welcome to the stable ARENA

Our innovative Equine Assisted EMDR therapy combines the proven effectiveness of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing with the healing presence of horses. This unique approach enhances traditional EMDR by incorporating the calming, grounding energy of equines throughout the therapeutic process. 

Clients process trauma while benefiting from the horse's intuitive responses and natural ability to regulate emotional states. The rhythmic movement and sensory experience of being with horses creates a powerful container for healing, helping to reprocess difficult memories and build new neural pathways in a supportive, nature-based setting.

Equine Assisted Learning creates an atmosphere that is fun, safe and inspires an openness to trying new things.  When working together as a team, everyone has an opportunity to participate at their comfort level and engage with colleagues in an action-oriented setting.  Learning is enhanced through this experiential approach.

70% of U.S. adults have experienced at least one traumatic event in their lives.

Adverse life experiences can fundamentally alter the brain's neural pathways, triggering negative thoughts, emotions, and reactions that often feel beyond our control.

While trauma can sometimes be clearly linked to specific incidents such as violent crime, childhood abuse, neglect, sexual assault, critical incident response, public safety work, or military combat, we understand that trauma isn't always defined by a single event. It can also result from bullying, abandonment, loss of loved ones, or even indirect exposure to disturbing content through media.

Regardless of your trauma's source or nature, healing is possible. 

Arena EMDR provides an effective path toward processing and resolving these experiences.
