Client Testimonials

"I saw Arise on the news and called. I had to do something, the pain was too much.  Being with the horses was a relief . The things I learned are hard to explain, but after all the work with the therapy team I feel I can go on and be OK, be part of life again."

"I came to Arise Equine Therapy with full fledged PTSD that [destroyed] me following the tragic death of [my son] from [overdose]. I ended up spending over a year with Fran and Ian at the helm of my recovery. My tears of reflection remind me of how groundbreaking and revolutionary the whole life that the therapy took on. Therapy becomes a living story that continues beyond a session and lives in the heart and mind forever. The equine aspect of my therapy was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve ever lived during arguably the most devastating difficult days to live through. It is often that I think fondly of Arise and the greatest gift of healing that Fran and Ian gave me. I am forever grateful for my entire experience with Arise! Peace and love to all the animals at the farm❤️"

"It was a learning experience for sure and helps to see how we all handle situations.  [Our son] did great and helped us see how he is able to complete a task that was new to him."

"It helped us see how we related to each other. We learned how to step back and let [our daughter] solve problems on her own. They gave us scenarios that we had to work through…we would like to work on more things so we can be a healthier family."
