Ready for gestalt?
ARE YOU READY TO DROP SOME OF THE DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIORS OR PATTERNS YOU EXPERIENCE?
Linda invites you to open the door to find your answers through your inherent wisdom. Together with a member of the herd, she will guide and hold space for your journey of healing with the peacefulness of Soulful Prairies surrounding you.
Linda continues to be inspired by the effectiveness of the Equine Gestalt Experience, as each client learns to trust, connect, and open up to their inner wisdom. Let Linda and the experiential nature of this powerful therapeutic model support your healing more efficiently and effectively.
You are not meant to continually swirl in the story around your trauma and unfinished business, there is freedom waiting beyond it.
ARE YOU READY TO STEP MORE FULLY INTO YOURSELF AND LET GO OF PATTERNS THAT NO LONGER SERVE YOU?
Through Sessions with Equine Gestalt Therapy, you’ll be guided to reconnect with your inner wisdom, gain clarity, and open the door to lasting transformation.
Linda offers sessions for individuals and couples, each designed to support where you are on your journey.:
1 ½ hour regular session
2 ½ hour extended session
Each experiential session includes the presence of a member of our herd, who is free to interact with you throughout the process. No prior horse or riding experience is needed.
Sessions are typically held in the indoor arena, but during warmer months may take place in the outdoor round pen or out in the pasture. A sense of safety, privacy, and confidentiality is always honored.
For those drawn to go even deeper, the Immersive Retreat offers a multi-day experience with a series of sessions and reflective time in between — a transformative opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life and truly immerse yourself in healing.
When travel isn’t possible, one-hour Zoom sessions provide an opportunity to connect from wherever you are.
To begin, Linda offers a complimentary 15-minute introduction call — a chance to experience her approach, ask questions, and see if you’re ready to begin your journey of self-discovery and growth.

1:1 Sessions
I recommend a package of at least four sessions but am open to customizing your experience. Equine Gestalt Sessions are held on the farm in the company of the herd. During the first farm visit, I will get you acclimated to the property and introduce you to the horses and other farm critters. We may end up in a pasture with the herd or in the indoor arena with a horse or two.
You do not need to have a background in horses to partake in this experience. Your comfort level with the horses will always be taken into consideration and is part of the growth process.
Grants may be available for those with financial need, please Contact Us.

Couples Sessions
Taking time to tend to a relationship is an important act of care. At times, slowing down together creates space to pause, reflect, and gently realign. A couples session offers a supportive environment to reconnect, strengthen understanding, and nurture the health of the relationship.
Adding the horses into your couple's session enhances the experience of finding balance and staying present in your heart. Self-awareness is everything. As you begin to find clarity, feelings and answers are more easily accessed.

Immersive Retreats
The immersive experience was created to offer individuals and couples the space to engage in meaningful, consistent work throughout their time at Soulful Prairies.
For individuals, stepping away for two or three days to reflect and reconnect with yourself creates the opportunity to gently move through what feels “stuck” and open into personal insight and growth.
For couples or any two-person relationship, we recognize that relationships are complex and can become tangled, often leading to frustration, disconnection, or confusion. When you’re feeling lost, alone, angry, or stagnant, taking intentional time together and approaching one another from a place of curiosity and understanding can create meaningful shifts and new perspectives.
Spend 2 or 3 nights in the Cabin on the Prairie while experiencing extended Equine Gestalt sessions of 2 ½ – 2 ¾ hours with Linda during the day for individuals or couples. Between sessions, enjoy time to reflect, relax and enjoy the 80-acre property, operating barn with horses and pastures, conservancy pond and viewing station.

about linda bruce
Certified equine gestalt practitioner, BA,MA
As a highly sensitive child, Linda often felt overwhelmed, finding solace and balance in her deep connections with animals, from nurturing orphaned creatures to empathizing with their pain and that of isolated children. This empathy shaped her life’s path, leading her through mid-life lessons in acceptance, boundary-setting, and self-trust, guided profoundly by her horses.
In a pivotal moment, Linda discovered the property that became Soulful Prairies, blending her energies with its legacy to unveil a space for healing. With over 30 years of riding experience, Natural Horsemanship training, and a background in social work—including roles at Jennings Teen Group Home, Department of Children and Family Services, and Omni Youth Services—she holds a Bachelor’s in Social Work, Master’s in Counseling, and certifications as a Double Master Equine Gestalt Practitioner, alongside training in Natural Lifemanship and Therapeutic Gong techniques. Linda has also served on boards for Hope Through Horses and World Citizen.
Her practice draws from Equine Gestalt’s experiential partnership with horses for self-exploration, Natural Lifemanship’s focus on attuned connections for trauma healing, and Imago Relationship Therapy’s transformative approach to relational growth. Linda believes in embracing vulnerabilities to foster inner peace that ripples outward.
