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, complex/ptsd, and reactive addictive habit patterning.
Our experiential based, hands-on, Equine Programs open a path toward self-discovery, empowerment,
inner-belief, purpose, & societal reintegration after trauma / abuse / first response / incarceration /
war / addictive habit patterning / anxiety, & address the broken relationships & labels we carry as a result of these experiences.
Horses have a magnificent way of encouraging us toward Healing & 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.
No labels required,.. & with Horse as our teacher, we offer relationship building & repair to groups and individuals, with focus on Emotional Balance, Attunement & WellBeing after
Loss | Trauma | Habit Recovery | Abuse | Domestic Violence | Isolation & Anxiety | Mid-life shift
We offer a variety of equine-assisted wellness programs tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. Sessions are tailored to the individual need, age, & goals of each participant.
Our programs address the dire need for pause & stillness within an anxious, stressful & busy world. In pairing with horses, we begin to unlock all too common, collective symptoms of disalignment; becoming embodied in the skills it takes to meet oneself in relationship to self, as well as relationship to others.
STRESS & TRAUMA APPEAR DIFFERENTLY FOR EVERYONE.
Broken relationships & loss of Self arrive and stem from a variety of reasons ~ trauma appears for some as result of poverty, abuse, divorce, adoption, an accident/surgery or illness, high-stress careers, deeply integrated memories, ..war, addiction, incarceration ...the list continues on.
No one person's trauma bears more weight. What breaks us, breaks us.
And dysregulation ensues.
UNTETHERED at the Wellness Collective provides clients a chance to practice Relational skills with horses before bringing those same skills back into their human relationships.
in building harmonious relationship with the Horse, we come into deeper relationship with Self ~ a deepening which then radiates into safe & healthy relationships with others.
Coming into Leadership for Self & horse holds keys to self-empowerment; helping us eliminate self doubt, eliminate negative habit patterning (that we often disappear into to relieve stress), builds attunement, & serves in finding of voice & our highest potential.
In addition, we offer diversified somatic healing modalities of movement, sound therapy, trauma informed yoga and much more, to immerse oneself into on their journey of self-discovery, recovery, & reintegration.
Our Facilitators
Our team of practitioners are educated, trained & personally experienced in various equine wellness modalities including, but not limited to,
Carolyn Resnick's Liberty Horsemanship for Equine Assisted Professionals, Horse Speak, EAGALA, and most importantly carry awareness & personal recovery from varied life experiences.
Our practitioners are focused on self-discovery, recovery & re-integration through experiential, hands-on equine experiences that offer self-realization, introspection & time spent with our herd.
In addition to education & certification, each facilitator leads 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, the truth is, horses are animals of prey, not predators and they do not seek aggression. Deeply embedded within the horse's DNA, they live by the inherent survival skill of Presence; something humans struggle to embody.
HORSES ARE HEALERS & MASTER TEACHERS
...Empathic, ...Present, ...often delivering a Mirror. Horses encourage us to come into relationship & trust with our Self, as we build relationship & trust with them & others.
Horses are fully grounded in their bodies & live guided by the wisdom of their senses, which allows 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 in ourselves & to communicate our intentions clearly. As animals of prey, 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 & attuned to our own energy, trust (or mistrust) in self, & our capability.
Horses ask us to be present, attuned & 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, horses help us release what no longer serves our highest being.
Horses encourage our Untethering & liberation by teaching us the profound gift of presence, so 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.
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.

HORSE GATHERINGS ~

(includes introduction to the farm, water/snack)
Come to UNTETHERED's unique Gatherings & immerse yourself with our Herd!
Horses are naturally grounded & deeply connected to the earth beneath their hooves. Highly attuned with the energy that surrounds them, horses show up as pure authentic beings, without narrative or design. They invite us to match their innate desire for calm; to slow our breath, & to become PRESENT to our own body, mind, energy & essence.
You can expect our Gatherings to be a blend of seated stillness, adventure (because horses are always exhilarating), serenity within nature, & self discovery.
All gatherings are immersive within the herd, with no mounted riding involved & no prior horse experience is necessary.
Part mindfulness, part serenity, part learning to live within each present moment, our unique Gatherings provide a tangible opportunity to slow down, to receive, & to be received.
Horses are magnificent Angels wrapped in horsehair!

For those wishing to delve deeper, we offer Rituals of Empowerment. Developed & facilitated by Jessica, Founder of UNTETHERED, & rooted in Carolyn Resnick's Method of Liberty Horsemanship.
With horse as our teacher, we learn to understand & develop healthy Attachment, Confidence, Esteem, Readiness & Attunement within our relationships; many of which have been challenged, broken or non-existent as a result of our varied Life experiences.
As we embody each Ritual, we come to understand its relevance, individual value & foundation, upon which all remaining rituals are built for healthy relational dynamics.
We learn that if even one Ritual is lost in translation, relationship often collapses.
This program translates not only to our daily human interactions & relationships, but also translates deeply into our relationship with horses.
Here, we learn attunement to Self, Surrounding, &
Other (our horses, family, co-workers, and community at large).
This program is for Human & Horse alike & for anyone who's ever worn (or been handed a label).
Come process, release, & step into the Empowerment of healthy Relational dynamic.
