We are in the downhill slide of 2025–the Year of The Snake. We are preparing to leave some things in 2025; take some things with us into 2026; and kick off new beginnings, living with purpose and intent.

2026 will be bringing us some exciting new therapy opportunities for clients—offering services that will bridge the gap between those who are insured and those who are not—guaranteeing quality mental health counseling for everyone who seeks it out. More info to come on that soon!

Happy New Year!! May you find rest, reflection, and peace as we ring in 2026 and close the door on 2025.

All of this. 🩷 The barn yard is a sacred place where we can find ourselves—whether that be in the warm office or bundled up visiting the horses.

I’ve got on my winter thermals! So we are good to go! See you at your next appointment!

We worry about our horses. We worry about them spending too much time inside, developing vices, getting stiff, getting bored.

But we rarely stop to notice that we have become "life sour."

Look at the human habitat:

We sleep in a brick box.
We commute in a metal box.
We sit for 8 hours staring at a glowing light box.

We are the ones living in captivity. We are the ones who are domesticated, clipped, and rugged by society. We are fed a diet of artificial urgency, blue light, and processed stress... 📱

And we wonder why we feel anxious.
We wonder why we feel "nappy" on a Monday morning.

Then... we drive to the yard in our metal boxes 🚗

It is often the only time in 24 hours that we touch something real. Mud. Cold water. Rough hair. The smell of earth and hay....unless you work here.

We tell ourselves we go there to exercise the horse. But if we are honest about it. They are the ones exercising us.

They are re-wilding us, one grooming session at a time. They are the anchor that pulls us out of our heads and back into our bodies. They remind our nervous systems that we are not designed for spreadsheets—we are designed for connection.

When you feel that desperate, magnetic pull to go to the yard, even when it’s freezing, even when you are exhausted... That isn’t just a "hobby." That is your survival instinct fighting for air.

You aren’t just "checking on the horse." You are escaping the human zoo for an hour to remember what it feels like to be a living thing.

So if you just stood in the field today and breathed them in? You didn’t waste time. You just came up for air. 🫁🐴
