Reignite Your Passion and Purpose with ARCH
It’s not uncommon to lose connection with the passion that first drew you to this work. The weight of holding space for others—especially in isolation—can lead to burnout, stagnation, and disconnection.
That’s where ARCH comes in.
Through innovative training, certification, and a deeply supportive community of peers, you’ll gain fresh insights and practical tools designed specifically for nature-based and equine-assisted practices.
Together, we uplift and inspire one another—empowering you to reignite your purpose, expand your skills, and serve your clients with renewed clarity and creativity.
Because transformation starts with you.
The ARCH Story-Based Framework.
Rooted in the SEEN™ Keystones, the ARCH framework offers a powerful, emotionally safe approach to supporting clients through story. These guiding questions help facilitators create space where clients feel truly seen and heard—empowering them to authentically and organically honor and shift their stories in ways that invite meaningful transformation.
When applied in experiential settings with horses, animals, and nature, client stories come alive—opening the door to new insights, perspectives, and possibilities.
It is fresh, dynamic, engaging, and deeply fulfilling —for both you and your clients.

This is an amazing training I can use right away!
There are definitely some aspects that are missing from previous trainings that this training completely captured. I also love the online platform!

The framework is unlike anything else I have seen!
This is a wonderful facilitation training. I was surprised that it was really fun! I enjoyed getting to know the people involved. Lynn and her team are exceptional people.
KAITLYN COLE

Thank you so much for this incredible foundation course!
Watching actual sessions with the wonderful debrief afterwards is a beautiful opportunity to deepen learning of the ARCH framework.
HEATHER JEFFREY
Mental Health Professional & Equine Professional
It feels very authentic and genuine and allows my sessions to flow easily.
The ARCH framework offers the client the opportunity to tell their story in a supportive environment and invites facilitators to go through that journey with them. It works so well with children of all ages.
ROBIN E. MAYS
Qualified Mental Health Professional for Children
This was very different. It’s really special.
It didn’t feel forced. The story came out exactly as it needed to. I wasn’t being asked about “tell me about your childhood.”
It was also really revealing. I feel fortunate to have had this experience.
ABENA
ARCH session participant
You have created a phenomenal way to learn and grow!
I love ARCH so much! I appreciated the SEEN through Horses module! It was awesome to watch actual sessions and see the difference between clients. It’s neat to be in an observer role of a different team’s full session.
