Come as you are... Discover the person you are truly meant to be.
​One session with Karin and the horses can turn your life around.  
This work goes beyond words, and is different than traditional talk therapy - to a place of inner authenticity, pure intention and pure energy.  You have to experience this yourself! Amazing!
"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 
We work closely with clients to help them discover the person they are truly meant to be. We help discover emotional wounds and foster complete healing. You will gain greater self awareness and experience personal growth.

The farm, a kind of a sanctuary with all the farm animals, the nature, the calming energy and its beautiful surroundings, is a part of the deeper experience.

​"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.

Our training:
Board Certified Integrative Family Health Counselor Karin Yapalater & renowned Pediatrician Dr. Greg Yapalater are Master Horse & Child Whisperers and experts in the field of Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) and Animal-Assisted Family Therapy (AAT). Together with Socz, our horse trained in natural horsemanship, and the gentle animals on the farm we offer this incredible opportunity for healing & growth.
