Awaken the Wisdom of Your Heart with Horses

Heartwell brings together equine-guided wellness and nature-based practices to help you reconnect with your heart. Through our trauma-informed approach, we create a nurturing space for healing, growth, and the cultivation of deeper well-being.

I’m Chantal Russell, and Heartwell is born from my passion for holistic wellness. Here, I blend equine-guided practices, nature, nervous system regulation, and somatic awareness to create a space for self-discovery, healing, and a deeper connection to the heart.

At Heartwell, I’m dedicated to supporting your unique journey toward healing and personal growth. Together, we’ll explore the transformative power of horses to awaken your heart and help you uncover the wisdom that lies within.

Central to this work is honoring the well-being of our horses—they are valued partners in this process, not tools or therapists. Ideally, this work supports their healing as much as it supports ours, creating a mutual exchange of care and connection. Join me in reclaiming your authentic self and nurturing a deeper sense of well-being.

Welcome to Heartwell

Equine-guided wellness is a transformative approach to healing and personal growth that harnesses the intuitive wisdom of horses. Horses, as sensitive and sentient beings, naturally respond to our emotions and energy, creating powerful opportunities for self-awareness, connection, and empowerment. In a trauma-informed and supportive space, this practice provides a safe and supportive environment to explore the wisdom of your inner world.

What is Equine-Guided Wellness?

  • Understand and process emotions with clarity and compassion.

  • Learn to regulate your nervous system and find a sense of calm.

  • Strengthen your boundaries and build healthier relationships.

  • Cultivate self-awareness, trust, and emotional resilience.

  • Reconnect with yourself, others, and the natural world.

How This Work Can Support You:

What Awaits You

  • Horses create a space where it feels safe to release stress, process trauma, and rediscover your inner strength.

  • Reconnect with your authentic self, while experiencing the profound bond between horses and humans.

  • Gain practical tools and insights to navigate challenges with greater confidence and ease.

  • Leave with a renewed sense of peace, purpose, and connection to the world around you.

Wells have long been symbols of the sacred feminine—places of renewal, mystery, and connection to life’s source.

Similarly, your heart is a wellspring of infinite potential, holding a profound capacity for healing, strength, and self-compassion.

At Heartwell, with the gentle guidance of horses, we invite you to reconnect with this sacred well within—a place where you can feel grounded, aligned, and deeply resourced. Horses, as intuitive and relational beings, help you attune to the wisdom of your heart, creating space for clarity, courage, and the flow of abundant love to guide your life.
