Belle Shook, MC, NCC, LPC, SEP, NARM, BCC, is a master healer with a visionary approach to Somatic Equine Therapy & Coaching.

A 3-day intensive utilizing The Equine Guidance® Method—gives time for:

Resolving the Intertwining of stress within the body:

Interconnected traumas should be addressed sequentially rather than simultaneously for more effective resolution. The extra time lets you, with help from the horses and Belle, work through each theme as it comes up—helping your nervous system find more harmony and integration.

We can support the syndromal effect.

Once you begin to unravel one thread, others appear, showing how interconnected symptoms and nervous system patterns can be.

Sequenced Integration: 

The body has a unique ability to protect us by hiding issues until it feels safe to confront them, which requires time, a compassionate witness, and a safe space. It’s essential to respect this process and allow time for healing. In a 3-hour intensive session, we may not get to deeper, more complex issues. 

Layered Healing: 

Day one creates safety to uncover the first layers; subsequent days allow deeper, more complex patterns to emerge from the nervous system. Allowing more time and space to address multiple issues to shift more complex energetic patterns.

The main difference between the 1-day and 3-day Equine Guidance® Intensives is the additional time and depth provided by the multi-day format, allowing for exploration of more complex issues and greater transformation.

The 3-day Equine Guidance® Method promises a comprehensive experience to renew your nervous system and address burnout, anxiety, and trauma, offering a unique opportunity for deep and effective healing that goes beyond traditional therapies.

Equine Guidance® is a destination experience, and guests have also combined their horse healing intensives to prepare their nervous system for bodywork, EMDR, plant medicine experiences, seminars, and conferences. Guests also find integration at Equine Guidance® after these events to be profoundly helpful. 

We are open and ready for you to prepare or integrate your nervous system to maximize outcomes.
