"The farm is a kind of sanctuary. Welcomed by a donkey and the cutest sheep it was instant magic and I felt safe.
I came with so many questions about what I want my life to be. Karin and the horses gave me the clarity - and the answers - I was needing. " Kathleen

"A horse can help anyone suffering from PTSD find peace. It can teach a power-hungry Wall Street executive how to relax. It can nudge a middle-aged woman who curls up each night with a TV and a few forgotten dreams into opening her heart and finding love again." - Wyatt Webb, Miraval AZ

Why Horses?
The horses, such powerful animals, yet so sensitive, work as an energetic mirror - instinctively reading body language and revealing one's truest emotions and needs. Because they behave similar to humans in their social and responsive behavior it is easy for the child/adult to establish a connection with the horse.
These techniques are used in Horse Whisper Clinics, Horse Therapy and in EAL.
What to expect in a session:
The group work closely with one or more horses to reveal strengths, challenges, and heart's desire. No previous horse experience is necessary. All activities are non-riding and take place on the ground. We work with individuals as deeply as they want to go.
Specially designed non riding activities allow participants to deepen awareness of personal issues, core feelings and areas of bodily tension that inhibit their ability to reach their true potential. The horses and Karin teach participants how to make powerful choices based on awareness instead of habitual patterns.
Karin, like the horse, is present as a friend with special training who witnesses and assists as individuals and groups discover their strengths and find strategies to reinvent their future.
