Innovative Equine-Assisted Therapy for First Responders, Military Personnel, Veterans, and Their Families.
Our long-term goal is to build awareness of both the immediate and enduring effectiveness of the EAGALA equine-assisted therapy to Military Personnel and First Responders and to make this program accessible to these populations.
Your Physical and Mental Health Matter
Cumulative trauma, or the repeated exposure to traumatic events over time, is a significant concern for First Responders, Military Personnel, and Veterans; impacting their mental and physical health. These exposures can lead to conditions like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and burnout. This community of people are particularly vulnerable due to the frequency and intensity of traumatic events they encounter while fulfilling their duties.
Each person in those fields deserve structured, evidence-based treatment that aligns with their distinctive challenges and professional mindset. Gaits to Healing provides an innovative, first responder-focused wellness program that prioritizes equine-assisted therapy (EAGALA model) as the primary intervention.
By integrating experiential therapy, peer support, and mindfulness training, our program eliminates traditional barriers to seeking help while reinforcing resilience, recovery, and long-term well-being.
Additionally, by extending support to families and those in career transitions or retirement, we ensure that first responders receive comprehensive, life-long mental health care in a safe, trusted, and culturally competent space.
