In these sessions, horses serve as intuitive partners, helping you explore your emotions, patterns, and presence in the moment. Rather than structured activities, we co-create each session based on what emerges naturally—whether it’s stillness, movement, breathwork, or interaction with the herd. This somatic, experiential process allows for deep insight and embodied healing. Sessions are guided by Jennifer A. Baker, LCPC, TCYM-YT, a licensed psychotherapist with advanced training in trauma-conscious yoga, HeartMath, and equine-facilitated psychotherapy. Jennifer leads these sessions and pulls from these practices while also honoring where they originated from and how they are also imbedded in her history and part of her ancestry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60197ed507950267ffdbbf8c/1623902693118-SHWNSH3IYUS5M1QDGF3S/unsplash-image-vHnVtLK8rCc.jpg Home - Bodywork and Chinese Medicine Restore Balance with Bodywork, Chinese Medicine & Qigong Experience a deeply holistic approach to healing through Zen Shiatsu, Chinese medicine, and Qigong.

She is a Certified Asian Bodywork Therapist of Zen Shiatsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine. She’s also a Licensed Massage Therapist, Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master with extensive training in Qigong. Marie has been on a quest for true healing and restoring the natural balance of the body. She found long term chronic pain, syndromes and dis-”eases” were not resolving with physical therapy alone and knew there was more to healing than just working on the physical body. Marie takes a holistic approach that integrates the mind, body, and spirit. She is an advocate of being proactive with your health versus reactive as western medicine tends to be. Marie has been instrumental in the wellbeing of the horses and humans she works with and can be found co-facilitating retreats alongside Jennifer. She is especially gifted at adding her nuggets of wisdom that add a healthy dose of humor and play to the mix. Marie is able to apply her knowledge of Chinese Medicine and Accupressure point (the meridians) to the horses we work with as well. Marie is excited to work with you to help restore your natural balance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60197ed507950267ffdbbf8c/1612849724325-G5QVNKZ07CNPJXMR32WK/DSCF6842.JPG Our Team - Divine Shadow of “Grace” aka Gracie Cakes Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

We honor each person’s inner wisdom and unique journey toward wholeness—toward their true nature. Our holistic approach integrates mind, body, and soul wellness practices to foster deep healing and transformation. As a child, I felt a profound connection to animals and nature. I spent my days making mud pies, climbing trees, playing in the grass, and begging to rescue every stray animal that crossed my path. But as we grow, the playful and creative bond we share with the natural world often gets buried under the pressures of a fast-paced life. For years, I thrived in the city, far removed from my childhood dreams of horses and open landscapes. Then, after a particularly difficult year, my partner and I took a trip to the mountains. We stayed in a yurt on a 40-acre horse farm, and something inside me shifted. Slowing down, embracing the magic of the earth, and reconnecting with animals brought me back to myself—as if I was being called home to inner peace and harmony. That weekend, I reawakened my love of horses and knew it was time for a change. Two years later, we left the city for our first five-acre property and began creating the space and experiences we now share with you. You’ve heard about self-care, meditation, and self-compassion—but what do they really look like? ps. I used to roll my eyes at the thought of these things until i realized they could be culturally attuned for wellbeing. Maybe you’ve considered psychotherapy but wish there was an alternative to office-based or virtual talk therapy. Maybe you grew up in a culture that didn’t value therapy in the traditional sense. Perhaps you've always been curious about connecting with horses but never had access, or you’ve never seen yourself represented in farm or equestrian spaces. You just know something needs to change. You need nourishment and support. We are here to honor you experiences and offer a collaborative space to grow and explore. With over 30 years of combined experience in health and wellness, we offer a range of integrative practices, including: Equine-Facilitated Psychotherapy & Personal Growth Trauma-conscious yoga & mindfulness practices Bodywork & somatic healing Traditional Chinese Medicine Zen Shiatsu and Qigong and Now Horse Human relationship coaching We are a culturally sensitive, trauma-trained and informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming practice that values diversity and inclusion. At True Nature, we also acknowledge that healing is deeply tied to the land we stand on. We are grateful to live and work on the traditional homelands of the Potawatomi people, who have cared for this land for generations. Honoring the wisdom of those who came before us—both human and non-human—we strive to reconnect with the natural world in a way that is reciprocal, respectful, and rooted in reverence. Healing is not just personal; it is ancestral, ecological, and collective. Our “office” is located in Dowagiac, MI, and we offer retreat-style experiences and equine-facilitated psychotherapy on our six-acre farm in Southwest Michigan. We are honored to share our love of nature and connection with all beings, and we can’t wait to support you on your journey to wellness. —Jennifer A.
