There’s something different that happens in the pasture.
No walls, no pressure… just presence, breath, and energy moving freely.

I’m so excited to introduce my new offering-
The Pasture Reset: Reiki Healing with Horses

A deeply grounding experience where you’re invited to slow down, soften, and receive.
Horses are powerful energy transmitters.
They feel what we often don’t say, and in their quiet awareness, they help guide the body back into balance. As Reiki flows, the herd often joins in… standing with you, around you, sometimes gently interacting, always attuned.

This is not something you “do.”
It’s something you allow.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply craving a reset… this space is here for you.

The horses told me to post this. 🤷🏼‍♀️🐴✨

Healing has taught me to be a little more protective of my energy, a little more trusting of my intuition, and a lot less interested in taking advice from people who have never walked the path I’m on.
Your healing is personal.

Your boundaries are allowed to be personal, too.
And sometimes the most therapeutic thing you can say is…
✨ poof, be gone. ✨ by @halfhalthooligan

For a long time I believed healing lived somewhere ahead of me. If I could understand enough, learn enough, hold it all together well enough, eventually I'd find my way back to myself. Life has a way of asking us to carry impossible things.

Grief found me more than once. Anxiety became familiar. My body carried illness, heartbreak, motherhood, loss, and all the invisible weight that comes from surviving. Somewhere along the way I became very good at functioning while quietly drifting away from myself.

Then the horses found the places words never could, and not because they fixed me, but rather because they never asked me to be anything other than what I already was. Standing beside them felt like stepping into another world. A place where time moved differently. Where breath mattered more than conversation. Where the body remembered an older language that the mind had long forgotten.

Our horses know this language well.

They are retired racehorses. They have lived lives of urgency, adrenaline, expectation, and constant motion. They know what it means to exist in survival. And somehow, after all they've lived through, they choose presence instead.

There is something deeply alchemical about that. They don't ask you to explain your pain or earn your belonging. They simply meet you where your soul has quietly been waiting.

Healing With Horses grew from that remembering. It is a weaving together of somatic work, Reiki, nervous system regulation, and the ancient wisdom of the horse. Not to change who you are, but to help you remember the version of yourself that has always been there beneath the noise.

If you've been feeling the quiet call to come home to yourself, perhaps it isn't a coincidence that you've found your way here.

Sometimes the old medicine doesn't arrive in words.

Sometimes it arrives on four feet. by @halfhalthooligan

✨The Queer Mystic Day-long Retreat Program is here✨

Join us for a day of somatic healing, mystical experiences, nature, and meaningful connection created for our queer community and our allies. From connecting with rescue horses to sound healing, energy work, and community conversations, this is a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find your people. 🌿🐴🔮

Your ticket does more than give you a day of healing — it helps support animal rescue, mental health, and accessible community wellness💚

Grab your tickets before October 17th to take advantage of our discounted pricing! Come be part of something meaningful, and let’s grow a little magic together.

We can’t wait to share this day with you! ✨

#QueerCommunity #QueerHealing #SomaticHealing #animalrescue #mentalhealthmatters❤️

@winplacehome will guide the group through an interactive energy demonstration with their OTB rescue horses, offering a unique opportunity to explore the subtle energy we carry and how it influences those around us✨

Through the horses’ natural sensitivity to body language and presence, you’ll get to experience firsthand how your energy can shape your connection with these beautiful animals🐴💜

We’ll come together in a cozy, intentional group setting to create our own sage bundles using a blend of herbs and flowers🪻🌼

For centuries, cultures around the world have used sacred herbs in rituals for cleansing, grounding, and setting intentions💖

As we mindfully gather and bundle our natural materials, you’ll have a chance to slow down, connect with the group, and create something meaningful to take home with you.

This somatic group experience invites you to slow down, reconnect with your body, and explore the emotions we carry within us🧘

Guided by our facilitator, you’ll move through intentional movements and visualization exercises designed to deepen self-awareness, release tension, and create space for emotional expression.

Come as you are, move at your own pace, and leave feeling more grounded, present, and connected to yourself💓

Halfway through the day, we’ll take a pause to enjoy coffee and matcha, browse our local vendors, explore tarot, and shop unique finds. by @halfhalthooligan

Olli.
Our sweet girl has been with us a long while. As with everyone, human and horses alike,it’s been a journey in uncovering the layers of life to reveal what lays beneath. We have shown her many different paths, gently encouraging her to find her joy and light in this next part of her life, but nothing has truly sparked her inner flame. Until now.

There is something quietly sacred about watching her find her way into this work. As though some old knowing stirs beneath her skin, and she remembers a language we are still learning to hear.

When this beautiful client returned after her first Reiki session, Olli saw her and went straight to her. Watching them, I could almost hear, “She is for me.”

She offered her heart so willingly, so completely. And beside her was a woman who sees Olli’s gifts, believes in her journey, and keeps showing up for her.

I watched them soften together, each receiving something from the other. The horse wanting to belong, finding belonging in a moment. The woman coming to be held, offering that same tenderness back.

This is how the old magic moves through us. Through recognition. Through returning. Through two souls finding a place to rest in each other.

Thank you for loving Olli along the way, and for letting her love you back. 🤍 by @halfhalthooligan

We’ll spend time with horses, practice somatic work, enjoy a riveting sound-bath, walk amongst a market of healers & makers, and so much more.

We’ll provide spaces for facilitator-led conversations about what it’s like to be queer in today’s time, while we unravel and release the weight of recent events

While our conversations and support spaces will be queer focused, we welcome any allies to join us for the day to give space for our friends, and our family, to feel safe and seen💜

🎟️Tickets are on sale for $99, and use code EARLYBIRD before Oct. 17th to snag them for only $85.

People often ask what I love most about this work.

I could talk about nervous systems, co-regulation, presence, and the quiet ways horses invite us back into ourselves.

And all of that is true.

But the truth underneath it all is much simpler.

I genuinely love being with them.

I love their personalities, their quirks, the way they keep me humble, the way they always seem to have their own ideas about how the day is going to unfold. I love that no matter how much I learn, they remind me there's always more to notice.

Some of my favorite moments aren't the big breakthroughs.

They're the laughter.
The muddy boots.
The curious noses.
The unexpected interruptions that somehow end up being exactly what was needed.

Maybe that's why this work feels so special.

It holds space for profound healing, but it also leaves plenty of room for joy.

And I think the horses would want it that way. 🤍 by @halfhalthooligan

I've been riding horses since I was four years old...

But somewhere along the way I realized it wasn't riding that had shaped me the most. It was the quiet moments spent beside them. Life has a way of leaving its imprint on us. Grief, loss, anxiety, illness, and all the ways we learn to keep moving while quietly carrying more than we were ever meant to. For years I searched for answers with my mind, trying to understand my way through it all, yet there was always a distance between what I knew and what my body could actually feel.

The horses gently closed that distance.

They never asked me to explain myself or make sense of what had happened. They met me in silence, responding not to the stories I carried, but to the person standing in front of them. Little by little, my breath slowed. My body softened. It felt less like learning something new and more like remembering something ancient that had always been there beneath the noise.

That is where Healing With Horses began.

Not from a desire to teach people about horses, but from witnessing what becomes possible when we stand beside a being who asks nothing of us except that we arrive as we are. Again and again, I've watched retired racehorses offer the same quiet invitation they once offered me: to slow down, to come home to the body, and to discover that sometimes the deepest healing begins without a single word. by @halfhalthooligan

We’re so quick to ask what a moment means.

Did something shift?
Was it healing?
What did you learn?

But I don’t think every meaningful moment has to become a breakthrough.

Sometimes a horse rests their head beside you.
You feel their breath.
You stand there together.

And nothing needs to happen next.

I think we need more experiences that aren’t asking us to turn them into progress.

Moments that don’t have to be productive to matter.

That’s part of what I love about being with horses.

They bring us back to what is actually happening…
before we decide what it needs to mean. by @halfhalthooligan

You don’t have to tell your story

Sometimes we don’t need to explain what happened.

We don’t need to find the right words.
Or make sense of everything we’ve been carrying.

Sometimes we simply need a place where the body can soften.

Horses meet us there.

They notice the breath we’re holding.
The tension we’ve learned to live with.
The difference between being present…
and trying to do presence “right.”

They don’t need the whole story.

They respond to the person standing in front of them.

And sometimes, being met exactly where you are is where something begins to shift.

This is Healing With Horses.
Grounded.
Horse led.
No riding or horse experience needed.
