HOLISTIC HEALING WITH HORSES
Spirit Reigns offers therapeutic services for both people and horses throughout the Northern Virginia area. Alyssa, owner of Spirit Reigns, uses Reiki Healing and Equine Assisted Mindfulness to heal the mind, body, and soul. Learning the skills of Mindfulness and Emotional Regulation promotes recovery from trauma, anxiety, and stress. This type of experiential learning is found outside of typical office therapy, and aides in building healthy relationships and other life skills.
HEALING
Reiki Healing & Equine Assisted Mindfulness
Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing technique that promotes relaxation by gentle touch. During a reiki session, Alyssa moves through each of the chakras, clearing any blockages and moving toxic energy out of the body. Relaxation has major health benefits for humans and animals alike. During deep rest, the autonomic nervous system switches from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system. This means our bodies go from a state of fight or flight, to a state of rest and digest. The body can then focus holistically on restoring and balancing essential areas where there may be dis-ease. Reiki Healing focuses on moving the body’s energy through the chakras to allow for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing wherever it's needed most.
Equine Assisted Mindfulness is the practice of mindful awareness through different activities that involve horses. Practicing good horsemanship is learning how to regulate your own emotions to provide a trusting and respectful relationship with the horse. Grooming, leading, lunging, and being present with the horse are all activities that can assist people in their personal growth. Many times this facilitates healthier relationships and valuable skills used in other aspects of life. If you're interested in personal sessions or group workshops, please email Alyssa at thespiritreigns@gmail.com.
If you'd like to be involved and have a facility that can be used for Equine Assisted Mindfulness sessions or workshops, please email Alyssa at thespiritreigns@gmail.com.

Equine Reiki Healing
Holistic Equine Wellness
Horses are particularly sensitive to energy. That's why reiki healing is so valuable to them. Just like us, the energy in a horse's body flows through them like an electric current. There are a number of imbalances that can interrupt this electric current. Changes in diet, pain, training issues, emotional or traumatic problems, can all lead to physical, psychological, or behavioral problems. Reiki healing is especially beneficial for horses that lack trust with humans.
Equine Assisted Mindfulness
Private sessions with horses to improve horsemanship, relationship, and emotional regulation skills
This natural approach for improving mental health can benefit anyone that might prefer an alternative to office therapy, or just wants to enjoy a closer relationship with horses. Equine Assisted Mindfulness will use several activities with the horses that can include grooming, walking next to the horse using a halter and lead, lunging the horse on a lunge line, observing the horse in social environments, and practicing mindfulness through grounding and body awareness exercises. There will be no riding in any part of these sessions. These “beyond office therapy” techniques provide experiences that traditional office therapy does not and are proven to improve mental health and self growth. Alyssa will meet with you and your horse once a week for 6 weeks. If you're interested in Equine Assisted Mindfulness and do not have a horse of your own to work with, please contact Alyssa. Depending on availability, there may be local facilities that will allow the use of their horses. Insurance is not accepted at this time, however payment plans are available.
