My wife and I started dating in the fall of 2010. We had known of each other through family connections for about 5 years, and we had the blessing of many people. It comes as no surprise then that within a few weeks of dating we knew we were going to get married.
In the fall of 2011, we decided that we both wanted to go to school, and chose schools that were 14 driving hours apart. That is a longer story, but needless to say some people thought we wouldn’t last. We did.
In June of 2015, we were married in a horse pasture with over 300 family and friends in attendance. You could say it was a bit of a party.
Why do I give you all that backstory? Because one thing has been our chief aim since we started dating, and that is to create a world class health center.
My wife recently graduated with her Master of Arts in Mental Health. Her undergrad was heavily versed in Equine Therapy where she learned how to use horses as a supplemental therapy. Essentially, people who have experienced severe trauma may not allow a therapist to work with them, but they will interact with a horse - therein lies a means of healing.
It warms my heart every time I hear my wife recall the time she spends with some of her clients. The stories she tells of their backgrounds are not the prettiest, but in the end, that makes the healing all the sweeter.
In the past 3 years, we have experienced our own mending as we applied some of the principles in our lives.
We came to find that there were generational strongholds to heal from, and only through the mighty hand of God could we find the roots.
Avenues such as, play therapy, sensing prayer, Solfeggio frequencies, nutrition, meditation, and wise counsel have been invaluable to us.
You could say I have been my wife’s first client, and you would not be far off. But as we found through our many conversations, the last 15 years have been a chiastic story of redemption for both of us.
We are not completely done with the academic side of things. There are hours of direct client therapy yet to complete before a state license. After that, we are likely looking at a Doctorate. To our knowledge, that is the last hurdle before we are able to practice at our own facility. It has been an adventure, and we would not trade it for anything.
