Equine Therapy

HEAL - INTEGRATE - RECONNECT

Equine therapy sessions offer a powerful space for healing, integration, and reconnection—guided by the attuned presence of horses. In partnership with these deeply intuitive animals, we explore the inner landscapes of emotion, regulation, and embodiment. Whether you're navigating grief, trauma, life transitions, or seeking a more grounded relationship with yourself, equine therapy creates the conditions for deep, sustainable transformation. Sessions are relational, somatic, and trauma-informed—grounded in nervous system attunement, authentic connection, and embodied presence.

We operate out of several tranquil ranch facilities in Longmont, CO.

Equine therapy sessions are available for:

• Individuals (kids, teens, and adults)

• Families or small groups

• Mental health professionals and helping practitioners seeking experiential support

Equine therapy may be supportive if you are:

• Moving through grief, anxiety, trauma, or relational wounds

• Seeking a body-based, nature-connected approach to healing

• Longing to deepen your sense of inner safety and embodied presence

• Exploring personal growth beyond traditional talk therapy

No prior horse experience is necessary—just a willingness to be present.

Session Structure

Sessions are held on the ground (no riding), in a peaceful pasture or round pen setting. Each session is unique and may include:

• Mindfulness and regulation practices

• Body based tracking and inquiry

• Liberty work and ground-based relational exercises with horses

• Time for reflection, integration, and insight

Sessions can be booked individually or as part of a broader therapeutic development program.

Equine Therapy Team

Our partnered equine therapists work 1:1 with clients in Boulder County and also support our group programs—both therapeutic and corporate. Whether in private sessions or group experiences, our facilitators integrate equine wisdom with somatic and relational approaches to support meaningful growth and transformation. Please contact us if you would like to schedule a consultation with a member of our team.

The EQUUSLIBERE HERD

EquusLibere works in partnership with my not for profit project, Bridging Unicorns, and I am grateful to steward three rescue equine partners - Rasa, Ocean, and Eclipse. Each of them has an incredible story, and their journeys have taken each of them from being slaughter-bound to joining forces with me in healing and development work.

Rasa

coaching background 

I am a PCC-level Integral Coach, and since 2016 I have practiced coaching in both personal and corporate settings through EquusLibere and Emergence Leadership Consulting. From the beginning, my coaching work has been deeply interwoven with horses as profound partners in helping clients reconnect with their innate wisdom. My passion for whole-system, bottom-up development has led me to pursue extensive training in somatic therapeutic modalities, including Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy and Polarity Therapy. I also hold credentials in chaplaincy, bringing a grounded, compassionate presence to my work.

My approach is further informed by my ongoing Master’s in Counseling at Adams State University, with a specialization in Equine Therapy. In my work with clients, I cultivate a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their hearts, bodies, and minds—and to allow their unique development process to unfold.

Integral Coaching

Integral coaching is a holistic approach that considers the whole person—mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. Integral coaching examines root causes impacting adult development. In my work with clients, we explore client’s "way of being,” which encompasses presence, mindset, and the ways we engage with the world, and look together at the results that their current operating system is creating. My coaching approach brings a strong focus to the body, or the ‘soma,’ with the recognition that our bodies and nervous systems hold invaluable wisdom. I work with clients to co-create a space of safety, attunement, and deep listening — allowing for client’s authentic impulses and empowerment to emerge.
