Support for Caregivers
Supporting the Supporters: Equine-Guided Wellness for Caregivers and Families
At Children Matter - Therapy 4 Kids, we understand that healing is a journey that doesn’t just
involve the child—it extends to the entire family. That’s why we’re proud to collaborate with
Tina Peratino, founder of Withers and Wellness, to offer equine-assisted coaching and
mindfulness experiences designed specifically for parents, caregivers, and loved ones.
While occupational therapy with horses supports children in regulation, development, and confidence-building, Tina’s work complements this beautifully by focusing on the emotional and mental well-being of the adults who support them.
Through trauma-informed, mindfulness-based sessions with horses, Tina creates a safe and calming space where adults can:
-
Pause and reconnect with themselves
-
Process the challenges of caregiving, parenting, or supporting a child with unique needs
-
Regulate their nervous system and reduce stress
-
Restore emotional balance, energy, and clarity
Whether you're a parent navigating your child’s therapy journey, a teacher, sibling, or loved one deeply invested in their care, you matter too. These sessions are about holding space for you—your emotions, your healing, your peace.
Sessions are offered both individually and in small groups at our shared equine space, where no prior experience with horses or mindfulness is needed. All Withers and Wellness activities are ground-based, there is no riding.
When the adults feel grounded, the children feel safe.
When caregivers are supported, families grow stronger.
We invite you to learn more about Withers and Wellness and how this partnership can support
your whole family—mind, body, and spirit.
