What if healing could begin with simply slowing down, breathing deeply, and spending time in nature? 🐴✨ In this episode, equine therapist Jacqui shares insights on the healing power of horses, nervous system regulation, anxiety, trauma recovery, and the deep wisdom animals can offer us. Jacqui created her own model of equine assisted psychotherapy called The Icarus Model. She's been working with horses since 1999 and counseling children and young adults in Arizona since 2011, with certifications spanning clinical hypnosis, somatic experiencing, yoga, and multiple equine-specific modalities. We talk about: • Equine-assisted therapy and emotional healing • Why anxiety isn’t something to “get rid of” • Nervous system regulation and safety • The importance of choice, boundaries, and self-awareness • How horses mirror what we’re feeling Follow her in the socials: https://www.instagram.com/icarusmodel1/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ9HmKxPNFYB0Q4SOLUSl5w https://www.facebook.com/skyetherapy1 Listen now on the Holistic Inner Balance Podcast 🎙️ Additional Resources: 🤔 QUIZ: What Type of Anxiety Do You Deal With? 👉 Discover your Ayurveda mind-body constitution so you can work to balance it and optimize your health with this dosha quiz 💡Join Dr. Nicole's membership: The Holistic Wellness Collective 👉Learn more about Hadlee’s Happy Healthy Habits Coaching Program, a step-by-step program you've been searching for to actually follow through on your health and wellness goals 👉 Order Supplements Here 📖 Buy the book: PANIC PROOF: The New Holistic Solution to End Your Anxiety Forever 💻 Check out the available online courses: Ayurveda: The Key to Your Success Mapping Out Your Benzo Taper 💕 Stay connected with us: Dr. Nicole on Instagram Happy Healthy Hadlee on Instagram Dr. Nicole Cain, ND MA is a pioneer in integrative approaches for mental and emotional wellness.
