What Guests Say

“I used to travel about 300 days a year and have stayed all over the states in hotels and Airbnbs. This place ranks top 5 on my list.”

— Travis

“We ended up attending one of her sessions thinking it was just going to be one of those types of things where you learn about the horses and get to pet and maybe feed them. I was way off. We left that session with a greater understanding of ourselves and a deeper peace than we thought possible.”

— Nathan
