Withers and Wellness At Withers and Wellness, we blend equine-assisted coaching with mindfulness and holistic wellness to support personal growth, healing, and connection. Based at the scenic Merkel Farm in Bowie, Maryland, we offer transformative experiences for individuals, families, teams, and specialized groups—locally and on the road.
With certifications in trauma-informed coaching, equine-assisted services, and the Masterson Method®, our team is dedicated to creating safe, supportive spaces where humans and horses come together for meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're looking to reduce stress, strengthen relationships, build resilience, or reconnect with yourself, our programs offer powerful opportunities to pause, reflect, and move forward with intention. We offer specialized programs for veterans, active-duty service members, and first responders, with experiences designed to foster emotional regulation, clarity, and connection in a judgment-free environment. We also travel to partner facilities and organizations to bring these services to those who need them most.
