Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Schedule NowMindfulness Based Stress Reduction Guided Meditation
Mindfulness Meditation has been shown to stimulate the new neural pathway growth (neuralplacticity), reduce stress, anxiety, and make other healthy changes to the brain – including reduction in size to the amygdala – which plays a role in the fear response and hypervigilance. Meditations are guided, along with a live-played Tibetan singing bowl.
