Client Dawn explains: "My brief experience with Link and Rollie has profoundly changed me. I understand boundaries so much better and my close relationships have improved immensely. From the lessons learned with Karin and the horses, I have an ever increasing energy and much clearer thinking. The quagmire of PTSD and depression is disappearing."
Benefits of Equine Facilitated Therapy
Did you know that you can learn about life concepts from horses and gain better awareness?
In this program, the horses will be your teachers.
The benefits of Equine Assisted Counseling Sessions are tremendous!
- Counseling with horses is more effective than talk therapy
- Hands on and kinesthetic learning through active sessions
- Learning occurs faster and change can be practiced and felt immediately
- Horses give immediate, honest feedback by mirroring us
- You may be able to fool yourself or others, but you can't fool a horse
- Healing occurs through unconditional love by horses
- Equine Facilitated sessions succeed where traditional therapy did not succeed
Client Amy states: "Working with Karin and her horses has changed my life. The life goals I originally wanted when I first contacted Karin are being accomplished and for the first time in over 15 years I am truly happy as an authentic sober person. Karin has helped me along the way hearing my issues, validating my progress and guiding me through the work required to overcome these hurdles.”

Client Yvonne says: "Karin’s patience and intuitiveness to assess your needs and provide you with the things you need to think about and apply was amazing. (The horses) Link and Rollie taught you about acknowledgement, affection, teamwork, boundaries, leadership and relaxation just to name a few. I have so many new tools to think about and try in my life."
What to Expect?
You might wonder if you need any experience with horses in these Equine Assisted Counseling sessions. Horse experience is not necessary. All it takes is an open mind, and a little willingness to challenge your "perceptions". Like a horse ready for new learning, we will start at the beginning of where you are and progress to a place that feels right for you. Here at Horse Journey, we welcome you with no judgment over your past or present. All sessions are conducted in a private setting and are treated with strict confidentiality.
Where is Horse Journey Located?
Our Horse Journey facility is located in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. We provide a place for healing, learning, creating, and relaxing in Kelowna. It is also a wonderful get-away from the hectic city pace. Horse Journey is a short, scenic drive to South East Kelowna, only a 10 minute drive from Orchard Park Mall, Mission Park, or Rutland.

Client Josie attests: "My intent was to resolve a latent trauma due to an injury on a horse, but my experience throughout the session helped to reveal significant habits, behaviors, perceptions and beliefs that define how I function in my world right now. Karin provides a unique skill to reveal our inner truth by providing horses as unconditional mediums. Through my interaction with Rollie and Karin, the end result, bursting with insights into my life, my truth, and my personal state of affairs, proved to be far beyond my original intent. Karin Bauer is a gifted Equine Facilitated Therapist and I would highly recommend her methodology if you are seeking a subtle way of revealing how you view the world.”
