Come on out, meet the herd, and experience healing & connection

Healing Through Connection with Horse Therapy

Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy at JEM Wellness & Counseling is rooted in the trauma-informed model of Natural Lifemanship, which recognizes that healing happens within safe, connected relationships.

Sometimes the path to healing begins with pausing to notice our surroundings, regulate our nervous system, ground ourselves in the present, and partnering with equine can all support our journeys toward healing, recovery and growth. Safe, present, connected relationships are the cornerstone of us feeling well and connected to ourselves, leading us toward balanced and fulfilling lifestyles.

Through interactions with horses and a licensed therapist, clients learn to recognize emotions, regulate their nervous systems, build trust, establish boundaries, and experience authentic connection.

No riding experience is necessary.

RESTORING WITH HORSES

An Experiential Retreat for Healthcare Professionals

You spend your days caring for others.

This is your time to receive.

Through mindful, experiential interactions with the herd, you’ll have space to reconnect with yourself and receive some of the very things you offer others every day—presence, compassion, connection, and care.
