Equìa
Where bodies remember, and horses guide.
A body-centered path to healing through Equine-Assisted Somatic Experiencing®.
Rate Tiers & Payment Links
*The following rates are for local clients who live in Flathead Valley.
Every Equìa session is a journey into resonance with the herd. These 75-minute sessions offer space for presence, reflection, and embodied remembering.
Somatic trauma recovery can profoundly change your relationship with yourself, your body, and your life, yet unfortunately, these services are rarely covered by insurance.
I believe this healing should be more accessible to people who are deeply committed to their growth and well-being. As such, I offer Equìa sessions for those local to Flathead Valley using a tiered pricing structure designed to support varying levels of financial capacity.
These tiers are self-selected and meant to reflect your current financial reality and access to resources. I do not require proof of income or financial documentation; instead, I trust each person to approach this process with honesty, integrity, and care.
Because reduced-rate sessions directly impact the sustainability of my practice, I’m only able to offer a limited number of lower-tier spots at a time. If your financial circumstances significantly change, your selected tier can be adjusted accordingly.
RATE TIER 1 = $250/session
You qualify for Tier 1 if most of these examples describe you:
- You own your own home, vehicles, and possibly other large assets.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Where are the sessions held?
The sessions are held in person at a private ranch in Whitefish, Montana.
-
What if I feel nervous around horses?
It’s natural to feel nervous—especially if you’ve never been around horses before. Their size and presence alone can evoke strong emotions. In Equìa, your comfort comes first. We’ll move at a pace that feels safe for you, beginning with simple presence and establishing safety in the pasture before going deeper.
-
What happens during a session?
Each session begins with a brief review of horse safety, followed by gentle check-ins and reflection questions to guide you inward. From there, you’ll spend time in the presence of the horses—sometimes in close proximity, sometimes simply sharing space at a distance. Physical touch with the horses is not required. Sessions conclude with an integration time, during which we reflect on your experience.
-
Do I ride the horses?
No. My philosophy of horse guardianship does not involve riding. Instead, our focus is on building a relationship with the horses—allowing their presence, boundaries, and truth to guide us. In doing so, we strengthen our relationship with ourselves.
-
What should I bring?
Please dress in layered clothing suitable for the weather, and wear closed-toe shoes for safety. Sunscreen, bug spray, and hats may also be helpful, depending on the season.
Where does this take place?
Equìa sessions take place at a beautiful ranch just outside of Austin, TX.
-
I don’t have any horse experience. Can I still do this?
You don’t need any prior horse experience—your time with the herd is about presence, not performance.
-
What do I bring?
As sessions are held outdoors, please wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes suitable for being on the land.
