Spirit Horse, Therapy and Training

Spirit Horse, Therapy and Training Spirit Horse is a therapy practice that works with psychology, nature, & the bond with the horse Kaia starting riding and working with horses at age 7.

Kaia runs a private practice outside of Boulder, Colorado and specialized in EFP, Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy. She has dedicated her life to the study and discovery of the horse and human bond and offers services in both therapy and horse training. At 13, Kaia started to question the training methods that are common practice in the sport horse community and are based on principles of force and control instead of relationship. Kaia's passion for the human experience started to emerge as she found that horses and people have a common language, one that is often overlooked in our culture. Kaia has her Master's degree in transpersonal psychology from Naropa University and uses contemplative psychology and Gestalt work in her therapy practice as well. Kaia has worked with addictions, trauma, transitional events, relationships, anxiety, depression, and journeys to self discovery and works in both an office and in a horse field.

“Nothing forced is ever beautiful” -Xenophon
True beauty comes from uncoerced expression so may we stop trying to express ourselves in a way we think others will like and express ourselves the way we are. You will be that much more beautiful 🍁

Sitting with my last client of the day out in the field, talking about ways we remember to find our kindness, especially when it’s hard, I heard a little sound behind me. It was Mustang Tobi, in the evening golden hour, with a rainstorm rolling along side the mountains behind him. Those moments that take your breath away with beauty, those are the moments we truly are alive.

What horses have taught me: 🪶 Sometimes talking about our wounds does very little.
Knowing a lot about things doesn’t mean you will always feel better.
These examples are our head trying to figure out problems that our head can’t always figure out.
There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom.
Knowledge is knowing, often talking.
Wisdom is experience, often found in the fluidity of living our lives.
We can be blessed with both but wisdom is what changes us. It’s not enough to think about being soft. You need to be soft in the moments that really count. It’s not enough to think about being heartfelt. You need to be heartfelt in the moments that really count. It’s not enough to think about being vulnerable. You need to be vulnerable in the moments that really count.
☀️These moments will shape you. 💛
