SonnyDaze Ranch Mental Health and Wellness Programs

At SonnyDaze Ranch, we believe that humans need both 'nature and nurturing' as essential parts to understanding the world around us. Our holistic and experiential approach allows participants to explore the connections between different evidence-based coping strategies to improve their own human experience. Our staff are experts in their respective fields and are dedicated to helping participants develop their own individualized goals for self-improvement and explore their creative potential. Our programs are for anyone who is interested in self-improvement and self-empowerment. 

SonnyDaze Ranch is NOT a riding program, all sessions and group experiences are completed on the ground with the horse(s) and staff. The programs offered are NOT Mental Health therapy sessions or Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL), or Equine Assisted Activities (EAA) or Equine Psychotherapy (EP). The programs at SDR are a unique and new approach to horses actually doing the teaching, combined with a skill building focus and a classroom component that offers psychoeducation on the different topics being offered. All topics and group sessions will follow the holistic and experiential approaches, while also utilizing the Polyvagal Theory as evidence-based and supported. The programs are self-empowering and for self-fulfillment, they should NOT be used to replace traditional Mental Health Therapy Modalities. 

The programs at SonnyDaze Ranch are in a group format, slots start at a minimum of 2 participants and a maximum of 14. We like to keep the groups small so everyone gets a chance to participate in the equine parts of the sessions. Sessions can vary in lengths of time, number of days, and/or be specific to certain groups, populations or ages for different topics, so please read all the details for each group. Anyone can participate in the programs, we are handicap accessible (ADA) and can make any additional accommodations. 

SonnyDaze Ranch programs can also accommodate larger groups from corporations, agencies/organizations, churches, schools, sports teams, club groups etc., while also customizing these private scheduled groups to topic specific sessions. For larger private group scheduling please schedule an appointment to discuss details, scheduling and pricing.
