Some things in life simply cannot be explained—they have to be experienced. 🐴✨

So many of you have been asking how Onyx is doing and when we are officially coming back. I am so touched by your care for him, and I wanted to share a beautiful glimpse into how he is acclimating to his role—because he is truly showing up in ways that leave me breathless.

I had an incredibly heavy day recently and went out to see him. I knew I needed some energy work, but as a holistic spiritual being, I also held a deep awareness of the immense responsibility that comes with asking these animals to hold space for us. What made this moment even more profound is that I was actually serving as Onyx's very first client.

The moment I stepped in with him, he turned and walked right into my space. He let me lean my weight into him while I told him what a good boy he was for the vet. Then, he turned his head and pushed his muzzle directly into my heart.
He knew exactly where to go. As a spiritual being, my heart is my energetic compass and the keeper of my sacred truths. A horse’s muzzle is their most profound sensory radar, packed with dense clusters of nerve endings that feel vibrational frequencies long before they touch physical skin. By pressing his muzzle right into my chest, Onyx bypassed my mind entirely. He used his muzzle to create an intentional, sacred bridge straight into my heart space.

In that precise physical connection, Onyx was reading the invisible micro-vibrations of my soul. His muzzle became the ultimate conduit of healing, instantly recognizing the exact frequency of my exhaustion, my breathing patterns, and the heavy tension I was holding in my chest. He applied his presence while unlocking the stagnant energy so that light and healing could flow back in.

I just surrendered and let him work, knowing the incredible gift he was giving me. As the tears started to flow, we just stood together. I could physically feel that heavy energy shifting and leaving my body as he began to lick and chew—the horse's beautiful, natural sign of somatic processing and nervous system release—all while continuing to push gently back into my heart to anchor the healing.

People often ask me how equine-assisted healing works. The truth is, we can explain the science of nervous system co-regulation, but words will always fall short of that sacred, muzzle-to-heart connection. You have to feel that intuitive touch against your chest to truly comprehend it. Onyx is settling into his gift beautifully, proving to me in our very first official session that he is a master healer. We are so incredibly close to stepping back into this space with you all, and I am deeply honored to share his medicine with the world very soon. 🩷

Hey there, new friends! 👋 With new faces around here, I figured it was the perfect time to reintroduce myself!

💛Simply put, I work with the bookends of life: the littlest ones getting started, and the women needing to return to themselves.

💛I live in the "and." By day, I wear two very unique—but surprisingly connected—hats to support these journeys: I am the founder of Summit Acres Wellness by Ginny LaPrairie, which is truly a love letter to my own journey of transmuting life's toughest experiences, the people who invested in me, and to the women I serve because of it. I believe deeply in the power of this alchemy. As an Equine Assisted Wellness Practitioner, I bring extensive experience in functional nutrition, nervous systems, mindset work, and behavior modification, helping women find clarity, empowerment, and deep wellness alongside my horses.

💛The women who find me tend to be suffering with autoimmune issues, thyroid disorders, hormonal disturbances, gut health issues, and lots of stress and anxiety.

💛I am also a Lead Guide and Teaching Administrator for a Montessori Toddler Program, where I help our littlest humans construct themselves while cultivating a lifelong love for learning.

💛To help us get to know each other better, here are a few fun facts about how these two worlds intertwine: Toddlers and horses speak a similar language. Both toddlers and horses rely heavily on non-verbal communication, body language, and energy.

👀Whether I am working with horses at liberty or guiding children in the classroom, my superpower is deep listening—I see beyond words.

💡Independence is the ultimate goal. In the Montessori classroom, we support children as they construct themselves, living by the phrase, "Help me to do it myself." In equine wellness, we don't force breakthroughs—we create a safe space for women to discover their own strengths and boundaries while nurturing the internal environment.

🍁I live my life at the speed of nature. Working with both toddlers and horses requires immense patience, presence, and adaptability. You can't rush a horse, and you definitely can't rush a toddler! They both keep me beautifully grounded in the present moment.

🇺🇸My own home is full of purpose and dedication, and a lot of laughter. Beyond my work, I'm a proud spouse and mother of two young adults. We are a retired Naval Special Warfare family; both of our boys are continuing that tradition of service.

🍫I run on a healthy appreciation for chocolate!

💛Ultimately, my passion is creating safe, nurturing spaces for growth, curiosity, and deep wellness at both ends of the journey—and a lot of laughter.

I'd love to hear about YOU in the comments.

Ongoing coaching to restore balance, reconnect with intuition, and create lasting wellness. Blending evidence-based nutrition, functional health strategies, and equine-guided insight.

💡Did you know that the vibrant resilience you build with the horses at Summit Acres Wellness isn’t about trying to stay perfectly calm all the time?

While their grounding presence beautifully helps you co-regulate and invites your nervous system into honest self-awareness, the true magic happens because equine wisdom, functional nourishment, and holistic care work together as one complete system—expanding your body's natural capacity to ride life's waves and return to a state of deep wellness, rest, and vitality anywhere, at any time.

My quiet observer, Peanut. She's got your back. She offers a big smile and friendly wag but is always on duty. Aware of everything but reminds us that we don't need to comment on everything we see and not everything is ours to take on. She lets whatever is not her's pass but cares deeply for who and what is her's. She is sunshine with a tail and a heaping dose of discernment. 💛
