Healing in Motion: Somatic Restoration Through Equine-Assisted Trauma Recovery -Aletha Williams, PhD

Overview: This presentation shares key findings from a Heuristic Inquiry, a qualitative study on how equine experiential learning supports somatic restoration in trauma survivors. Grounded in trauma-informed, mind-body approaches, it highlights how horse-human interactions help regulate the nervous system, rebuild trust, and support embodied healing. The research provides practical insights for therapists, coaches, and community leaders seeking alternative healing modalities rooted in nature and relationships.
