About
Lingering shadows from the past can cast a reactionary state within, but with Equine Inspired Soul, this energy is harnessed and transformed. Clients discover newfound freedom, embracing their inherent truths and wisdom.
EMBARK ON YOUR JOURNEY WITH EQUINE INSPIRED SOUL
Our work integrates the wisdom of the horse with evidence-informed and experiential healing practices that meet clients where they are — in the present moment. Through both equine-guided and non-equine sessions, we offer year-round opportunities for growth and transformation.
Our sessions weave together:
-
Gestalt Equine Therapy – exploring emotions and patterns through the relational mirror of the horse
-
Mind/Body Energy Work – harmonizing emotional and energetic imbalances
-
Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) – transforming thought patterns and beliefs that shape behavior
-
Somatic and Body Awareness – reconnecting clients to their physical and emotional signals
-
Breathwork and Guided Imagery – cultivating calm, focus, and inner guidance
Together, these modalities help clients access their inner wisdom, release stored tension and trauma, and reconnect with their authentic emotional truth.
OUR MISSION
At Equine Inspired Soul, we believe that healing begins with connection — to self, to others, and to the natural world. Nestled in rural Minnesota, our mission is to nurture mental health, emotional well-being, and youth empowerment by guiding individuals into deeper self-awareness through experiential, body-centered, and horse-assisted healing modalities.

The certified by Melisa Pearce Equine Gestalt Coaching Method™️
The Equine Gestalt Coaching Method™️ was developed by Melisa Pearce, a core founder since 1989 of the horse-human healing movement. The experiential nature of the method involves the horse as an active partner with the coach in the client’s exploratory process. The integrative approach of the equine’s interaction combined with positive coaching, somatic awareness guidance and Gestalt methodology, assists the client in examining their life and choices made with a focus on designing a positive future. ©Melisa Pearce
