Equine Program

Kathi McConnell, RN has been with us since the founding of New Beginning Ranch. She's been training horses and riders for 28 years, since she was thirteen years old. We are blessed to have her skill, intuition, compassion and deep understanding of sex addict men.

She "gets" the intimacy disorder of sex addiction and uses their attachment/relational interaction style with the horses to uncover their intimacy challenges and begin the healing process.

Kathi is also a registered nurse RN and brings that observational set of skills to each client in every session. She has come to me after one or two sessions with a client and said "this client is experiencing certain developmental and or personality issues that we should look into".

It's extremely helpful in giving each client a better understanding of the issues he needs to address as part of his recovery.

Many people have asked "What happens in equine therapy? I've heard of it, but I don't get it".

We work hard at New Beginning Ranch to co-ordinate experiences, insights and challenges revealed in group therapy Equine Sessions, EMDR Sessions and Twelve Step Meetings so no one is left standing alone but integrated into a cohesive strategy of healing our clients.

We’d like to stay in touch.
