Why Join A Group
At first, the idea of participating in a group might seem intimidating. Who wants to share their story with strangers? You can share as much or as little as you want. Group can be very beneficial. In fact, participants are often surprised by how rewarding their experience can be. Groups meet for 1 hour to one hour and 30 minutes. All groups are held outside at the farm, or in the barn. Our groups are closed, which means you must join the group from the start date, you can not join after the group has started. Each week we build on skills and information that was provided the week before.

You stole who I was and placed self doubt into my mind. You left me questioning my value. I’m at war every day trying to dilute the toxic shame you feed. My state of being is in constant turmoil, I don’t know who I am any more. That’s a difficult place to be. In order to have a healthy relationship you first need to recover yourself. Our program gives you the tools and support to discover all those wonderful strengths and attributes you have hidden.

Barn Buddies
Neurodiverse equine therapy is a therapeutic approach tailored to individuals with neurodevelopmental differences, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, dyslexia, and other related conditions. This form of therapy uses interactions with horses to promote emotional, social, and cognitive development in a calm, non-judgmental environment.
The therapy works by leveraging the natural sensitivity of horses to human emotions and body language, helping neurodiverse individuals improve communication skills, self-regulation, and emotional awareness. Horses can mirror a person’s emotional state, offering immediate, non-verbal feedback that helps individuals learn to manage anxiety, focus on the present moment, and develop empathy.

Beautiful Balance
Do you often feel depressed or experience increased anxiety and stress. You may even feel like you’re on an emotional roller coaster. If left unresolved can cause serious health issues both physically and emotionally. This is common after experiencing a bad relationship or even unresolved issues from childhood. Hi I’m Jennifer, I felt lost, I had changed so much I didn’t even recognize myself anymore. Finding me again changed my life and I want to walk with you on your journey to find you again. Change can be scary and difficult, but it is so worth it. As your Trauma Recovery Coach, we will create a plan and get excited about what the future holds for you.
The group is a 10-weeks program where we learn how to trust again, heal our lost emotions, find self-compassion, and be comfortable having our voices heard. Groups are typically six to eight participants that meet once a week. Call for more information 828-330-4152

Not being office-based helps the teen participate during the session. – As a result, Equine Assisted TRC is engaging and interesting. “I showed up today because of my horse.” according to one youth. They look forward to being at the barn and working hands-on, learning trust, respect, and communication skills with their horse and their parents, teachers, and peers.
“My husband and I were struggling to make sense of our teen’s behaviors. The stress and tension made me frustrated and angry. Our family needed help. We found it, together with WWM we made the changes necessary for a healthier home life.” Miller Family
