Unbridled Equine Therapy Program (in-person)
$750
What if healing didn't happen inside four walls?
Unbridled is a faith-based equine healing experience at Full Circle Ranch where horses, biblical truth, and nervous system restoration come together to help women move beyond anxiety, trauma, and survival mode.
This is a safe space where healing unfolds, souls are restored, and women rise.
I know what you're thinking... So... what is it about horses that can help with my healing?
Horses are nonjudgmental, so they invite us to let our guards down and expose the dark places within us. We learn to reveal the parts of ourselves that need light, compassion, attention, and tender care so healing can take place. Since horses are masters of being fully present, we can learn what that means and how it feels in our minds and bodies. It is so freeing to be in their presence and allow them to guide us through our journey of healing in ways that traditional therapy cannot achieve.
They become an anchor for us, a mirror to our souls. We can learn to match their breath, to use physical touch to ground ourselves in the here and now, as well as increasing our awareness of self. Our horses are an integral part of this program, and as a result, clients will begin designing and living a life that is unbridled.

Melanie’s equine therapy program was an incredible tool to approach my healing journey in a holistic way that included spiritual, emotional, and practical support as I was working through extreme trauma. She created an atmosphere where I could feel comfortable sharing anything, and she was supremely compassionate and supportive while also pushing me to increase my confidence and take more ownership of my life. Melanie’s horses are perfectly suited to the therapy, and connecting with them through the therapy did wonders for my nervous system and helped me rebuild my confidence in my own capabilities. I highly recommend this program!

1. My favorite part was being welcomed into a space of acceptance, no judgment, healing, and the environment was perfect. 2. My biggest lesson I learned is to take control of any situation and speak up. It’s ok to use my voice and be confident in expressing my needs. 3. My first session changed my way of thinking. I was not giving permission to Socks for him to stop and eat the grass, but I didn’t communicate my needs to him either. This is exactly what I’m noticing in my life as well. I need to apply what I’ve learned in my daily life. 4. I would recommend this to others because it’s different! It’s not common to have the opportunity to be able to deepen our healing in an outdoor environment with horses! Also, I would recommend any therapy with the best, Melanie!

1. I learned to let go of everything I was dealing with and be where my feet were with those amazing, beautiful creatures. 2. That the terrible lies I say over myself are much more dangerous than I ever thought. Trying to speak those lies over another living being showed me how hurtful those words are. 3. I am MUCH more aware of the death and lies that I speak over myself. That WILL stop. 4. Disconnection from the outside world and connection with such pure and loving creatures is what we ALLLLLLLL need!!!!!!

Melanie's program has helped create the smiles I now see in my daughter. Using her own experiences to connect to her client's spirit and promote healing has been life-altering. Her counselor has noticed changes and said to continue what we're doing because it's working. Working with Melanie through the equine therapy program has made a noticeable difference that others see as well. Things are looking up, life is good, and with the love of everyone around her... She Will Rise!
