At Spirit Mountain Healing Services, a 501c3 non-profit organization, a firmly held belief is in the healing power of horses and the profound life transformations they bring clients.

In these challenging times, many are experiencing life-altering stress, anxiety, trauma, and disconnection from the true self. Spirit Mountain Healing engages clients through Equine Assisted Learning and Therapy (EALT) and makes a world of difference in renewing the lives of individuals and groups, from tweens to adults. Thousands of clients have reconnected with themselves, recovered their inner strength, and found lasting relief for moving ahead.

My EALT sessions provide a safe and supportive environment where you can:

• Reconnect with yourself: Develop your inner strength and learn new ways of reconciling with yourself and others.

• Heal from the past: Address past traumas, find new ways of managing emotional reactions, and find resolutions for restoring more peace and calm to your life.

• Build resilience: Develop coping mechanisms for overcoming life’s challenges and learn to bounce back from tough situations.

• Build self-confidence: Learn to reconnect with your authentic self and live a healthier and more fulfilled life.

Michelle Goss, your Chief Empowerment Officer, guides these sessions with her trusted herd of horses.

How Equine Assisted Learning Works:

EALT is a proven therapy method that uses horses to help you understand how life's challenges impact you and develop new tools to heal from past difficulties that cause your pain and suffering.

There's no riding involved! Sessions focus on building a connection with the horses, fostering communication, and empowering you to overcome obstacles in life all from the ground. Statistics show nearly half of adults experience trauma (NIMH), and many young people face similar challenges (PTSD National Center). You're not alone.

EALT sessions help you:

• Connect with horses: Build relationships with these gentle creatures. They mirror you and show you where the work needs to happen.

• Learn through horse-guided activities: Gain insight into your current behaviors and patterns as you activate new ways of responding to distressing situations.

• Develop new skills: Acquire emotional regulation and problem-solving tools that help transform how you handle your circumstances.

Benefits include reduced stress, improved emotional regulation, changes in how you see things in your life, and a boost in confidence and powerful self-discovery.

About The Herd:

Meet the amazing team! Spinner and Tenacity are our full-size therapy horses, while Bandit and Jada are miniature horses that work wonders for humans. Under Michelle’s guidance and the trusted presence of her horses, you’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing like no other coaching or therapy can offer.

Helping You Heal:

Many of Spirit Mountain’s clients have experienced significant trauma, and with MIchelle’s extensive experience and education, have provided help for more than 4,100 clients. Additionally, Spirit Mountain partners with local agencies and their clients by providing ongoing onsite support.

If you or someone you love is struggling, let's talk. Spirit Mountain’s horses and Michelle can help you find relief and rediscover your strength to live the life you want.
Since 2015, Spirit Mountain has empowered thousands on their healing journeys.

CLIENT REVIEWS/TESTIMONIALS

M Sandvig. 5/22/24

I’ve been working with Michelle at Spirit Mountain Healing Services for about 8 months now. I wanted to try something different beyond the traditional talk therapy that I’ve done many times before. From my first session I was amazed at how different this therapy was. Working with the horses and seeing how they mirror our emotions and energy was transformational. We focused on self, connecting to self, and really peeling back the layers that helped me understand why I do and react the way I do. Each session she met me where I was at and walked me through recognizing some of the trauma I’ve carried around with myself. She holds you accountable, helps you recognize the feelings that come up, and helps you move the energy and clear it with the help of the horses. Every time I walk away from a session, I’m able to put into practice the tools that I’ve learned. This is where the magic happens! Unlike traditional talk therapy where you just bring up issues, equine therapy helps you move through them and really shift. Your body learns and feels the difference while the horses help you regulate yourself even down to your heartbeat. I’ve been able to navigate some pretty heavy issues including grief, loss, people pleasing, relationship dynamics, critical talk and so much more. My confidence has grown tremendously, my self worth is now a reflection of myself and not others, and I can handle my emotions in a much more manageable way. I no longer live in the extremes and my relationships, friendships, and even my role as a mom have improved by healing a lot of what I had been carrying and stuffing down inside me for the last 30 plus years. Michelle & her horses have changed my life. My 10 year old son now attends his own sessions to work on confidence and friendship dynamics. Family members have also recognized the changes in me and are now working with Michelle to help themselves. I’m an entirely different version of myself than I was 8 months ago and I’m really thankful for Michelle and her horses (including the minis) at Spirit Mountain Healing Services. If you’re on the fence, attend one session and feel the power of equine therapy. I promise you, it’s worth it!

“Our teenaged son has attended only a few appointments so far with Michelle and her horses, and he’s already exhibiting incredible results.
Prior to finding Spirit Mountain, our son would get angry at the littlest things, he would lose his temper easily, and he most often wanted to isolate himself in his bedroom. He was diagnosed with OCD, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. His friendships outside of the home and relationships with family members were struggling, his grades were struggling. After the very first visit with Michelle, he talked the entire way home. he was so excited, he learned so much and he wanted to tell us all about it! He’s been more talkative and interactive with the people in his life. He’s smiling more and helping around the house again.
Every appointment with Michelle has been better than the last.
We have spent a fortune on every type of therapy and medication we could find with the hopes of helping our son through these difficult years. Michelle has been the absolute best therapist we have found. She is worth every single penny and
then some.”

"Our experience with Michelle started about a year ago when I requested her services for our daughter Anastasia. At that moment my daughter was 14 years old and under signs of depression and suicidal thoughts. Michelle and her amazing horses helped Anastasia tremendously! She did not feel like doing therapy, but every time she was coming out of a session, she looked very happy. Later on, same year, I started myself therapy and things only got better. Michelle is very knowledgeable, caring, straight to the point and very positive therapist. We already recommend her with our friends and family that were looking for a great therapy. A very powerful experience that we recommend to try at least once, you will be amazed on how much you enjoy it!!"
