Soul Strides: Transformative Healing through Equine and Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

Menlo Park, CA — [Insert Date] — Dr. Sara Herman, MD, founder of Soft Reboot Wellness, and Alison Hunter, LMFT, a seasoned therapist specializing in equine-assisted therapy, are thrilled to announce the official launch of Soul Strides, a nonprofit dedicated to holistic, transformative healing. Combining the therapeutic power of equine-assisted therapy with the groundbreaking potential of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, Soul Strides offers a pioneering, nature-based approach to mental health that fosters deep, sustainable change.

A Unique Collaboration for Healing

Soul Strides represents a truly innovative collaboration, blending Dr. Herman’s expertise in psychedelic-assisted therapies with Alison Hunter’s mastery of equine-facilitated mental health. Together, they have created a program designed to help individuals heal from trauma, anxiety, depression, and other challenges through a combination of group process work and hands-on experiences with horses. The horses mirror clients’ emotions, offering non-judgmental feedback that deepens the therapeutic process. The integration of these modalities creates a powerful and embodied healing journey that addresses both mind and body.

Dr. Sara Herman, MD, explains the vision behind this partnership: “By integrating ketamine-assisted therapy with equine work, we provide a deeply embodied path to healing that allows individuals to reconnect with themselves and others in ways that are profoundly transformational.”

Alison Hunter, LMFT, highlights the unique healing potential of working with horses: “The connection between humans and horses is powerful and healing. Combining this with psychedelic therapy offers participants a truly transformative experience that can lead to long-lasting emotional growth and healing.”

Programs at Soul Strides

Soul Strides offers a variety of therapeutic programs designed to accommodate different needs and schedules:

Day-Long Retreats: Participants engage in virtual preparation and integration sessions alongside immersive in-person equine-assisted and therapeutic experiences.
Multiday Retreats: These intensive retreats allow for deeper exploration and healing through a combination of equine therapy, group processing, and guided journeys.
Three-Month Cohort Programs: For sustained transformation, these programs alternate weekly between ketamine journeys and equine therapy, offering a continuous therapeutic experience in a supportive group setting.
