Natural Lifemanship

Natural Lifemanship (NL) is the new standard in equine-assisted psychotherapy. As the original Trauma-Focused Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (TF-EAP™), NL is based on contemporary medical research that explains the physiological and psychological impact of chronic stress and traumatic insults on child development beginning in utero. Founded on this science Natural Lifemanship views and treats psychological and behavioral disorders through a trauma lens by intentionally using horse physiology to regulate human physiology, and horse psychology to heal human psychology. In TF-EAP™ the relationship between the client and their horse is the foundation for healing and every interaction between the horse and human, whether on the ground or mounted, has a therapeutic purpose. Natural Lifemanship is a leader in transformative adult education for those seeking to understand why relationships matter to child development and how adult-child relationships can be built with the brain in mind. Natural Lifemanship teaches knowledge and principles that are universal and thus generalizable to people of all ages and to relationships of all types. People from all walks seek out our trainings to learn and to experience what it takes to improve the quality of their relationships.
