Herd Heart Healings are a collaboration between the Inner Freedom herd, Elizabeth Carden, and Stacy Nelson. Guests are met at the gate and greeted by the herd, Stacy and Elizabeth. We then move into the covered area of the horses’ pasture to sit with the horses and set the healing intention together. Guests are invited to lay down (remaining seated is also an option) and Stacy and Elizabeth conduct a reiki-inspired healing session led by the wisdom and guidance of the horses. In total this healing experience is 60 – 75 minutes.
Herd Heart Healings are a co-creation between the horses, the humans present, the land, and the invisible realm. We trust in the healing intention we set in motion for a guest to receive what is most supportive for their unique journey. We are inspired by the philosophy and approach of reiki, which is universal life energy, and share this during the treatment session. However we are open and receptive to the information from our horse partners in sessions and trust that they know how to arrange themselves to most support us as practitioners as well as for the guest receiving the treatment. We are therefore reiki inspired, and as much as anything we are creating a space for humans to come attune to the frequency the horses share to support our own remembering of our divine essence, our innate perfection, and belonging as a part of life.
This is an evolving offering. We began doing it for ourselves for fun and have had the opportunity to share it with a few friends. We are now open to booking sessions at a reduced rate of $150 for the month of June 2025 as we continue to play, learn, and open to how this offering wants to unfold.
About Stacy Nelson: Stacy grew up on a farm, nestled in the rolling hills of upstate NY. Being a ‘farm girl’ has been a touch point of her life and still inspires her.
Her work is rooted in presence, trust, and a belief that true healing often happens in the quietest spaces. As a healthcare provider Stacy often saw firsthand that people need care that honors the whole person—not just the physical body. Reiki became a way to offer something different: a pause. A sanctuary. A moment to return to the self.
She brings her full heart, clinical knowledge, and intuitive sensitivity to each session.
About Elizabeth Carden: Elizabeth shares horse medicine with humans through Inner Freedom in partnership with her herd of three mustangs and one burro at their home in southwest Michigan. Elizabeth is a Reiki practitioner, a certified Mastery Practitioner from The Reflective Horse, and a humble listener to the animals, land, and plants with which she plays. Being with horses has been transformative for Elizabeth in her own journey of softening, self discovery and embodiment; she loves creating spaces for others to remember their true self in the presence of free roaming horses.
About the Inner Freedom herd: We have three mustangs and one burro in the herd. They were all born wild in the western United States and rounded up as part of the Bureau of Land Management’s Wild Horse and Burro Program. Three have been gifted to Elizabeth. They are utterly themselves, and with each passing day reveal the expansiveness of their nature.
Please note: as we are partnering with large animals who are by nature unpredictable, we reserve the right to move a session indoors. As a guest if you are unsatisfied with your experience in any way we offer a full refund.
