What our Clients Say

My child has been working on calming techniques for when his temper flares or he feels out of control of his emotions. The potted herb plant and deep breathing techniques practiced add new tools to his toolkit for managing his emotions.

My favorite thing [about Summer Camp] was using the music instruments to learn about the horses’ rhythm’.
