Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a session with you?
To book a session with the herd and I please fill the contact form and answer the 3 questions, pick a time availability and you will usually receive a response within 48hr - Please make sure to check your junk mail. An online booking link will be sent to you after you send in your request.
Can I book multiple sessions?
Yes! Many Clients benefits from multiple sessions or a long term healing journey. You can inquire about my 3 session package.
Where do the sessions take place?
All sessions are held on a 60 acres private working ranch in Squamish Valley, about 45 minutes north from Vancouver, BC. The address will be shared with you at the time of booking.
Are there accommodations near by?
Yes, we are located 20 mins from Squamish town centre, where several hotels and airbnbs are.
What should I bring to a session?
Come as you are.
There’s no need to prepare in a particular way.
Dress for the weather. Wear closed toed shoes.
It’s helpful to arrive hydrated and clear-headed (substance free) so your body can fully settle into the experience.
The setting is rusting- bringing your own water/ hydration is a good idea.
What if it rains or its snowing?
We operate rain or shine! The ranch has covered spaces, but please dress warmly in layers and wear sturdy, closed-toe waterproof boots so you remain comfortable outdoors.
How does a session with Eve and the horses work?
Sessions are held alongside my small herd of rescued horses who live together year-round and have been trained to facilitate.
The horses are not tools. They are sovereign sentient partners, and participation is always by choice. If a horse engages, it is because something in the moment feels safe and aligned. They are not tied up. If we choose to halter and connect with a lead rope its because the horse will have offered to do so during session. Nothing is forced.
All our work takes place safely on the ground alongside the herd. There is absolutely no riding, and no previous horse experience is required. We focus on slowing down, somatic grounding, and experiencing the intuitive, calming presence of the herd.
Sessions are non-clinical, and grounded in consent for both human and horse. This is not therapy or coaching.
Do I need experience with horses?
No experience is needed.
What if I feel nervous or unsure around horses?
That’s okay, you are still welcome here.
You don’t need prior experience with horses, and you don’t need to feel fully comfortable right away. Many clients arrive with some uncertainty. That is totally normal.
We move at a pace that feels safe for you. Sessions can be in protected contact. There is no expectation to touch or interact closely with a horse unless it feels right for you. Often, simply being near the herd in protected contact (on the other side of the fence) is enough.
Your nervous system leads the session.
If at any point something feels overwhelming, we slow down. The goal is not to push through fear — it’s to create safety. Thats why you are coming here. To be in nature. Letting go.
Maybe this is a good entry point for you to come learn about horses and their body language to understand them better. And understand your fear reaction in their presence.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on you.
Some feel meaningful clarity and calmness after a single session. Others find that a series of sessions allows for deeper settling and integration over time.
This work is not about quick breakthroughs. It’s about nervous system regulation, enjoying horses presence and grounding.
You’re welcome to begin with one session and notice how your body responds. From there, we can decide together what feels supportive to you.
There is no pressure to commit to anything more.
What happens after a session?
After a session, it’s helpful to allow space for integration.
You may feel more relaxed, more aware, or simply quieter internally. Sometimes clarity surfaces immediately. Other times, shifts are subtle and unfold over the next few days.
There’s no need to analyze or force meaning. Often, the most important changes happen gently as your nervous system continues to settle.
I recommend keeping the rest of your day open and simple when possible.
Spending time in nature, taking a warm bath, going for a slow walk, journaling, or simply resting can support integration.
Hydration and sleep are also helpful.
This work isn’t about dramatic breakthroughs. It’s about creating conditions for presence, steadiness and calm — and allowing that to ripple into daily life.
How long are the sessions and what is the investment?
Private individual experiences are priced at $175 + GST. Sessions are unhurried and run for up to 75 minutes to allow for deep processing and grounding.
Payment
Full payment is required to confirm your session booking.
Payment options include e-transfer, or credit card. It is possible to pay cash at the time of your session.
Is this covered by my mental health insurance benefits?
While our work is therapeutic and somatic, it is a specialized wellness experience (FEEL® - Facilitated Equine Experiential Learning) and is not billed as clinical counseling. Please check with your specific extended health provider to see if wellness coaching or alternative experiential modalities are covered.
Scope of Practice
This work is non-clinical and not a substitute for psychotherapy, medical treatment, or mental health services.
Do you offer sessions for children or teens?
In the past we have offered youth sessions. At this time Kind Spirit Horses specializes exclusively in private, one-on-one sessions and wellness circles for adults (ages 19+).
What is your cancellation policy?
Sessions may be rescheduled or canceled with at least 48 hours’ notice.
Cancellations made within 48 hours are non-refundable, as that time has been reserved specifically for you.
If an unexpected emergency arises, please reach out.
Session Timing & Weather
We operate on horse time. While sessions are scheduled for a set duration, they may occasionally run slightly longer. There is no additional charge for this — we simply allow the experience to unfold at a natural pace.
In the case of extreme or unsafe weather, we will reschedule.
