Leadership Coaching and Corporate Team Building
Healing Strides offers Leadership Coaching and Corporate Team Building opportunities. Knowing the power of the horse and the parallels that run strong between the social aspects of a herd and the social aspects of a team, we work with you to establish the goals of your organization to create a one of a kind experience. The value of equine assisted learning/coaching has been proven to help individuals retain more information and put it into real life situations. Reach out to Healing Strides for more information.

Healing Strides offers internships from High School to PhD levels. We work with numerous colleges and universities to allow the opportunity to learn first-hand about the Equine Assisted Activities and Therapies Industry, as well as the business side of how a non-profit is organized and managed.
We can tailor any internship to what is needed or required for the student, allowing them to have a personalized experience while they are here! Please be sure to reach out to us, so we can better understand what your needs are and how we can help you reach your internship goals!
