Under the guidance of Duey Freeman (MA, LPC), GEIR offers training for professionals and students in psychotherapy, counseling, coaching and equine fields. Happy Dog Ranch and its herd provide GEIR with the space to teach Gestalt Equine Psychotherapy™, where therapists learn to offer clients new opportunities and choices for relationships and emotional growth.

Horses are excellent teachers of self-awareness, contact and relationship. Interacting with them can help illuminate a person’s patterns of contact and foster new insights and growth.

Sharon offers individual sessions, workshops and retreats designed to create a new relationship paradigm between horses, humans and nature. As an advanced instructor in the Eponaquest Approach™ to equine-facilitated learning, she has synthesized other psycho-spiritual healing modalities into an advanced, holistic approach for healing.

Sharon has taught in Germany, France and Australia, as well as the United States. Her work helps participants move from surviving to thriving by looking at the unconscious patterns that rule their behavior and developing new ways of being. Horses become equal, creative partners in this work as they share their gentleness, love, presence and deep wisdom.

Terri is passionate about teaching people how to listen to the animals. This welcomes in animal wisdom and deepens the bond with people and their beloved animal companions. She has provided sessions to over 5,000 households and well over 10,000 animals.

Terri’s many years of experience as an animal communicator not only help solve situations but also deepens relationships. Her sessions provide insights on animals’ thoughts and feelings. Information is gained to help understand behaviors, needs, and preferences of beloved animal companions. Conversations also provide an opportunity for animals to express how they want to help the people they love. They are proud to help their humans through the tough times as well as the wonderful times.

Erin Henry and her practice, Rewild Therapy & Wellness, work in partnership with the horses and our shared natural ecosystem. Erin is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and therapist who has been in practice since 2010. She trained and apprenticed with Duey Freeman and Kimberly Rose of the Gestalt Equine Institute of the Rockies.

In addition, Erin has unique expertise in experiential, equine-supported, neuroscience-based interventions to restore vitality and wholeness after trauma. These modalities include EquiLateral: The Equine-Assisted EMDR Protocol™ and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR). Erin also provides supervision groups for developing therapists.

Kerri offers clarity and guidance to navigate life with an open heart. She is the author of two books: Listen Like A Horse: Relationships Without Dominance, and Spiritually Gifted. She teaches internationally and has developed several unique and profoundly simple approaches to help others create a sweet friendship between the mind, the body and the heart.

Kerri works with all whose hearts are thirsty to remember the presence of love. She serves all species in their relationships with humanity, honoring the generosity of non-human life and their capacity to facilitate the awareness of love through our species.

Being with horses on the open land invigorates the mind, body, heart, soul and spirit. Caroline partners with horses and the natural world to help people restore wellbeing, build relational skills and regulate their nervous system. Through resourcing and Gestalt relational work, she helps restore vital connections with self, others and all of life.

Caroline is the founder of Heartsong Healing and is a social worker therapist in training at the University of Denver. She is certified in Gestalt Equine Studies with over 400 hours of training and experience through her internship at Rewild Therapy & Wellness.
