A Message from Founder Linda Chacholiades
For most of my life, horses have been quietly shaping the person I am becoming.
Each has offered a different lesson. Together, they have transformed the way I understand fear, trust, presence, confidence, and self-worth. They have taught me that authentic growth cannot be rushed, that trust is earned through consistency and relationship, and that genuine connection begins the moment we stop pretending and allow ourselves to simply be.
Those lessons inspired the creation of Horses & Humans Unite, and today they continue through LPC Wellness.
Founder, LPC Wellness (Formerly Horses & Humans Unite)
I now have the privilege of welcoming clients to the peaceful private farm in Spring Valley, Wisconsin, where my four retired polo horses — Artemis, Orion, Cosmo, and Mira Rose — live as a herd. Here, surrounded by nature, our work unfolds at a slower pace. There is room to breathe, to reflect, and to experience the kind of presence that modern life rarely allows.
As a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach trained and certified through the Mayo Clinic, I integrate evidence-based coaching with meaningful experiences alongside the horses. Together, they create opportunities that often move beyond conversation alone, allowing insight to become something you can genuinely experience.
It is a privilege to share this remarkable herd with those seeking a deeper connection to themselves, to others, and to the life they hope to create.
About LPC Equine Wellness Experiences
Our Mission is to Recognize and Share the Power of Horses as Agents of Healing.
My mission is to help people rediscover themselves through meaningful experiences with horses and nature. With the assistance of our equine partners, I will guide you through a unique journey of self-discovery, vision, and purpose by focusing on your strengths and aspirations for a more meaningful life.
Horses have the power to open and shift our perception by being profound observers of our emotions and body language. In working with horses, we learn that communication is not only language based, but that intention, energy, and self-awareness are implicit in creating this seemingly invisible communication. As these "invisible" senses develop, they help us discover our intuitive powers to assist in navigating a life filled with meaning and well-being.
How Horses Support Wellness:
As we spend time with the herd, clients often discover a deeper awareness of their thoughts, emotions, communication patterns, and relationships. Many leave with greater clarity, renewed confidence, healthier boundaries, and a stronger sense of trust — not only in others, but in themselves.
These experiences are intentionally designed to complement the coaching process, allowing reflection to become lived experience through meaningful interaction with nature and the horses.
No previous horse experience is necessary.
Only curiosity, openness, and a willingness to begin exactly where you are.
What Clients Say
Abby
HHU has had such an impact on my relationship with horses, myself, and others. I am more honest with my own emotions, feel more present both at the barn and in my daily life, and am more confident in my ability to understand how horses communicate with us.
Laura
One of my favorite things about being here is that I get to be present with the horses and really notice what’s going on inside of me. I slow down, breathe, and check in with myself. That’s been, honestly, my favorite part of this experience.
