We all experience stress and stagnation in our lives. Similarly, all of us have the potential for growth and restoration.

Experience healing through connection—with yourself, others, and the world around you

Are you ready to move past barriers holding you back from a healthy, whole life with secure attachments? 

Are you looking for a supportive and judgement free approach to helping you regulate your nervous system, cultivate resilience, and create a life rooted in balance and connection. At Mane Source we offer a strength-based approach that focuses on growth and not labels as we help you navigate your path to safety and healing.

Our mission at Mane Source Counseling and Wellness is to help those seeking growth to find the right path. There’s more than one way to grow. Let us help you find your way. 

“Horses give us the unique opportunity to be fully present, without judgment and without expectations. They offer us the opportunity to evolve in-the-moment and take these lessons with us as we face challenges in our lives.”

Partner up with our herd of horses and a mental health professional to address your psychotherapy goals. Whether you’re in treatment elsewhere or seeking a new approach, our equine-assisted therapy sessions offer solutions to issues that may be difficult to address in a conventional setting.

  • Standalone Therapy: A unique, self-contained therapeutic experience to help you explore your goals and challenges.
  • Supplement to Existing Therapy: A powerful additional resource for those already in counseling, enhancing progress through hands-on engagement and connection with nature.

 

Work with our horses and therapist to explore a wide range of issues, including stress, trauma, emotional regulation, and personal growth, in an environment that promotes healing and transformation.

Are you interested in a combined riding lesson with a connected, holistic riding session?

In these innovative, helping sessions we come out to your farm for a riding lesson with your horse. This can be on an individual basis or for a clinic.

All of these activities are guaranteed to promote connecting from bit to heart.

Cultivate self-compassion and experience a real reset

These monthly workshops and small group sessions focus on learning self-compassion and incorporating self-care without adding stress.

Move beyond the idea of quick fixes through retail therapy and find your real reset.

This workshop will entail research-based interventions, including taking time in nature with animals, listening to your body, quieting the mind, and connecting to the present.
