Into the Elements
Horses & Healing
Welcome to Into the Elements!
This is a place for people to gather resources and build connection with nature, animals- especially horses- and a deeper level of self.
The benefits of these connections on our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness are limitless. There is no one size fits all approach to anything in life, and it's our mission to support people to discover the practices that are most aligned with their own path and their own goals through meaningful experiences.
​​
As we dive deeper 'Into The Elements' of healing, horsemanship, and life in general, we believe that intentional choices and exploration are the foundation that allows people to flourish. To that end, we have have trained and studied various modalities to improve our own lives, our horses lives, and the lives of our clients. The services we offer are based on the tools that have made the biggest impact in our own lives, and in an ideal world, the skills we believe everyone should have access to. These include:
​
Horse Training, Horseback Riding Lessons, Day Camps, Youth Groups, Workshops & Clinics
based on a holistic, horse focused perspective.
​
including those with trauma, anxiety, depression and more.
​
Life skills programs where the horses are the teachers, and participants experience a powerful journey of learning and self discovery. ​
​​
​
​Support for clients who want to take charge of their own health and/or the health of their horses to create balance and wellness.
​
Equine, Canine and Human Treatments in person & by distance.
​
Through building skills and self awareness, clients can find joy and wellbeing for themselves and their animal companions, while relaxing, de-stressing, and getting intentional about how they want to show up.
​
As we develop our property, we will continue to add offerings and experiences, working steadily on our evolving vision alongside our beautiful herd. All of our services are offered year round at our off grid acreage near Williams Lake, BC, as well as at other locations.

Our Philosophy...
We are of nature - of the earth and sky, the seas and stars. Yet we live in a world of duality, often forgetting how important it is for us to live from this foundational part of ourselves. Through time in nature with other sentient beings, we begin to ground and heal, and to find ourselves in an entirely new state of mind. We rediscover that we are fundamentally soulful by nature.
The benefits of being in nature, whether wild or manicured, are so powerful that many countries' medical systems not only acknowledge them, but are prescribing time outdoors as part of a treatment plan for anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and the many other conditions that so pervasively plague our society. The same goes for time with animal companions. In this age of technology, we are collectively recognizing the importance of the simple things that bring joy and happiness to life.
The current statistics say that the average North American, both children and adults, spends 93% of their days indoors, whether in a building or in a vehicle. We help people change that statistic in their own lives and get back outside, touching the earth, feeling the sun, the wind, the rain, and the snow. Throughout all of our offerings there are the common threads of embracing and reconnecting with the natural, energetic, elemental side of life, while improving personal health and wellness. ​
​
Whether it's through Horsemanship, Equine Assisted Learning, Wellness Support, Energy Medicine, or a combination of these services, we are here to support people in reaching their goals, while considering and incorporating their relationship to this beautiful earth, and all of the beings who reside here.

When we take the time to move through our lives with intention and mindfulness amazing things happen!
