Welcome to Velvet Heart Haven
The freedom to feel and the softness to heal
Our Mission
Velvet Heart Haven’s mission is to provide mental and emotional wellness to at-risk, vulnerable, and underserved populations through the assistance of equines.
Velvet Heart Haven was founded with a simple goal: to help those in need. Our founder, Kristan Adams, saw the healing power that horses had on her own mental health and wanted to share that experience with others. She started by volunteering with horses and quickly realized that they could be a powerful tool in helping individuals overcome trauma and mental health challenges. We believe in the techniques and processes of equine assisted psychotherapy and life-changing ability these equines have on humans.
At Velvet Heart Haven, we believe in the power of healing through horses. Our team specializes in treating at-risk, vulnerable, and underserved populations, helping them to find emotional and mental wellness. Our programs include Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, Equine Assisted Learning, Mindfulness Groups, and Equine Education.
At Velvet Heart Haven, we use equine-assisted therapy to help individuals facing mental and emotional challenges. The licensed mental health professionals work with clients and horses to provide a safe and supportive environment. Through our programs, individuals learn how to build healthy relationships, improve communication, and develop coping skills. We are committed to helping our clients achieve long-term mental and emotional wellness. We stand in support of the rescue of all equines from slaughter houses and are committed to educating our communities about the dangers of it.
Your donation can make a difference in the lives of both horses and humans. By supporting Velvet Heart Haven, you are helping us provide equine-assisted therapy to at-risk, vulnerable, and underserved populations. Your donation will also help us support our rescued equines and our ability to educate our communities on equine safety, equine rescue, and slaughter houses.
We are always in need of volunteers to help with our programs, events, and fundraising efforts. Whether you are an experienced horse handler or have no experience at all, we have a place for you. Join us in our mission to provide mental and emotional wellness to those who need it most.
