If you've lost someone you love, you've probably been told to move on.

Find closure.

Let go.

But love doesn't work that way, and the science agrees.

Our 6-week grief group, beginning March 22nd, is built around Continuing Bonds Theory and Induced After-Death Communication (IADC) research, both of which show that staying connected to your loved one, sensing their presence, finding meaning in signs, transforming the relationship rather than ending it, is actually how people heal.

Facilitated by Maranda MacDonald, a therapist trainee with a background in philosophy, mediumship, and intuitive development, this group holds space for both the psychological and spiritual dimensions of loss.

You show up as you are.
That's enough.

Something shifts when you stand next to a horse.

Before you say a word, before you even know what you're feeling, they do.

Horses don't respond to the version of yourself you show the world. They respond to what's actually happening inside you. And for a lot of people, that's the first time anyone has. Science backs this up, time with horses lowers cortisol, calms the nervous system, and creates the kind of felt safety that makes real healing possible. But anyone who's experienced it will tell you: it's hard to put into words. That's what we do at Walk Intuit.

Trauma-informed equine-assisted therapy in the heart of Orange County, for individuals ready to try something different, and for treatment centers looking to bring something truly powerful to their clients.

If you run a residential or outpatient program and you've been curious about adding equine therapy as a group or individual offering, let's talk.

We'd love to be part of what you're building.

With ourselves. With others. With the earth. With the more-than-human-world.

It's not about fixing—it’s about being met. Being felt. Being safe enough to
soften, to feel.

In somatic and attachment-based therapy, we don’t force change, we create the conditions for the nervous system to feel, gently and over time.

At Walk Intuit, we honor that healing is slow, relational, and sacred.

🐴✨ Therapist Spotlight: Sara Eberlein

she/her | APCC #19038 | Supervised by Jennifer Schilling, LPCC #1544

Before becoming a therapist, Sara spent a decade in the entertainment industry, guided by a lifelong belief in the healing power of creative and expressive arts. That journey led her to a Master's in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine — and eventually, to the horses.

Sara works from a person-centered, holistic, and trauma-informed orientation, specializing in trauma & PTSD, foster care & adoptive youth, spiritual issues, grief & loss, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care. She's trained in Somatic Experiencing®, Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, Expressive Arts, and more.

The photo she's sharing today is one of her with Penny, our beloved therapy horse who passed away this week. Penny's gift of attunement, presence, and honesty lives on in the work Sara continues to bring to every session. 🤍

Sara shared that in this season, she is walking into Alignment + Fire Horse Energy. 🔥🐴

Meet the heart behind Re-Storying the Self ✨

Alyssa Lopez, MFT Trainee (supervised by Cassandra Seidler, LCSW #117734), is the facilitator guiding this 8-week narrative group therapy experience, and she brings something really special to this work.

Alyssa carries both professional training and lived experience as a Mexican Indigenous person and veteran into the therapy space. She offers deeply attuned, culturally responsive care for those navigating intergenerational trauma, PTSD, and complex trauma, especially for people whose healing journeys are shaped by culture, identity, and relational history.

Her approach brings together trauma-informed therapy, somatic practices, equine-assisted therapy, ecotherapy, and expressive arts, creating space for you to reconnect with your body, explore your story, and move toward healing that actually feels like yours. 🌱

When asked what she's walking into this year, Alyssa shared:
💬 "This year, I'm walking into this work grounded with authenticity, meeting clients where they are and honoring who they are becoming."

Currently in her final year of the Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology program at National University, Alyssa receives weekly supervision at Walk Intuit as part of our full ecosystem of interdisciplinary care. She approaches therapy with curiosity, care, and a deep commitment to honoring both where you've been and where you're going. 💚

This morning, we said goodbye to our beloved Penny.

After many months of navigating significant pain and ongoing chronic health challenges, she passed peacefully, and we are grateful she is no longer suffering.

Penny was a healer in her own right, offering presence and attunement to clients, volunteers, and clinicians in ways that words can rarely capture. In her final weeks, our community showed up for her the way she had always shown up for them, singing her songs, coloring pages in her honor, offering quiet presence and heartfelt words of gratitude. It was a beautiful and fitting goodbye.

We are holding all the feelings today, grief, gratitude, and the bittersweet ache of loving an animal who gave so much of herself.

If you feel called to honor Penny’s memory, her donation page remains live on our website. Every contribution continues to support the herd she was part of and the healing work she helped make possible.

Penny, 2005–2026.
May you run free.
