Have you been curious about Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy? Here is a brief summary as well as bios about the horses we partner with in sessions. Riviera Solace is our newest team member and we look forward to partnering with her in sessions next week!✨🐴

Equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is a community-based, experiential approach to mental health that incorporates interactions with horses to support emotional growth and healing. Led by a licensed therapist and equine specialist, sessions focus on hands-on, ground-based activities that help participants build trust, increase self-awareness, and develop healthy coping skills in a safe and supportive outdoor setting.

Equine-assisted psychotherapy (EAP) is beneficial for individuals of all ages because it offers a hands-on, experiential approach to emotional growth and healing. Interacting with horses helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and trust, while providing immediate, nonjudgmental feedback that supports insight and personal development.

As a wellness coach, one of the most important things to me is meeting people exactly where they are.

Because I’ve been there… and honestly, I still have days where I am.

In the hard.In the overwhelm.In the constant juggle of being everything for everyone else.

Kids. Schedules. Responsibilities. Life.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, wondering…“When do I get to take care of me?”

That’s why I do this.

My coaching isn’t about adding more to your plate, it’s about helping you create simple, realistic habits that actually fit your life.

Support for your mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being (if that’s important to you)… without pressure, without perfection.

✨ This weekend only: I’m offering Pay-What-You-Can Wellness Coaching

No set price. No pressure.Just support that meets you where you are, financially and personally.

If you’ve been:
• Feeling overwhelmed
• Struggling to stay consistent
• Putting yourself last
• Or just needing someone in your corner

This is for you.

👉 Message me “WELLNESS” or comment below and I’ll reach out to you personally. Please share this with a friend or family member that you feel could use this support as well.

Spots are limited because I want to give real, intentional support.

Offer ends 4/26 at 11:59 PM.

Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t always mean something is wrong…
Sometimes it just means your mind and body need a reset.

Here are 3 simple ways to support your mental health today no pressure, just small steps:

• Step outside for 5–10 minutes of fresh air
• Drink a glass of water and take a few slow, deep breaths
• Take a short break from your phone or social media

It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
Small moments of care can make a big difference.

You deserve to feel grounded, supported, and okay even on the busy days

Finding the Right Fit in a Therapist

Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and it’s okay to take your time finding the right fit.

Therapy works best when you feel:
• Safe
• Heard
• Supported
• Able to build a trusting relationship

It’s also important to feel confident in your provider’s training and experience. Taking a moment to learn about a therapist’s background, credentials, and areas of focus can help ensure they’re equipped to support you in the ways you need.

For example, specialized approaches, like equine-assisted therapy, require more than general knowledge. They involve specific training and education to provide safe, effective, and meaningful care. At Solace, we value ongoing learning and have invested in accredited training to better serve our community.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” in therapy. The right therapist for someone else may not be the right fit for you, and that’s okay.

What matters most is finding someone who:
• Understands your needs
• Has the appropriate knowledge and training
• Meets you where you are
• And walks alongside you with compassion and care

You deserve support that feels right for you.

*If you’re exploring therapy options, we’re always here to answer questions and help guide you in finding the right fit.

Why Equine Assisted Psychotherapy? 🐴
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy
is an experiential form of therapy
that involves working with horses to
support emotional growth and healing.
Clients participate in activities such as
grooming, leading, and interacting
with horses alongside a licensed therapist
and equine professional.
Through these interactions,
clients can develop skills
such as communication, confidence,
emotional awareness,
boundaries, and trust.

Why Horses? 🐴
Horses are used in psychotherapy because they are highly sensitive, intuitive animals that naturally respond to human emotions and behavior. This makes them powerful partners in the therapeutic process.

What are the Benefits? ✨
Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy helps clients build confidence, improve emotional awareness, develop healthy boundaries, and strengthen communication and relationship skills. EAP can also reduce anxiety, improve coping skills, and help clients feel more confident, calm, and empowered.

Movement is a gift, not a punishment

It doesn’t have to be intense to matter.

Some days it looks like a workout.
Some days it looks like a walk outside.
Some days it’s just getting up and doing what you can.

There was a time I couldn’t move freely and that changed everything for me. It reminded me how easy it is to take our bodies for granted. (Mamas you know your body is capable of so much!)

Today, I move with gratitude.
Not because I have to… but because I can.

Start small. Start gently.
Your body deserves care, not criticism.

Wellness is about learning how to support your mind, body, and emotions with compassion, patience, and safe habits over time.

Positivity doesn’t mean ignoring what’s hard.
It means allowing space for growth while honoring where you are right now.

At Solace, we believe wellness grows best in community. You don’t have to carry everything alone.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, reach out. Support is here.
