Support Our Work
Your donation helps us provide trauma-informed healing with horses and dogs, while caring for our beloved animal partners. Thank you for your support! 💛
Equine Energy is a peaceful sanctuary where rescued horses, therapy dogs, and spiritual connection come together to help humans and animals heal. We serve veterans, trauma survivors, and people with disabilities through heart-centered equine-assisted experiences that restore joy, trust, and resilience.
What We Do
At Equine Energy, we provide trauma-informed, relationship-based equine experiences for veterans, children, and adults with physical, emotional, or neurological challenges.
We focus on:
Groundwork and gentle horse interaction
Observational healing with therapy dogs and rescued horses
Nature walks, grooming, and horse-led mindfulness sessions
These experiences are designed to rebuild trust, restore nervous system balance, and inspire joy — always led by our trained team and supported by our gentle herd.
Who We Serve
Who We Serve
At Equine Energy, we serve individuals navigating PTSD, TBI, grief, addiction recovery, and physical or emotional disabilities. Many are veterans, survivors, and people in recovery who find healing and empowerment through meaningful connections with horses and nature.
We also provide a safe haven for rescued equines and gentle dogs who become partners in this transformative work. Every session is tailored to support both human and animal well-being through intuitive, heart-centered care.
We are located in Kitsap County and proudly serve Bainbridge Island, Kingston, Poulsbo, Hansville, Silverdale, Bremerton, and surrounding Western Washington communities.
Meet Lucky
Meet Lucky
Lucky came to Equine Energy from Versailles, Kentucky. When his owner's dementia made it impossible to continue caring for the horses, the family made the difficult decision to rehome Lucky (Late Nite's What An Impact registered name) and his stable mates.
During the rehoming process, the stable helping with his placement didn't know what name he had been called before. Wanting him to have a special name for his new chapter, we asked our social media friends for suggestions.
We loved all the ideas, but after spending time with him, he simply became Lucky.
Around the sanctuary, we sometimes call him Sir Lucky, the Southern gentleman from Versailles, and we're grateful he found his way to Equine Energy.
Today, Lucky enjoys quiet days, gentle companionship, and a peaceful retirement at Equine Energy Sanctuary & Nonprofit.
Why It Matters
Why It Matters
Trauma and isolation can create invisible walls that are hard to break through with traditional approaches alone. Equine Energy offers a deeply restorative alternative—one where healing unfolds through connection, movement, and shared presence with horses and the land.
This work matters because it changes lives. We’ve witnessed nonverbal children speak, veterans release chronic anxiety, and rescue horses regain purpose and joy. These moments remind us that healing isn’t always clinical—it’s often relational, soulful, and profoundly real.
Current Goals
Current Goals
Equine Energy is currently exploring the development of a modest community wellness and support space in Kitsap County.
Our vision is to create a calm, accessible gathering place for equine-assisted wellness sessions, support meetings, educational workshops, quiet reflection, and restorative connection with animals and nature.
Future plans may include accessible restrooms, a small meeting space, wellness programming areas, and improved access and comfort for the people and animals we serve.
As a grassroots nonprofit, we are pursuing this vision thoughtfully and step-by-step through community partnerships, grants, and local support.
Community Impact
Community Impact
Equine Energy serves individuals and families throughout Kitsap County, including veterans, children, caregivers, and people navigating stress, isolation, trauma, or major life transitions.
Our work focuses on creating calm, connection, confidence, and emotional regulation through restorative interaction with horses, animals, movement and nature.
As we continue to grow, our goal is to expand access to safe, supportive wellness experiences for the wider community.
Meet Our Healing Herd
Meet Our Healing Herd
Each of our horses has a story—and a second chance. Rescued from neglect, abandonment, or burnout, these animals are now valued teachers, companions, and healers.
They mirror emotions with gentleness and invite trust without judgment. Whether it's a nuzzle from a curious mare or the steady gaze of a seasoned gelding, their presence grounds our clients in the moment and opens the door to deep transformation.
Our herd is lovingly supported by our Bernese Mountain Dogs, who provide calming energy and joyful companionship.
Our Approach
Our Approach
We believe healing happens through connection—not correction. At Equine Energy, we don’t diagnose or direct—we invite. Our sessions are quiet, grounded, and client-led, allowing individuals to move at their own pace, guided by the intuition of horses and the wisdom of nature.
We combine principles of trauma-informed care, somatic awareness, and the laws of attraction to create experiences that restore confidence, calm the nervous system, and spark joy. Our team listens with compassion and responds with presence—human, hoofed, and pawed.
Our Team
Our Team
Equine Energy was co-founded by Dr. Christina Sunday Wagner and her sister, Laura Hammerlund—two lifelong horsewomen and trauma survivors with a shared passion for healing. Christina is a retired doctor of chiropractic and acupuncture, and Laura is the widow of a U.S. Navy veteran and a former attorney. Together, they bring decades of lived experience and professional care to this work.
Our team also includes beloved volunteers, a small herd of therapy horses, and our gentle Bernese Mountain Dogs, who all play a vital role in creating a space of safety, joy, and unconditional support.
How Horses Help Humans Heal
At Equine Energy, we provide equine-guided connection and emotional restoration for individuals living with PTSD, TBI, trauma, or disability. Our herd of rescued and rehabilitated horses co-facilitates somatic, heart-centered experiences that build trust, presence, and nervous system regulation. Sessions often include groundwork, observation, and shared stillness with our horses — no riding required.
Our therapy dogs, often Bernese Mountain Dogs, enhance the sessions by offering grounding, comfort, and emotional companionship.
Our approach blends trauma-informed care, universal principles, and the natural rhythm of the herd to restore joy and dignity to those we serve.
Our Horses & Dogs Our beloved animals receive top-quality care with regular veterinary visits, farrier work, nutritious feed, and enrichment to keep them healthy and happy.
My novel, After Sunday, is available now on Amazon!
After Sunday is a heartfelt romance about Dr. Elle Sawyer and a love that helps mend old wounds. Set against the healing world of horses, it's a story of second chance, courage, and choosing joy.
