Meet Belle Shook
Equine Guidance® offers a herd of hypoallergenic horses so that all people have the opportunity to experience three hours of sensory, psychological, and spiritual attunement in a safe, outdoor environment.
Horses are powerful teachers that give gentle and accurate guidance into your life through intentional interaction. This is an opportunity to listen to a language older than words where you’ll uncover and balance the energy in your nervous system. By shifting worn out emotional states, you will gain new insights to carry beyond the barn, arena, and Sedona.
Humans experience trauma through relationships.
Healing trauma is an ongoing process.
Horses allow healing through human connection.
Hearts, bodies, minds, and spirits: Experience horse—human harmony.
Equine Guidance® is a unique journey that accelerates personal mastery, spiritual attunement, and emotional balance.
"These experiences totally met my expectations and mirrored feelings and emotions I have in my life… I have learned so much about why things are the way they are and what I can do to change it. The horses reflect who you really are without judgment. Thank you this experience has changed my life”
-AURELIO, New Mexico
“This was a life-changing experience. I feel as though I have tools that are powerful and easy to use daily in my life.”
