Welcome to Rewild Therapy and Wellness, where nature is nurture.
We specialize in experiential, “bottom up” trauma therapy rooted in earth based practices.
What are earth based therapies?
Earth based therapy partners with the natural world to help clients heal through intentional, aware connection and slowing down the nervous system and internal world.
At Rewild, we practice undomesticated therapy by rewilding evidence-based therapy modalities by combining them with earth based practices that are outside of the box, outside of buildings, and in relationship with animals and plants, making them a little more wild and a whole lot closer to nature.
What is Undomesticated Therapy™?
Undomesticated therapy takes in the long-view of who we are as human beings in client conceptualization. This is therapy that includes and goes beyond the intra- and interpersonal aspects of a client and considers the context of our ancient, undomesticated selves, one’s ecological identity and history, and the role cultural socialization has on a client’s authenticity.
Undomesticated therapy rewilds conventional therapy through many experiential paths and approaches such as: challenging societal conditioning and norms; reawakening instinct and intuition through somatic practices; partnering with animals and wildlife such as horses, donkeys, or birds; integrating herbology or plant medicine; hiking or walk-n-talks; and most importantly – actively collaborating with one’s local bioregion in interventions from a place of competence, relationship, and consideration of the client’s presenting concerns

Hi, I’m Erin!
I started Rewild because I wanted to offer people an alternative to traditional therapy. I knew that nature and animals were healing in my own life, and wanted to offer that same healing to others.
I discovered nature based and earth-based practices through my studies with Colorado Ecotherapy Institute, trained in equine assisted psychotherapy (EAP) through the Gestalt Equine Institute of the Rockies, animal assisted therapy through Professional Therapy Dogs of Colorado, and eventually combined this with my training in EMDR and experience as a trauma clinician to create my own spin on traditional therapy, undomesticating practices and rewilding therapy modalities.
I have spent hours doing walk and talks with clients, playing with horses, birds, flowers, and trees, and helping clients find relief from stress, anxiety, and trauma symptoms through mindfulness and present-moment awareness and partnership with animals and nature. In the office I partner with my canine co-therapists, Buddy, and Lincoln. I currently work at 2 farms and team up with the horses at each location. I often tell clients that when they work with me they not only get 1 therapist to support them, but a team of 4-legged friends, as well.
What Makes Us Unique
Rewild Therapy and Wellness is an experiential, earth based trauma therapy practice.
We are a team of clinicians who offer a variety of research backed modalities to meet each clients unique personality, interests and needs.
Our nervous systems need nature to regulate.
More and more research is coming out validating what we already know:
People who spend time in nature are less stressed than people in an urban settings
People who move their bodies regularly and get physical exercise have less overall health problems
Healthy relationships contribute to overall wellness and happiness.
In this we honor that:
As humans we need movement, creativity, and expression.
We need fresh air and deep breath.
We need play and fun.
We need 3-dimensional relationships, not screens.
We need healthy, local foods with plenty of plants.
We need connection to the natural world and natural rhythms.
Let us rewild with you.
“You are comprised of 84 minerals, 23 Elements, and 8 gallons of water spread across 38 trillion cells. You have been built up from nothing by the spare parts of the Earth you have consumed, according to a set of instructions hidden in a double helix and small enough to be carried by a sperm. You are recycled butterflies, plants, rocks, streams, firewood, wolf fur, and shark teeth, broken down to their smallest parts and rebuilt into our planet’s most complex living thing.
You are not living on Earth. You are Earth.”

Good Faith Estimate
You have the right to receive a “good faith estimate” (GFE) explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using their insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a GFE for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items of services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
You will receive a GFE in writing at least 1 business day before your session. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a GFE before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your GFE, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your GFE. For questions, or more information about your right to a GFE, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call Colorado Division of Insurance at 303.894.7490 or 1-800-930-3745
