Mimi, Salsa, Penny & Belle (do you see Penny?!)

Hello Everyone!

Oh my goodness, where has the time gone?

We’ve been extremely busy here at Equine Guidance®, and we’re grateful for this time and space to connect with you!

We want you to know that you’re on our minds and are here for you!

With Labor Day right around the corner, we also want to pay tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers honored since 1894 🙏

We understand that as we emerge from the pandemic and into our new normal, so many businesses are understaffed – let’s have patience, please!

Because our increased levels of frustration, anxiety and stress often land in the body as inflammation, chronic illness, and pain.

Now’s the time to practice noticing and automatically engaging in focused breathing, following the breath into our lungs, and exhaling completely. Feel the magic of our beautiful circulation system.

And, as an auto-response, we can silently say and affirm to ourselves:

I observe with joy as Life abundantly supports and cares for me
I know that only good awaits me at every turn
All is well
Everything is working out for my highest good
Thank you, Louise Hay!

Have a fabulous weekend!

With kindness,

Belle, Salsa, Penny, and Mimi too!

“It’s a typical day in the arena.

Belle, and her horse, Penny, prepare for the next client.

Belle opens the gate to allow the woman into Penny’s space, but something unexpected happens. Penny bares her teeth. Her ears

were pinned back against her head. She lowers her head as if to charge the woman. And Belle quickly closes the gate to separate Penny from the woman. This has never happened in the two decades that Belle and her herd have worked together.

There is a moment of confusion. Seconds earlier, when Belle…

A Book I Recommend!

The Practical Guide for Healing Developmental Trauma

I appreciate the work of Larry Heller and NARM because, like no other trauma-informed approach, he takes into account aces, developmental trauma, and how identity and our sense of self are formed through relationship.

The experiences from our formative years develop our psyche as the foundation of our unconscious mind and are full of interpsychic

conflicts and interpersonal harmony.

As a NARM practitioner, understanding the difference between shock and developmental trauma has been significant in being able to help people work through the neurobiology of trauma with far more grace and ease.

NARM is an integrated mind-body framework that identifies and treats the complex ways childhood trauma can manifest in interpersonal difficulties, maladaptive patterns, identity issues, and disrupted affect regulation.

More About The Book

What People Are Saying About Equine Guidance® & Belle ~ Google Five Star Reviews:

“From my first Equine Guidance webinar I felt drawn to know more about this therapeutic approach. The moment I left the chaotic world outside and entered the stable it was clear something entirely different was already in process. I was the guest of a herd whose goal was harmony.

In a unique alchemy of horse and human Belle serves as Guide and Interpreter. Together with Mimi. Penny, and Salsa they work as a team.

Belle tracked me throughout as my own system responded to the herd. She provided the signposts and guardrails of somatic therapy to ensure safety in navigating between the trauma vortex and resources as they arose.

It was a wordless process of observing, receiving, and responding when invited, a primal language of breath, sensation, movement, awareness, and presence. While Belle provided context cues, the horses were clear with each other and with me about who worked when and when the work was finished.

As moments in the non-linear world tend to do, the three hours passed quickly, a fleeting, privileged connection to something that may once have been our birthright. It was several days before words came to adequately convey my impressions. My Equine Guidance session left me with a lingering state of well-being and a profound sense of having been imprinted on a fundamental level.

With their dignified clarity and respectful awareness of body, space, and boundaries, these gentle, graceful Beings have much to teach about being at peace.”
