“It is enough; now, o lord…”

Juniper Tree was born out of years of coming alongside hurting, struggling people. The name was derived from 1 Kings 18-19, where Elijah finds himself exhausted, discouraged, scared, and burned out. It is here that he tells God that he is at the end of his rope, and asks for his life to be ended. Elijah finds rest at the base of a Juniper tree, deep, soul-restoring sleep. God ministers to his body and spirit, and Elijah is rejuvenated to continue on.

How often are we looking for our own Juniper tree? A place of rest from the pace of life, from the weights and burdens we carry. God invites everyone to find that rest in Him. Here at Juniper Tree, we use the gracious care of God and his Word to identify those weights, source their roots, and work to align them back into a healthy rhythm or release them completely.

Horses provide a unique dimension to therapy. When used for mental, emotional and spiritual health, they act as a grounding presence and as a mirror, reflecting back to us the emotional stability we are projecting. Like us, they are uniquely created by God to serve a specific purpose and have proven to be a valuable tool in therapy. Horses also provide incredible benefit for physical healing and health. The 3-D movement of the horse most closely matches that of humans, and has shown to increase muscle tonicity, balance, hand/eye coordination, core strength, to name a few. They are special and incredible!

Juniper Tree does not diagnose any condition, or provide treatment options for any diagnosed condition. However, we are equipped to help you manage the symptoms of your diagnosis, and even overcome various aspects of it. Please let us know how to help YOU.
