We understand the challenges of navigating the transformative journey as facilitators amidst bustling practices. It’s all too common to feel overwhelmed, stagnant, and drained by demanding schedules.
That’s why we established a global community of kindred spirits—professionals who share our values and are dedicated to mutual growth and support. Together, we offer the revitalizing encouragement necessary to stay inspired and deliver our best for those we serve.
It’s about being a part of a community devoted to lifelong learning in an accepting and authentic space.
At Arenas for Change, we provide a peer community that honors and cherishes your expertise while equipping you with dynamic resources to enhance the safety and efficiency of your client outcomes.
We share a belief in the profound influence of nature and animals in the healing journey—for both ourselves and those we serve. Our diverse community includes seasoned professionals working in many types of arenas, spanning mental health, education, coaching, and equine practices, whether conducted outdoors, indoors, or online.
Within the ARCH community, we encourage continuous growth, inviting you to push your boundaries, explore deeper dimensions, and refine your facilitation skills. Together, we elevate the impact of our collective work.
I am so excited to be part of ARCH and joining this community of like-minded, humble, passionate people. This is a powerful, experiential framework. My clients are gaining so much from it. Both personally and professionally, story is powerful.

What It's All About
Get results for your clients faster and more effectively utilizing the ARCH framework of facilitation.
The ARCH membership platform teaches, shares and applies the ARCH framework, an adaptable, empowering approach focused on the nuances of facilitation in creating emotionally safe environments where clients feel seen and heard, setting the stage for impactful transformation.
The ARCH framework is an innovative foundation grounded in values and keystones called SEEN™.
Through a story mindset, and incorporating horses, animals and nature, either in-person or through telehealth, the SEEN keystones are the thought process we are going through as we interact with and support our clients.
Because when you incorporate story into your mental health, education or coaching sessions, you will take your sessions deeper and faster, in an organic, emotionally safe way.
Learn a collaborative, engaging and fun approach, adaptable to your unique style and specialization, and transform you and your client work.
Bring about deep insight and lasting change for your clients.

What Others Are Saying...
We are seeing immediate results applying the framework!
ARCH provides a great learning environment. We have implemented this framework into our practice and have been able to see a direct change the first time with our clients opening up more and sharing their story.
CAROL YOUNG
Certified Master Mental Health Coach, Leadership and Professional Development Coach
I am surprised how powerful story is in opening others up!
I felt stagnant in my practice and that I needed to get “unstuck”. This workshop gave me a totally new way to work with clients. One that is far away from the usual MI, CBT, and DBT that I’m used to. I was surprised how using story can open up a path for therapy, and can be used in any setting.
MEGAN McGOVERN NARLOCK
Mental Health Professional
Our clients are loving this framework!
The ARCH framework is so powerful and works seamlessly with and without horses! We have been amazed how it has helped our clients gain deep awarenesses more quickly. Plus they have really enjoyed working through the story framework.
KATIE STANKIEWICZ
Certified Leadership Coach, Horse Professional, CEO of Willow Equine
I highly recommend!
This is a wonderful technique to add to my toolbox in working with clients and horses. It is appropriate for a wide variety of referral concerns and appeals to all ages! The structure is very helpful for clinicians to stay focused on the client’s story and to effectively help those who are struggling.
ALETA E. STRICKLAND
Licensed School Psychologist
I am excited to use this approach with more than just horses.
The empowerment that this approach provides is unique and more powerful than any other experiential therapies I have experienced. This is also a framework that a therapist can truly make their own and allows for an authentic and not pressured session.
JULIA ROSE
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Thank you ARCH team for your dedication to advancing this “magical” work!
The Foundations Course is fun and more experiential than most online instruction. I was excited to learn more about how storytelling influences the human brain, affirming that this mindset is naturally transformational. Having the facilitators debrief after each chapter provided deep insight, and hearing the client herself describe her experience of the process was enlightening.
JANICE FORD
Therapist and Coach
The results amazed us!
The Foundations Course is very enjoyable and opened up a new way of working with our clients. I have ‘experimented’ with one client and the results amazed us both!
KATHLEEN BROUGHAN, Ph.D.
Thank you to ARCH for creating such an incredible course!!
We took this course as a group of 4 and thoroughly enjoyed the process! We had extensive and rich conversations every week. The content and journal prompts were excellent conversation starters that sparked wonderful discussion for our team and program development!
LEXIE PIERCE
Program Director
I can’t believe how fast we were able to address vulnerable topics!
I just completed a one day corporate event. Of all the short events I have done, this was the most powerful. I can’t believe how deep and fast they were able to address vulnerable topics using the ARCH story framework. They loved it!
