I wanted to apologize about things being a little quieter here on our GouldWood Meadows page lately, and for that, I’m truly sorry. Life has been full in a very meaningful way — I’ve returned to university and am walking the path toward my Master’s in Counseling. This season has been one of deep learning, reflection, and growth, both personally and professionally, even if it has meant fewer moments shared online.

Even in the midst of full days and long nights of studying, my heart and my work remain here with you. Please know that I am never too busy for our incredible clients or for the sacred work that happens at GouldWood Meadows. This land, these animals, and each person who walks through our gates hold a very special place in my heart, and serving you continues to be my greatest honor.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge to come out, to breathe a little deeper, to reconnect, or to begin your own healing journey, I would love to hear from you. We are still welcoming clients and booking appointments — simply send me a message. Thank you for your patience, your trust, and for being part of this beautiful community. 🤍

From our hearts, our animals, and our land to you and yours—

I’m truly grateful to share something very close to my heart — a new interview titled “Life, Values & Legacy: Our Chat with Taylor Gould.” This interview isn’t just another story; it’s a blend of both darkness and light, a gentle unraveling of truths I’ve carried for a long time. It’s probably one of the only articles where I’ve allowed myself to be fully open about my past, my pain, and the pieces of myself that shaped who I am today. Sharing this felt vulnerable, but also healing, and I hope it brings a sense of connection to anyone who reads it.

This interview reminds me of something I’ve learned again and again: even in the darkest chapters, life continues to grow. Light finds its way back through the cracks. And if there’s anything I want someone to take from this, it’s the reminder that you are never alone. When the world feels heavy, when you feel like you have no one — please, reach out. Someone will always be there to meet you with kindness, care, and open arms. We are all human, all healing, and all deserving of support.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I hope these words bring warmth, comfort, and a gentle reminder that compassion — for ourselves and for others — can change everything. ❤️

Taylor Gould shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below. Hi Taylor, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What are

Did you know that we offer tarot/oracle readings?

Today, I felt called to pull my own cards, and my energy was drawn to this particular deck — a new one I had never opened until now. It felt like the perfect moment for its first message.

I’ve been building something with care and intention (III of Pentacles).

A new opportunity or beginning is opening up, bringing stability and growth (Ace of Pentacles).

A need to balance things and stay adaptable while everything shifts (II of Pentacles).

But I'm moving into a phase of confidence, passion, and authenticity (Queen of Wands).

Ultimately, I'm stepping into strong leadership and purpose-driven action (King of Wands).

This spread is incredibly positive — it shows growth, alignment, and stepping into my power.

If you would like your card drawn, please feel free to send me a private message!

🌿 Community Question 🌿

I was recently asked if I offer respite care, and it really got me thinking…

As many of you know, GouldWood Meadows is all about creating a peaceful, supportive space for rest, healing, and connection with nature (and of course, the horses ).

I wanted to ask the community — would there be interest in private respite care here at the farm or even off-site?

This would be a gentle, 1:1 care option for individuals who may need a calm, supportive environment while their caregivers take a much-needed break.

Just exploring the idea and would love to hear your thoughts or if this is something that might be helpful for families in our area.

Please feel free to comment below or send me a message!

✨ Meet Rumi — our newest (and fluffiest) therapist at GouldWood Meadows! ✨

She may be small, but don’t let her size fool you — Rumi is a little white bundle of calm energy, gentle curiosity, and a whole lot of love to share. 💕

Rumi specializes in quiet comfort and emotional connection. Her sessions offer the kind of stillness that reminds us healing doesn’t always have to be loud — sometimes it comes in soft hops, slow breaths, and the warmth of simply being seen. 🐰

She’s now available to take on clients (carrot donations appreciated 😉). Come meet her and experience just how powerful a few moments with this sweet soul can be. 🌿

✨Breathing Circle with Our Equine Partners ✨

I’m thinking of hosting a Breathing Circle in the coming weeks and wanted to see if there would be interest in joining this peaceful and grounding experience.

Our Breathing Circle is a gentle gathering designed to help you reconnect with yourself, your breath, and the present moment — all while being supported by the calming energy of our equine friends. Horses have an incredible ability to sense and mirror our emotions, helping guide us into deeper awareness, stillness, and balance.

During this session, we’ll focus on mindful breathing techniques, grounding practices, and heart-centered connection — both within ourselves and with the horses who share the space with us. It’s an opportunity to slow down, release tension, and find harmony in both body and spirit.

🌿 Details:
• $15 per person
• Limited spots available to keep the experience personal and peaceful
• Held at GouldWood Meadows with our equine partners 🐴

Would this be something you’d be interested in joining?

The date I'm tentatively looking at would be the 18th.

They say “no hoof, no horse”—and it’s true. A horse’s hooves are their foundation, carrying not only their weight but also their freedom, their grace, and their spirit. Every step they take begins with the hoof, every journey—whether long or short—is guided by the strength of those four sacred pillars.

Physically, their hooves connect bone, tendon, and muscle to the living earth beneath them. They carry miles of history, of journeys made beside humans, of quiet moments in pastures, and of wild runs beneath the open sky. Their hooves are their grounding, their anchor, and their protection. When we care for their hooves, we are not just maintaining their health—we are safeguarding their ability to move freely, to dance, to run, and to live as they were meant to live.

Spiritually, a horse’s hoof holds deep symbolism. Each strike upon the earth is like a drumbeat of the soul, reminding us of rhythm, of balance, of the importance of staying grounded even as we move forward. Their hooves are a bridge between the physical and the spiritual—the place where heaven’s breath meets the soil of the earth. They remind us to be steady, to root ourselves deeply, and to honor the ground we walk upon.

To care for a horse’s hooves is to honor the whole horse—their body, their heart, their spirit. It is also a mirror for us: reminding us to care for our own foundations. Just as a horse cannot thrive without healthy hooves, we too cannot move with ease through life without tending to our grounding, our balance, and our inner stability.

✨🐎 May we always remember to walk with intention. May we honor the earth beneath our feet as the horse does, with reverence and respect. And may we find the same balance, freedom, and grace that they so generously show us with every step.

On our recent journey, we were gifted with the sight of seven beautiful black bears — each one a reminder of nature’s deep wisdom and the quiet messages it carries. 🐻✨

In many traditions, the bear is a powerful spiritual guide. It embodies strength and courage, yet also teaches us about rest, introspection, and balance. Bears remind us that there is a time to act with fierce protection and a time to retreat inward for renewal.

Seeing seven bears feels especially meaningful — seven is a sacred number often tied to spiritual awakening, divine alignment, and inner growth. It feels like a message to trust the cycles of life, to honor both our power and our stillness, and to remember that we are always supported by something greater than ourselves.

Witnessing these majestic beings in their natural rhythm was not just a moment of wonder — it was a blessing, a gentle nudge to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with our own inner wildness and wisdom. 🌿💫

May we carry the spirit of the bear with us:

Strength in times of challenge

Gentleness in times of stillness

Guidance when walking unknown paths
