Equine Therapy Workshop

Children who have behavioral and emotional challenges take a special super power.

Using that skill 24 hours a day can drain you and cause you to become  unfocused and unsure of who you are as a parent.

Their needs take up your time and your energy.

You feel overwhelmed.

You know you had it at one point, but now you question the best next therapy.  Which is the best parenting method? What is the best next step?

You know you are the beacon, but what direction are you pointing?

Join us for an inspirational one day workshop   to find your center as a parent and a person.

• Spend the morning working hands on with Equine Therapy horses learning about what the herd dynamics can teach us as parents as well as the innate wisdom of horses.

• Learn how to identify what element both you and your child are and how that can influence interactions, how to handle situations and how that can ground you.

• Discover how parent-child attachment supports regulation, connection, and self-compassion.

• Learn self massage techniques to ground and calm your own nervous system so you can handle the challenges that present themselves.
