Developed by Colleen Campbell of Campbell Equine. Run by Colleen Campbell and Cris Carl, Therapist.

This unique program allows the horse to become the teacher. Students learn to be mindful of emotions, body language and clear communication, building self confidence and new skills which allow the student to heal themselves. Horses are amazing teachers requiring their students to be present and grounded. They patiently teach their students how to read body language, work as a team, be more mindful, patient and aware. Learning to read a horses body language and work with them helps build confidence, compassion, break down walls and build self esteem.  

While spending time in the round pen with their equine teacher Colleen helps translate the horses' teachings to the students and connects the messages to daily situations. Teaching the students how to incorporate what they are learning from the horse into areas the student can improve in their interactions with others. This allows the students to become more aware of their own emotions and body language and the effect it has on others.

After spending time with the horses and Colleen the students get a one on one sessions with Cris.  Cris helps students process and continue moving forward on their journey to wellness with techniques for anxiety and grief and years of experience in PTSD and brain trauma. 

This program is best suited for people who are currently in or have been in therapy and are ready to move forward in their life. We focus on solutions and ways to move past grief and trauma to regain joy in life. Mirrors is an excellent follow up to traditional therapy.
