Nature-Based Therapy & Equine-Assisted Healing
at Fauna Forest Farm in Jonesborough, TN
Anu Beginning Therapy offers quality counseling services for those seeking a more soulful, natural way to heal — in partnership with horses, the land, & the wisdom of your own body.
We partner with the natural world to create the conditions for deeper healing. Being in nature for therapy removes the obstacles of modernity and creates a container for co-regulation, where clients discover they are more able to explore authentic, dynamic, and resilient versions of themselves.
We learn from the surrounding ecology how to be in harmonious relationship, and from the trees in the wind how to bend and not break. There’s a returning to our natural wisdom that can happen in nature.

Healing with Horses
Saturday, Sept. 6th, 9:30am - 12:30pm
Fauna Forest Farm, Jonesborough, TN
In this collaboration with horses, humans and horses share their presence and wisdom, leading to a shared space of renewal for both species. We experience relearning how to be in healthy relationship, reconnecting to self and other, and renewal of hope and freedom to choose health over isolation.
