The Mindful Mare Wellness Team

Frank is the Co-Founder of Mindful Mare Wellness. He is also Program Coordinator and a Mental Health Therapist/Equine Facilitated Wellness professional in the team. He brings to Mindful Mare Wellness his expertise of over 22 years working as a Geriatric Mental Health Social Worker, personal experience of being a foster parent and hockey coach, and years of horse experience. Equine Facilitated Wellness merges his coaching expertise with his experience and love for horses.
Frank’s mission, besides keeping the herd and humans at the farm in optimal health, is to support our clients’ resiliency so he leaves this world a better place than when he arrived! He encourages humor and ease, so people aren’t just focused on their struggles. Laughter and acceptance through tough times can make a huge difference.

They have also completed Eponaquest© workshops offered by Roxy Wright of Heart’s Haven Ranch, are certified in First Aid for humans and equines, and have extensive experience owning and caring for horses. We recently hired a third mental health professional to the team. She is a registered psychiatric nurse with expertise in dialectical behavior therapy and in facilitating therapy groups.

Horses and healing happen in a beautiful synergy and we honour the horses in the Mindful Mare Wellness program!
