COME WITH A GOAL.  COME WITH CURIOSITY.  COME TO FIND CONNECTION.
We believe in healing the human’s mind, body and soul through connecting with nature and horses.

Located in the Mooresville - Lake Norman area, Healing with Horses provides mindfulness-based counseling, leadership development and wellness services, with horses, centered on healing the wounds of trauma. Clients rediscover their own personal power, authenticity, and confidence.  

 

Willow Equine provides counseling, shamanic healing sessions, team building and wellness services for older teenagers and adults with an array of challenges and goals.

 

 Soul to Sole Connection, a 501c3 organization, provides counseling and healing services to America’s military, veterans, first responders and their families at NO cost. 

All services are ground-based; there is no riding or horsemanship. We collaborate with freely moving horses to deepen the experiences, personalize insights, and outcomes. The horses' innate intuition and communication abilities teach clients valuable lessons. The horses meet us in the moment, as we are, creating heartfelt awareness. They respond to subtle shifts in energy and thoughts, which allows stories to unfold.

​​

This gives clients the chance to "get out of their heads" and rewrite their narrative!

WHY WORK WITH HORSES?

At Soul to Sole Connection and Willow Equine, our services are based on The Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (Eagala) and on Arenas for Change (Arch). These experiential frameworks allow our clients the latitude to discover, learn, and grow from the horse/human relationship. Our professional facilitators are Eagala Certified with their Military Designation and ARCH designated in mental health, coaching and the military.


Mental Health with Horses (aka Equine Assisted Psychotherapy or EAP) is a best practice model of therapy. It is a collaborative relationship between clients, horses, a mental health professional, and an equine specialist. Horses are highly attuned animals. The horses’ unique sensitivity aids clients to understand their own internal processes and create new perspectives. 

A CURIOUS CONVERSATION

Hold a Curious Conversation with Katie Stankiewicz, founder of  Healing with Horses, Soul to Sole, and Willow-Equine.

Our world is constantly changing. In our hearts, we know exactly when something seems "off" and when it feels "right." Sometimes we need to hold a Curious Conversation to find out what opportunities are around us. During this conversation, we will discuss your intentions, what goals you are seeking, and whether or not working with me seems "right!"
