Concentrated EMDR at the farm, with the horses — for people carrying something that hasn't settled.
Free 15-minute consultation
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is an evidence-based method designed to reprocess distressing memories, performance blocks, and stress responses using bilateral stimulation (alternating eye movements, taps, or tones). This method helps the brain and nervous system process information and complete its natural resolution response. EMDR with horses introduces a direct physical dimension. Horses respond continuously to nervous system state and biofeedback. Working alongside horses grounds attention in the body, providing real-time awareness and space for profound neurological processing.
An intensive is concentrated over several days instead of an hour a week and aim the processing work at specific targets that we define together. The shape can be a long weekend, several weekends, or something built around what your life can actually hold. An intensive can be done in conjunction with your current therapy. I'm glad to coordinate with you and your therapist as needed.
EMDR intensives work best when targeting something specific rather than at a general wish to feel better.
High-achieving and neurodivergent minds excel at analyzing patterns. The intensive format moves past pure intellectualization to directly process somatic tension, sensory overload, and stored nervous system stress.
The work has been effective, and then it stopped moving. Insight arrives; the body doesn't follow. Consecutive days can reach what weekly pacing can't.
Because you travel for work, or work shifts. Because you're a nurse, a pilot, a consultant, a rancher in season. Because you're home only over winter break, or you live two hours from Longmont. Or you have a chronic illness that makes it difficult to hold regular weekly sessions.
Each intensive is built around your goals. We set the structure together after a full assessment of where things stand, what you want to work on, and which constraints are real.
This consultation call is an informal conversation where we can check if we are a good fit, if the EMDR intensive is the right way to work for you
You will receive and complete a detailed intake questionnaire about your background, current challenges, and the memories or themes we'd be targeting to work on.
We will meet for a 50-minute intake session to review your questionnaire and create a detailed EMDR intensive schedule, write down your goals and outcome measures to ensure we can accurately track your progress.
You will receive a detailed schedule, with reminders. We will meet at the farm, with the horses and goats and follow the agenda we will have put together. This includes activities with the horses, discussions on how to bring what you learned into your daily life. At the end of each day, we will debrief the day together and prepare for the next day.
A follow-up to consolidate what moved, re-check the outcome measures, and decide together what continues.
