Reccia Jobe, Rebecca Hubbard, and Jenn Weiss, owners and founders of Pecan Creek Ranch will chat with us about their recent move to telehealth. They will share with us the specific criteria they are using to determine with whom they do in person sessions and with whom they are transitioning to telehealth. They will then share the amazing and VERY CREATIVE ways they are incorporating the horses and the experiential piece of this work into telehealth. Lastly, they will share some of the benefits and disadvantages they have experienced thus far. Reccia, Rebecca, and Jenn have over 30 years of collective experience in the field of trauma focused equine assisted psychotherapy that they bring to this recent, and very quick transition to telehealth.

Telehealth with Children and Families (when they have been doing EAP)
Friday, Mar 27th, 2020 | 9:00PM to 10:00PM Central Time
This webinar is part of a new series: Survive + Thrive = SurThrive! An NL Webinar Series for Navigating the Pandemic.
Recently, on an NL trainer call, Michael Remole (one of our trainers) shared how he is transitioning all of his EAP clients to telehealth. Michael is the ED of Gateway Family Services in Potomac, Illinois where he and his wife, Gabby Remole (also one of our trainers), serve primarily children and families. We were so impressed by what they are doing at Gateway Family Services that we asked Michael if he would be willing to share with our students. During our time together, Michael will share some of the creative ways, thus far, that Gateway Family services has:
- Transitioned children and families to telehealth
- Incorporated transitional objects to build connection and bring experiential modalities into sessions
- Create a personal space for well-being (bringing the outside in!)
- Create a shared sensory space between client and clinician
- Adjust the office space to allow for movement and sensory interventions
- Incorporated the horses
- Trained his staff to transition to telehealth
- Incorporated bottom-up regulation into telehealth sessions
- A bit about the technology involved
Michael will also share worksheets he has made and resources he is sharing with his clients. These resources will be made available to participants. Michael asked that I make it clear that he is not a telehealth expert – he and Gateway Family Services are muddling their way through this with the rest of us, but we were so impressed by his sound thought process and the actions they are taking for their clients, that we wanted to learn more. This is the time to bring all of our brilliance together and make it happen! Thank you Michael for agreeing to spend this time with us!
Webinar
Trauma Informed Lives and Trauma Informed Relationships are for Every One!
Wednesday, Sep 11th, 2019 | 8:00PM to 9:00PM Central Time
The truth is that most of us have experienced some level of trauma. We all have experienced things that negatively affect our brain’s ability to function at optimal capacity. This makes it challenging to find a calm connection to self and others.
Trauma informed care (TIC) is about becoming empowered to organize or reorganize the brain by understanding how the brain and body develop. One of the basic tenets of TIC is that we can help the brain develop and heal through “bottom-up regulation.”
During this webinar, NL co-founder, Bettina Shultz-Jobe, will discuss the basic tenets of TIC and bottom-up regulation based on Dr. Bruce Perry’s Neurosequential Model. This will allow you to grasp and apply complex concepts to your life and your relationships – to heal instead of hurt. If a calm, regulated, connection is a priority for you, you won’t want to miss this webinar!
PLEASE NOTE: THE WEBINAR IS FROM 3PM – 4PM CST REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS DISPLAYED ABOVE.
Webinar
Animal Welfare Issues are Also Clinical Issues
Thursday, May 23rd, 2019 | 9:00PM to 10:00PM Central Time
In Natural Lifemanship we believe that true healing cannot happen at the expense of another. Animal welfare is certainly a hot topic in this field, and rightly so! NL founders, Tim Jobe and Bettina Shultz-Jobe will discuss how to recognize animal welfare issues, including those that lead to behavior issues and burnout. They will share how a lack of awareness in this area can impact our clients. Case examples will be shared, including mistakes made. When animal welfare is integral to the therapy process, deep healing happens as the client’s core issues are addressed. It’s powerful stuff for horse and human!
Webinar
Support or Rescue?
Wednesday, Apr 17th, 2019 | 7:00PM to 8:00PM Central Time
Natural Lifemanship co-founder, Bettina Shultz-Jobe, will discuss the difference between offering support and rescuing in the context of the therapeutic relationship. She will discuss why this matters from a neurobiological and attachment perspective. Given that EAP has many of its foundations in experiential education and learning, some fundamental differences between experiential education and trauma informed care will be discussed. Specific case examples will be shared. The following will be discussed as they apply to client goals and the therapeutic process: problem-solving, independence, self-regulation, co-regulation, being able to ask for help, interdependence, team-building, communication, thinking “outside of the box,” relationship, and intimacy.
Webinar
When Two Cultures Collide: Exploring Concepts, Principles, and Definitions within the Horse and Therapy World
Friday, Mar 08th, 2019 | 9:30PM to 10:30PM Central Time
Join Natural Lifemanship co-founders, Tim Jobe and Bettina Shultz-Jobe, for a conversation about some of the belief systems and principles that have historically prevailed in the horse world. Concepts like leadership, respect, connection, control, safety, and partnership will be explored. Tim and Bettina will deconstruct these principles in a discussion about how two very different (and often opposing) cultures can come together to bring about health and healing for human and horse alike. They will also discuss conditions in which bringing horses and humans together to do therapy is inappropriate and possibly harmful for both. Learn how Natural Lifemanship helps equine assisted practitioners partner people with horses in ways that promote changes at the neurobiological level. With Natural Lifemanship, connection is always the goal of any activity. The process of cultivating connection is highly nuanced ensuring that the relationship is built in ways that promote health and well-being for both parties.
