Discovering empowerment

About UNTETHERED at the Wellness Collective
Our Mission
At UNTETHERED, we’re driven by our desire to provide alternative solutions for the discovering, defining
& approaching of stress and trauma which all too often tether us in mental cages of anxiety, ptsd, complex ptsd, and addictive habit patterning.
Our experiential based, hands-on, Equine Programs open a path toward self-discovery, empowerment,
inner-belief & strength, purpose, societal reintegration after trauma / abuse / first response / incarceration /
war / addictive habit patterning / anxiety & address the labels we carry as a result of these experiences.
Horses have a magnificent way of encouraging us toward Healing & they provide a perfect place to begin by teaching us what it means to live IN the present MOMENT; for it is learning to live within the present, that our wellness and untethering begins.
Our Programs
Proudly serving our valued Community at large, military Veterans, police force, 1st responders, abuse survivors, formerly incarcerated, & at-risk youth with a focus on Emotional Balance & WellBeing after
Loss | Trauma | Habit Recovery | Abuse | Domestic Violence | Isolation & Anxiety
We offer a variety of wellness programs tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients.
Our programs address the dire need for pause & stillness within an anxious, stressful & busy world. In pairing with the horses, we begin to unlock all too common, collective symptoms of anxiety, depression, loss of purpose, ptsd/cptsd, grief, anger & the need to reintegrate our SELVES into society after stress, trauma & loss.
TRAUMA APPEARS DIFFERENTLY FOR EVERYONE.
Stress & loss of Self arrive, & range, from a variety of reasons ~ appearing for some as a separation of family, to surgery or illness, from a high-stress career, to a deeply integrated war-time memory, to childbirth, or to being a sibling or parent of a special needs child. ...the list continues on.
Untethered at the Wellness Collective assists in addressing varied symptoms of dysregulation by creating a holding of space & time spent with our horses.
In addition, we offer diversified somatic healing modalities of movement, auditory therapy, trauma informed yoga and much more to immerse oneself into on their journey of recovery,
self-discovery & reintegration.
Our Practitioners
Our team of practitioners are educated, trained & personally experienced in various equine wellness modalities including, but not limited to,
Liberty Horsemanship, Horse Speak, EAGALA, and most importantly carry awareness & personal recovery from wartime & service/first responder related trauma, domestic violence, substance, sexual & emotional abuse and neurodivergence.
Our practitioners are focused on self-discovery, recovery & re-integration through hands-on equine experiences that offer self-realization, introspection & time spent with our herd.
We are a team as real as it gets, each leading from personal life experience, enabling us
to both HEAR you, understand you, & offer
one of a kind, life opening programs & guidance.
How it Works ~ Why Horses?
A quick intro into...why horses?
Quite simply, I believe they are angels wrapped in horsehair.
People often fear horses due to their size, however, truth is, horses are prey animals, not predators & deeply embedded within their dna, they think you want to eat them.
Horses are natural healers.
...Empathic, ...Present, ...Mirrors.
They encourage us to come into relationship & trust with our Self, as we build relationship & trust with them. Horses are fully grounded in their bodies & live guided by the wisdom of their senses, which allow them to be present in each living moment. ...something humans struggle mightily to do, with or without trauma.
In order to feel safe with us, they ask us to trust ourselves & to communicate our intentions clearly. As prey animals, they are highly attuned to the energy of their surroundings, so while in the presence of a horse, we are given the opportunity to become deeply aware of our own energy, trust (or mistrust) in self, & capability.
They ask us to be present & grounded within our own bodies, in order to live closely with them. Energetically, they become our mirror, responding to & reflecting our own inner emotions, sensations & experience.
Intensely loyal & proud beings, horses have carried humankind both physically, emotionally & spiritually for thousands of years.
They invite us to walk confidently rather than shrinking to remain small, unseen, wounded or incapable. And thus, they help us release what no longer serves our highest being.
They encourage our untethering & liberation so that we may find peace.
Horses. Are. Magic.
When you meet our Herd, there is no riding required. Each horse is as unique, ..as storied & as much a treasure ...as you are.
All of our programs are based in intuitive, intentional, ground work. Meaning, you partner with the horses when YOU are ready.
The horses greet you, ... where you are, whether you wish to watch them, walk with them, stand next to them... Your pace, your opening.
Our Vision
Our vision is YOU ✨ Here at UNTETHERED, your empowerment unfolds through the learning of the horse herd, of how they work to stay at peace & alive, and of how we as humans are similar and yet vastly different.
Serving as mirrors for us, their majesty, patience, empathy & authenticity
help push us through the barriers to healing.
We are honored to have the ability & opportunity to stand with you; individuals of all ages & experiences, serving as conduit toward your freedom & UNTETHERING from the frustration, anxiety, sorrow, shame & trauma that holds you back.
