Equine-assisted therapy
As a PATH Therapeutic Horse Riding Instructor, I offer private lessons with the fundamental goal to allow children to learn how to connect with horses in a safe environment. Activities include problem solving, relationship building and observation. Students learn horsemanship skills through both groundwork exercises and eventually learning to ride a horse. A student has the option for mounted or unmounted lessons. Both have significant benefits. Each session is tailored to the student's needs. Get in touch to schedule a free phone consultation and learn more about alternative therapy packages.
Each session includes horsemanship skills, and may also include a mounted riding lesson. We focus on problem solving, relationship building, and more depending on the student's needs.
The PATH Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor (CTRI) is a credential for individuals in the equine-assisted services profession who provide riding instruction of therapeutic value to people with disabilities. This may include mounted or unmounted work ethically partnering with an equine. CTRIs have met established criteria and standards of practice in the field. They have demonstrated their knowledge of disabilities, equines, teaching and human-animal interactions necessary for effective results.

Sound therapy
Did you know you can tune your body with sound? Sound can bring your nervous system into balance, reduce stress, and integrate left and right brain thought patterns into harmonic balance. I offer simple exercises and practices for others to discover how to integrate sound therapy in their lives. Dr. John Beaulieu wrote, “Vibration, sound, and consciousness are fundamental manifestations of the universe that largely define the nature of existence and the structure and organization of everything that exists.” Click here to book a free phone consultation today and learn more about alternative therapy packages.
Developmental therapy
Developmental therapy can have emotional and behavioral benefits, and can open doors to a wide range of interests and social opportunities. This includes play therapy, recreational therapy and social skills therapy. Play is the basis for all learning. Play therapy can break down barriers and improve relationship building, creating a safe and motivating environment to explore. Recreational therapy uses recreational activities to help regain mobility and improve confidence. Activities may include doing puzzles and playing games, gardening, cooking, or outdoor activities. Social skills therapy focuses on building skills for conversation and social interaction. Click here to book a free phone consultation today and learn more about alternative therapy packages.

What clients say
"As a Marine Veteran of multiple wars, when we come out of that life, we find it difficult to find our place in the civilian world. Our mission has ended and we lack a purpose and place, while being reminded of a past life. With Equine-assisted therapy and training with Camron Adibi, I was introduced to Hugo, who is a rescue horse. Cam guided me on how to introduce myself to Hugo, how to approach slowly from the side, allowing Hugo to listen to me and showing him that I was safe and that I would not hurt him. Sometimes as veterans, we want to hear some of the same things. I brushed Hugo, cleaned him and ultimately walked him around. We both got exercise together. This gave me a sense of purpose. I felt a part of a team: Team David and Hugo. I felt like a leader again, and I slowly gained confidence as the time moved on. I felt the mission and purpose as we both made a beautiful connection. I know many other can benefit from such therapy and training. In this workd, talk therapy or other modalities might work for some. This type of connection and therapy can benefit the healing journey for those who want to learn about connecting with a horse. Thanks Cam and Hugo"

What clients say
"My wife and I had one session with Cam, Hugo, Tenny and Delight. They taught us about different ways to communicate and transfer energies like trust, love and facing our fears. We both left there with more enthusiasm and hope than when we arrived with all the chaos going on in our lives right now. Thank you Cam for the experience of the horses and humans"

What clients say
"Camron has skillfully guided my rescue horse, Tenny and me in overcoming some deeply rooted traumas and anxieties. His whole-horse approach to training is compassionate, insightful, and impressively effective. He helped me learn how to better communicate with my horse by understanding my energy and my horse's energy. I urge those who want to explore deeper connections with a horse to work with Camron!"

What clients say
"Camron worked with my mare Freya for six weeks. During that time I’ve noticed she is more open to others in her space. Her gate has improved and she is starting to let go of the stress her body has been holding and relax. She has benefited both physically and emotionally from her sessions with sound therapy"

What clients say
"Camron is kind, patient, and dedicated; he takes the time to get to know his students, and weaves their personal interests into the lessons. Working with Camron, my son has grown more confident and engaged, and always looks forward to their time together. In equine therapy, Camron has done a wonderful job of fostering a connection between my son and the horse, and I love seeing the huge smile on my son's face while he rides. Camron graciously shares knowledge and resources, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with him!"
- Jessica R.
What clients say
"Camron offers individualized experiences that happen to end with a horse. He sculpts his services based on the child's needs. My son is autistic and he was initially too nervous to get near the therapy horse, so Camron worked with my son's strengths: his love of chickens, architecture, tools, and history. Eventually my son was so engaged and comfortable in the barn that he said yes to riding. He was ecstatic, and most importantly he learned that he could not only overcome a fear, but enjoy the outcome. Learning this flexibility and joy was wonderful to witness. I couldn't imagine a kinder and more gentle approach to teaching, not just about horses, but about life. Camron genuinely cares to learn about and teach his students"
