Welcome
I’m Shreyasi Brodhecker, a trauma-informed practitioner, mindfulness facilitator, psychiatrist, and womb wisdom guide. For over five years, I have supported women through emotionally complex life transitions via individual sessions, group circles, retreats, and experiential healing work.
Embodiment is the Sacred Red Thread weaving through my offerings- fertility support and equine-facilitated therapy- so you feel held, grounded, and supported.
I offer practices for feminine embodiment, somatic healing, and nervous system support on your IVF/IUI fertility path, in spaces where you feel deeply witnessed and empowered.
I also support those with chronic depression, anxiety and trauma through the body-based healing of equine facilitated therapy.
So you begin trusting your body’s wisdom as a pathway for your emotional healing.

The Red Thread Fertility Support
(for women receiving IUI or IVF)
Womb-Centered Healing and Fertility Support
Women’s bodies are sacred vessels cultivating spiritual healing.
If you’re a woman on an IVF/IUI journey and feeling…
- disconnected from your womb,
- let down by your body,
- numb or overwhelmed,
- grief from pregnancy losses, delayed dreams and wishing you were a mother,
this space is for you!
I weave ceremony, somatic therapy, story-telling and reflection- all lovingly curated for women trying to conceive with the help of medical fertility treatments.
Your fertility journey is held with reverence and compassion.
Here, you experience multidimensional womb healing (physiological, emotional, spiritual, and energetic), mindfulness and self-compassion, trauma-informed somatic practices and more.
This is a sacred resting place where the emotional, spiritual, and energetic layers of infertility are honored alongside your medical journey.
Clients often leave sessions feeling:
- kinder towards their bodies
- clearer about fertility-related decisions
- connected to their womb
- trusting of their intuition, &
- hopeful for future outcomes
My Signature Programs
Rooted in Devotion– a 10-week immersive journey into womb wisdom, somatic practice, ceremony and story-sharing around infertility.
Sacred Ambrosia– A 5-week equine facilitated therapy group for women receiving medical fertility treatments, who seek rest and connection with the herd and others on this journey.
Mindful Mare Wellness Equine Facilitated Therapy
Reconnect with Your Body in the Presence of the Herd
If you’re seeking emotional wellness in the presence of horses, and have a clinical diagnosis of depression, anxiety and/or trauma, then the Mindful Mare Wellness program may be for you!
My team and I offer 1:1 sessions and groups in equine facilitated therapy in partnership with the magical herd at Spirit Farm Gypsy Cobs in Sherwood Park, Alberta.
Equine-facilitated therapy, or emotional healing with the herd, helps you to reconnect with your body, process emotions and regulate your nervous system. These sessions are mindful, relational, and body-centered. Your safety, pace, and needs are honored.
Equine-Facilitated Therapy is a form of Horse Medicine
Horse Medicine is a relational, embodied form of healing that emerges when horses meet us with honesty, presence, and emotional attunement. These intuitive, grounded beings reflect back our inner state and invite us into deeper regulation, authenticity, and connection with self.
Through this work, you may experience:
- Grounding and breath awareness
- Somatic tracking and emotional release
- Co-regulation with the herd
- Nature-based mindfulness
- Relational attunement and secure attachment
This is the power of Horse Medicine- mystical and primal, rooted in the body, and offered in deep partnership with the herd.
Who This Work Supports
Clients seeking equine-facilitated therapy may want to:
- feel more grounded and connected to their bodies
- reduce anxiety, stress, overwhelm, or shutdown
- process trauma gently and safely
- build authentic boundaries
- reconnect with nature and intuition, &
- heal after major life changes or loss
Clients often leave sessions feeling:
- calmer and more present
- emotionally clear and less overwhelmed
- more regulated and grounded, &
- connected to their bodies

My Podcast: The Red Thread: Fertility, Healing & the Embodied Journey
“This kindness made me cry, because I felt seen; the real me. Just through our energy and connection, another living breathing animal ‘heard’ me, without ever saying a word. It was a powerful realization.”
“Your program was a turning point for me both in my professional career and personal life. It stoked the fire within my soul that had been merely smoldering. It literally gave me room to expand, breathe and step into my own light”.
“To be out in nature…,leaves crunching under my feet & instantly feel the healing begin on the grounds of this incredible place, was something that not only opened my heart, but it was EXACTLY what I believe each of us who were there today, as well as the horses, needed.”
“Thank you for this wonderful course. It has given me the tools to cope with the existing situation and possible future scenarios and opened up a new way to approach life.”
Thank you for a wonderful program. The program helped me in reducing stress and learning to breathe to help reduce anxiety and stress!”
“I attended Mindful Mares The Herd is our Guide Joy Session™️ and it was beautifully grounding, magical and heart filling. The horses were so calm, gentle, and loving. Being around them naturally brought peace, awe and presence in my being. The smiles were endless! Shreyasi was a magnificent facilitator of Joy based values and helped me discover my top 5! They’ve been a great anchor in helping me make decisions aligned with my Joy. Frank was also a great teacher, guide and jokester! Together with their beautiful herd and their magical land, Mindful Mare is a must! Therapy for the Soul.”
“I am so thankful for the experience of feeling ease and the healing energy of joy through the horses. Their love was palpable and left me in a trance of peace. I loved witnessing the horses ability to stay present in each moment and to completely surrender to what is. This lesson of “ease of being” has become my inspired action to keep JOY alive in me daily. I am extremely thankful for Shreyasi and Frank for their kind, welcoming environment. Mindful Mare Wellness is a hidden gem of serenity and love in our city.”
“The time spent with the herd is always so rewarding for me and I find myself lost in their giving and receiving of love and affection. It helps me to shut out the chaos of my life.”
“I am filled with overflowing gratitude when I think of you all Shreyasi, Caroline, the herd, sweet Jasper, all of the amazing strong Women in the group, Frank and everyone I shared a connection with. Joining therapy group therapy sessions and being supported by you has truly had a great impact on my life and helped me heal in ways I never thought were achievable.
Through our group therapy sessions, I was able to learn how to regulate my nervous system, connect with nature and animals, breathe through hard moments of pain and learn how important it is to release through journaling and speaking my truth with others.
I think back to one of the meditations that Shreyasi led where we were asked to feel the connection between our mind, heart and womb and it was so special and vivid for me because for the first time in a long time I truly felt safe and connected to myself and my womb. I felt a connection/vision with my spirit baby in that moment telling me (the future) would bring a profound blessing.”
