What Happens to Survivors?

Rancho Milagro Foundation is a beautiful ranch situated in northeast Scottsdale, AZ. They use equine therapy and various forms of coaching to provide a place of refuge and healing for survivors of abuse and trauma. Their therapeutic programs are designed to heal and rejuvenate all aspects of an individual’s mind, body and spirit.

“Horses deliver a distinct sensitivity that participants relate to in order to bring trust and healing. A horse’s keen sense mirrors the environment to provide valuable coping tools. Participants leave feeling revived and refreshed because of this unique approach to therapy.”  

“As a child of abuse, I found my only refuge was with my animals and I’ve had a healing vision ever since to bring this gift to others. By using my trauma recovery as a guide, God has given me a passion to help others who have suffered from severe abuse. Horses saved my life and now I am thankful and ready to help others start their journey to their own personal recovery.”
