Our programs are primarily focused on Somatic Experiencing, finding and feeling safe in our bodies and the world around us, accessing inner calm, actively releasing tension and stress, and accessing intuition and sense of knowing. Somatic Experiencing is perfect for addressing issues such as ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Empowerment, Teen issues, Family Challenges, and more...
Horses, by their very nature, require our regulated selves to connect fully. This is where learning new skills and ways of being starts and permanent shift happen. Every interaction we facilitate is based on this understanding, allows us to individually meet participants where they are, and focuses on teaching, learning, and practicing important life skills they have yet to experience and use. Alongside the healing herd, professional teams support, guide, encourage, and motivate. Focusing on life skills that identify strengths and desires, build emotional intelligence, provide skills for anxiety and stress management, decision-making, healthy relationships, and hope for a bright future.
Skills groups are a valuable component of Equine Facilitated Counseling & Wellness, where you will learn the tools to help build a life worth living.
A 3-month minimum commitment is required so that group members can complete all modules sequentially. Course Materials for skill integration, practice, and autonomous learning are included.
