At Highlands Horse and Healing, we offer a range of transformative services that cater to the mind, body, and spirit.
Our integrated approach combines equine-assisted learning, equine-assisted psychotherapy, cutting-edge scientific knowledge, and spiritual insights to facilitate profound healing and personal growth.
There are a number of opportunities to personal growth that does not require working with a horse.

Spirit
Spirit is the foundation that supports the mind and body. When our spirit is strong, it gives us the resilience to face life's challenges and the motivation to take care of our physical and mental health.
By nurturing our spirit through biblical principals and practices of meditation, prayer, and gratitude, we can create a strong foundation for a healthy and fulfilling life.

Our Approach
Our herd is special, each with a story of their own, similar to each individual who visits Highlands Horse and Healing, which is why we embrace a unique approach where horse and human connect on the ground, fostering mutual respect and personal growth. Our interactions are based on partnership and dignity, without riding involved.
Our horses reside at idyll heart farm and thrive with natural horsemanship techniques and principles.

Chief Facilitator
My name is Cindy
I am an accomplished Registered Nurse with 30 years of experience in healthcare, complemented by 20 years in finance. My specialization is in Palliative, Hospice, and Critical Care, I have investigated the impacts of trauma—physical, mental, and sexual—and sought evidence based alternative methods to empower individuals to achieve their fullest potential. I strongly believe in the potential for a meaningful life for both people and animals. My passion drives me to volunteer, foster, rescue, and adopt abused animals, including dogs, cats, and horses. This steadfast commitment to trauma informed care for both humans and animals has resulted in multiple certificates of training.
