Hi, I’m Gloria Lybecker, founder of Healing You Sanctuary,

formerly Healing with Horses Sanctuary. As an Equine-led growth and resonance healing coach, and relational neuroscience communicator, I integrate somatic empathy, relational neuroscience and family constellations in my private practice and with my herd of 6 horses.

I love nurturing relationships of trust with families, helping them:

learn simple ways to support themselves.
stay in relationship with themselves and others.
evolve from avoiding relationships or hiding who they truly are.
hear the "yes" in every "no"
support clear communication at a cellular level

I Found My "Path" Through Motherhood

My youth was quite traumatic, and I stopped trusting humans at 14 years of age. Yet I love my 5 children and I was eager to stretch and grow myself to model a different way of being able to live this life. It's not been an easy path, yet so worth it

All the "Tools" and Processes That I Teach

What I have learned on my own personal healing journey, beginning with my beautiful Morgan mare who stayed in relationship with me when I was 14. I do my best to embody a radically different way of being, and when I inevitably rupture a relationship, (because I am human) I invite a repair - that's where the healing happens, in relationships that are open-hearted, authentic, transparent and trust in the process of life.

Serving Individuals, Couples, Families, and Groups

To live their passion and purpose and reach higher levels of well-being and contribution in the world, and have been in private practice 14 years, practicing as an educator/counselor/coach for over 20 years.

Get to Know Gloria

I am inspired

to better understand what happens within humans that influences patterns of behavior and communication, especially when trauma impacts life. I am particularly focused on developing environments where one can feel safe enough to release patterns of surviving that have outlived their usefulness and begin to thrive in life.

I am so passionate

about nurturing relationships with horses. They remind us humans who we really are and support us to step fully into our life purpose. I want more humans to discover (through their own experience) how to be more horse-like and live in the now. That where the juice of life is.

I use a holistic approach

with sound therapy, essentially re-training the brain to become more efficient and effective, strengthening neural connections and performance, reducing stress and auditory sensitivity while enhancing social engagement and resilience. This can be beautifully combined with mind-body work, with or without the horses.

I enjoy partnering with my horses

I believe passionately in the importance of learning

more loving ways of relating to ourselves and others, and more flexible, authentic and effective models of communication and leadership in our families, workplaces, and communities.

I offer online programs and facilitate courses

to enable this radically different way of being accompanied to be accessible to all who seek it. I want ripples of this way of resonant relationship to go far and wide out into the world!

Gloria has worked and co-facilitated programs with Sarah Peyton for over 14 years, she facilitates resonant language empathy, unconscious contract/sacred vow work, time travel empathy, equine journey sessions, and other constellations with horses to support growth and healing. Gloria works with individuals, couples, families and groups supporting them to release patterns of surviving that have outlived their usefulness. Discover how to thrive in the present.

You can participate in a variety of on-location workshops blending:

Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
Relational Neurobiology
Somatic Coaching
Equine-led Growth and Healing

Seeking community with other horse lovers, Gloria participated in an Equine Facilitated Learning workshop through Eponaquest Worldwide. Eager to increase her equine relationships she completed the Academy for Coaching with Horses certification in 2015-16 and the Advanced Facilitator certification in 2017.

Gloria’s herd has grown over the years to six majestic beings. Each has found their way to arriving uniquely, (from being rescued from slaughter to previous clients gifting Gloria with their beloved equine) the mystery of those journeys is enfolded into the experiential learning processes with the herd. Equine-led growth and healing programs enable you to learn about yourself and others by stepping into the knowing field in relationship with horses. Building an enduring relationship with another being is healing, especially with a horse large or small. All healing is relational.

Any questions you may have are always welcomed.

Crisis Services are available to those living on a limited income.
