Trauma recovery sessions are tailored to the needs of each client. Sometimes, working with horses is very helpful, other times the work is best done in my studio. The length of a trauma recovery session is dependent on what is unfolding and when we come to a natural conclusion for whatever we are discovering. Sessions tend to be 1.5 – 2 hours in length.

Finding Resilience
An Equine Facilitated Learning Workshop to Strengthen Work Teams
Resilience is not only the ability to adapt well in the face of adversity, trauma or stress, but can also lead to profound personal growth. In this one-day workshop specially created for work teams, we will explore three key factors of resilience. Theory will be put into practice in exercises with the horses. This is an experiential, embodied way of learning that can create lasting change in the participant and can transform the ability of your team to adapt to our ever-changing world.
No horse experience required! All activities take place on the ground.
Group of four - $595. Custom sessions for smaller groups, individuals and families available.

What Happened to You?
An Equine Facilitated Book Club Experience
​
Have you ever wondered how your childhood experiences formed the person you are today? Oprah and Dr. Bruce Perry explore this question in their best-selling book What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing.
​
Examining the latest research on brain development, stress response, and resilience, they show us how our bodies and minds adapted to the environment and experiences of our childhood. They help us see how our behavior today can often be understood as coping responses to the stress or trauma we were exposed to. Instead of asking the usual question of What’s wrong with you? they ask What happened to you?
Join me for a different book club experience. In addition to discussing the book, we’ll work with horses in equine facilitated sessions to have them help us see ourselves in a new way. As we learn to understand our behaviour and the way our body works, we open up the opportunity to respond differently to difficult situations.
​
This experience will consist of four weekly 3-hour sessions and can be tailored for individuals or groups of up to four.
​
This workshop could be especially helpful for educators and first responders, as we learn how behavior is influenced by stress and trauma.
No horse experience required! All activities take place on the ground.
All activities take place outdoors. Please be prepared for the weather! ​
$195 for four sessions
