Equestrian Healing program for young women

Our mission is to provide a healing environment for teenage girls who have been victims of sexual exploitation, trafficking, and abuse. Safety is the first priority. We will provide these young women with a safe home where they are given the love and patience they need to begin to heal themselves from within. Our program gives them the key to self healing.

We are honored to have Cathy O’Brien as our education director and healing mentor. Cathy is a world-renowned educator, author and survivor of Pentagon/White House level MK Ultra control. Cathy brings the tools and methods developed by Mark Phillips recognized as one of the world’s greatest mind scientists for the healing of PTSD.

Sunrise Ranch’s “Equestrian Healing program” benefits:

Time in nature and the importance of writing out your traumas are central in our healing programs. Equine therapy is also an essential element to our healing proposal. The healing benefits of equine therapy are recognize as a highly effective modality for healing victims of sexual abuse and trauma. The horse’s ability to help victims of PTSD is due to their ability to communicate mimicking immediate reactionary emotional response. Equine therapy produces miraculous results for traumatized victims.

Our vision is to avail opportunities for them to participate in the most advanced and effective therapies.
Each girl’s ability to successfully obtain independence and self-reliance is paramount in our program. We will be preparing them for acceptance into one of our universities, trade schools or opportunities to engage in apprenticeships of their choice.

We’re seeking a property in Sarasota that allows us to conduct equine therapy, run a small family farm and has space for classrooms and workshops. And is surrounded by nature.

As these young women heal and move on to become independent contributors in our community, they will know they have a community family who love them and are always there to support them .
