Balancing the dreams of the mind with the realities of the body.
​Elevating the human experience and balancing chronic illness and life since 2024.
​
We serve in kindness and patience, helping humans and horses reconnect the lines of communication between the body and the brain when facing a world that tells them their faults only exist in one or the other.

Through Equine Gestalt Coaching™, a method developed by Melisa Pearce, one of the core founders of the horse-human healing movement, which began in 1989. The experiential nature of this method allows the horse to act as an active partner with the coach in the client's exploratory process. The integrative approach of equine interaction combined with positive coaching, somatic awareness guidance, and Gestalt methodology assists the client in examining his or her life and choices made with a focus on designing a positive future.

Our Origin Story
After years of fighting for her life in hospital beds and being the only one waving a white flag in a house where narcissism butted heads with martyrdom. Ripley found her escape at the barn. It was a place where the pain, anxiety, and violence, both internal and external, disappeared; healing in every possible way. Horses created the balance she so desperately craved, and they gave her a voice and reunited her with the body she had grown to hate, and so Balanced Horses Healing Humans was born.
​
We strive to bring balance and autonomy to those who have lost faith in their own bodies. We help young women learn how to advocate for themselves within the American Healthcare system and break the chain of "it's just anxiety" diagnoses.
When you reopen that door of trust, you'll learn that your body speaks truth if you slow down enough to listen and not judge. When that happens, you'll begin to find little pebbles of hope along your journey to wholeness.
​
Let us give you the first one.
