Some kinds of healing need more space than an office can hold.
Johanna spent years practicing in conventional clinical settings — and year after year, she watched clients soften more quickly when a dog was in the room, regulate more easily when a horse was nearby, speak more honestly when they could see the sky. Eventually, the question stopped being whether the setting mattered and became how to build one on purpose.
The Centre is the answer to that question. A practice where trauma-informed counselling, somatic work, and equine partnership sit alongside each other — not as alternatives, but as parts of the same approach. Where the horses aren't a gimmick. Where the land isn't decoration. Where what you need is met with what the setting can offer, and it's that fit that does the work.
Equine-assisted therapy is Johanna's primary clinical practice. She also hosts a small team of associate practitioners whose work sits alongside her own, and offers clinical supervision and mentorship to therapists committed to trauma-informed, somatically oriented care.
