aware and fully present in each moment. It allows us to witness what is happening inside and outside of ourselves without judgment. By practicing mindfulness, we build the capacity to regulate our emotions, tend to our nervous systems, and develop a greater sense of heartfelt connection.
The Power of Embodiment
The embodiment practice teaches us that our body and mind are not separate. They are a single, integrated being. By tuning into our body’s sensations, emotions, and physical presence, we become more attuned to our experiences and the world around us.
Is This Right for You?
Are you ready for lasting, meaningful change? If you’re seeking a new approach to therapy or coaching, consider these questions:
• Are you ready to slow down, feel more present in your body, and experience greater peace and joy?
• Have you tried other forms of counseling without the results you hoped for?
• Do you want to improve the quality of your relationships with yourself and others?
• Are you ready to develop new skills for a more vital and purposeful life?
If any of these resonate with you, our trauma-informed, mindfulness-based approach could be the right fit.
