We have a practicum student joining us at the barn for the next three months. Have a read through her introduction below. Send me a message if you would like to learn more about or access her services and I will get you connected!

As I move into my final practicum, I’m stepping more fully into the work I offer.

My practice is therapeutic in nature, though not clinical social work or psychotherapy. It is equine-facilitated, trauma-informed, and domestic-violence-informed, grounded in relationship, embodiment, intuition, and presence. This work supports people in slowing down, reconnecting to themselves, and exploring healing through lived, relational experience rather than talk alone.

I facilitate sessions independently, with consultation and supervision as needed, and my approach is shaped by rural practice, lived experience, and deep respect for safety, consent, and pacing.

You may see me tagged in posts related to this work, which is currently offered at a student/practicum rate, as well as posts about full moon circles and other intentional gatherings that I facilitate. These offerings reflect the work I am growing into — relational, grounded, and community-rooted.

I’m grateful to be walking this path alongside the horses, the land, and the people who feel called into this kind of work. If this resonates, you’ll find more information shared through those spaces, you can message me directly, or connect with the women tagged below👌🫶

Below is a write up about herself and her offerings during her practicum. If you would like more information on working with her through these next few months, send me a message and I can get you connected.

This weekend intensive is something we look forward to every year. Angie and I get to spend the weekend in the barn in circle with women who commit a weekend to tending to their own hearts. It is where some of the stories that inspired Mindful Humanship took place. And in addition to the equine work, Angie brings her sound bowls for a closing meditation.

Check the link out for more information.
