Equine Assisted Wellness
Why use horses?
​
Mental health needs are more important now than ever. Clients need to work through their life struggles without feeling judged or having another person interpret their issues, horses are highly sensitive and the perfect partner to help clients do just that.

Even today, death and dying is still considered a taboo topic. We are all on this journey. End of Life deserves dignity. As an End of Life Doula, I will help you and your family have a peaceful end of life experience.
