OUR PROCESS

Understand Neurobiology of Trauma & Relationships

Understand how the brain develops optimally in response to healthy, connected relationships. Understand how trauma and toxic stress negatively impact relationships with ourself and others.

Identify Relationship Patterns

We can't change what we don't notice. Learn how partnering people with horses helps both heal and grow. Learn to apply new principles when helping others - even without the help of horses.

Practice & Form New Behaviors

Help your clients form healthier patterns by practicing new behaviors in their relationships. Experience their sense of deeper connection with their self and with others as these new ways of being and interacting are reinforced.

Form Lasting Relationships as a Vehicle for Change

Whether you help people form healthier connections through psychotherapy or through coaching for personal or professional growth, the Natural Lifemanship process helps people make positive, lasting changes in their relationships with themselves and others.
