I walk with people healing from abuse, trauma, and chronic stress, offering gentle, individualized Root Cause Therapy and equine-assisted sessions focused on safety and care. Rhodes to Wellness Coaching is a trauma-informed healing space for those who feel stuck in patterns they can’t think their way out of—anxiety that won’t quiet, emotional triggers that feel bigger than the moment, or a sense t
hat traditional talk therapy hasn’t gone deep enough. At the heart of my work is Root Cause Therapy (RCT), a gentle yet powerful approach that helps identify and release unresolved emotions stored in the subconscious mind and body. These trapped emotions often form during moments when we didn’t have the safety, support, or capacity to fully process what we were experiencing. Over time, they can influence our beliefs, reactions, relationships, and nervous system responses—often without our conscious awareness. Rather than focusing solely on coping strategies or symptom management, Root Cause Therapy works at the root of emotional pain. You remain present and in control as we follow the wisdom of your system, allowing healing to unfold in a way that feels safe and respectful. In addition to 1:1 Root Cause Therapy sessions, I offer Equimotional Equine Wellbeing Sessions, a unique, non-riding, ground-based experience that supports nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and embodied healing through connection with horses. These sessions are co-facilitated with Queenie and Flash, two intuitive and steady equine partners who offer powerful, non-verbal feedback through their presence. Horses are highly attuned to emotional states and nervous system shifts. Their ability to remain in the present moment allows clients to gently notice patterns of tension, protection, and connection—without pressure, analysis, or the need for words. Many people find that experiences with Queenie and Flash create profound moments of insight, regulation, and reconnection that are difficult to access through talk alone. My approach is Polyvagal-informed and embodied, honouring how trauma lives in the nervous system—not just the mind. Healing is not about fixing what is “wrong” with you; it is about helping your system feel safe enough to soften, integrate, and reconnect. This work is especially supportive for those who have experienced emotional abuse, relational trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, or who feel disconnected from their body or sense of self. Rhodes to Wellness Coaching is not a space where you are pushed to relive trauma or perform healing. It is a space where your pace is honored, your experiences are validated, and healing happens from the inside out. If you feel called to explore a gentler, deeper path toward healing—whether through Root Cause Therapy, Equimotional Equine Wellbeing Sessions, or a combination of both—I invite you to connect and begin your journey back home to yourself. With warmth,
