Our Approach

The potential for healing and continued development happens through connection and embodied experience: with oneself, others, and the natural world. Because of this, all of our services operate within a neuroscience-informed framework, which sequentially promotes a felt sense of safety, connection, and regulation. Our experiential opportunities make space for participants to form connected relationships, honouring the wisdom of the body in safely guiding this process.

At Stable Roots, we have the unique ability to move beyond a psycho-educational model of support, to one that provides real-life opportunities to experience attuned connection by partnering with the natural world.

One person may be drawn to connecting with horses or other animals around the farm, while someone else finds healing in walking through the amazing pine forest trails surrounding the property. Connection may happen simply, through finding a spot to sit and chat in the garden, under a tree, or overlooking the wetlands. The experiential opportunities available at the farm are boundless and invite exploration.

Our in-town counselling program offers both in-person and virtual support. All of our counsellors, whether on the farm or in the office, are trained through a trauma-informed, somatic-oriented lens.
