Equine-Assisted Mental Health Resources

As a certified Equine Gestalt Coach, I am passionate about the power of horses to guide the healing process. Using their keen intuition and energetic sensitivity, horses get to the heart of the matter in a way that no human therapist can.
In this video, I describe how horses are amazing healers.

Two Northern VA resources for equine-assisted mental health:
• North Light Coaching
• Project Horse

My favorite place to take riding lessons or enjoy a gorgeous trail ride: The Natural Connection
