Our Therapeutic Facilitator & Handler, Kate is currently working with our equine companions, and continuing her own education in Equine Assisted Therapeutic Activities to bring our beautiful community a truly unique, holistic approach to caring for your health & wellbeing…
Equine Assisted Therapeutic Activities are consciously coordinated groundwork exercises used to help people & horse heal & grow. Just one session can have profound and immediate effects mentally, physically, and emotionally. A relationship session with our horse(s) can lower blood pressure, regulate cardiovascular activity, reduce anxiety & depression, alleviate stress, support balance & coordination, strengthen fine & gross motor skills, increase emotional intelligence, patience, and empathy for self & others.
“A growing body of evidence suggests that the unique human-horse connection improves the physical and mental health of both species.” - How Horses Help Humans Heal & Thrive
Welcome!
We’ll be regularly offering:
• Individual Human-Equine Relationship Sessions
• Couples Human-Equine Relationship Sessions
• Family or small group human-equine relationship sessions
Each with the option for 1 equine companion or 2,
in a 30 minute session or 60.
What is a relationship session?
It’s sharing our designated covered, outdoor space with the horse(s) of the participant(s) choosing. It’s being physically & cognitively grounded to your surroundings in nature. It’s being present and emotionally connected with another being that asks nothing of you - though you’ll likely find yourself giving freely. It’s body doubling, which bridges cognitive co-regulation (the mind) and emotional co-regulation (the body), potentially improving neurological performance. All of this, specifically with horses, is being scientifically proven to improve the cardiovascular and the psychological health of all participants.
As community outreach, completely free of charge from one survivor to others, we’ll occasionally be offering:
• Women’s Domestic Violence Survivors Guided Groups
• Veterans Guided Groups
• Trauma Survivors Guided Groups
• Waived Traveling fees for services to those that are not/cannot be mobile themselves
*Destination must be owned by client, and approved for the horses prior to scheduling.*
What are Guided Groups?
Our Therapeutic Guided Groups are a specific type of gathering that brings together people with similar struggles and/or conditions under the guidance and direction of our Therapeutic Facilitator/Handler/fellow Survivor, Kate. These groups can provide emotional connection, education, support, encouragement, a sense of belonging, cardiovascular and physical wellness for human and horse.
To maintain an atmosphere conducive to horse & human healing, our gatherings will always be under 10 simultaneous participants.
*Note: Healing Hooves Guided Groups is not to be confused with actual Group Therapy. For that you should always seek a licensed psychologist.
