Healing at Red Bird Cottage & Farm

A Sanctuary for Healing, Movement, and Connection

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, Kristen is honored to offer select in-person services at Red Bird Cottage & Farm, a peaceful setting where open skies, water, greenery, and the gentle presence of animals create space to slow down and reconnect.

The farm offers an alternative to traditional office and studio environments. Whether you are attending a clinical therapy session, participating in personalized yoga instruction, or joining an outdoor group class, the natural setting invites you to pause, breathe, and become more present.

Services offered at Red Bird Cottage & Farm include licensed clinical therapy, private yoga instruction, outdoor yoga classes, and occasional groups or special experiences.

Personalized Yoga & Embodiment

Private One-on-One Yoga Instruction

Personalized Yoga & Embodiment offers an individualized approach to yoga, movement, breath, mindfulness, and embodied awareness.

Unlike a traditional group class, each session is shaped around your experience level, preferences, comfort, physical considerations, and personal intentions. You do not need to be flexible, athletic, or experienced in yoga to participate.

Sessions may include:

  • Gentle and intentional movement
  • Accessible yoga postures and modifications
  • Breath awareness and pranayama
  • Mindfulness and grounding practices
  • Somatic and embodied self-awareness
  • Gentle strengthening and mobility
  • Guided relaxation
  • Yoga philosophy and reflective practices
  • Support in developing a personal home practice

Kristen uses a trauma-informed teaching approach that emphasizes personal choice, predictability, agency, and respect for individual boundaries. Participants are always welcome to modify a movement, rest, decline a practice, or change direction.

The goal is not to perform a pose perfectly or push beyond your limits. It is to explore movement with curiosity, awareness, and compassion for your body.

Initial Personal Yoga Consultation

60 Minutes — $150

Before beginning private yoga sessions, you will meet with Kristen to discuss your goals, preferences, prior experience, and any considerations relevant to your yoga practice.

This consultation may include:

  • Your experience with yoga or movement
  • What you hope to receive from private sessions
  • Your preferred pace and level of challenge
  • Physical limitations or recommendations from healthcare providers
  • Practices you enjoy or would prefer to avoid
  • Your interest in movement, breathwork, mindfulness, relaxation, or yoga philosophy
  • Your intentions for developing a personal practice

This consultation is not a medical, psychological, or diagnostic assessment. Kristen does not diagnose injuries, evaluate medical conditions, or create clinical treatment plans through this yoga service.

Ongoing Personalized Yoga Sessions

60 Minutes — $95

Each private session is thoughtfully prepared around your intentions and may evolve as your comfort, interests, and personal practice develop.

No two sessions need to be exactly alike. One session may focus on gentle mobility and breath, another on strength and stability, and another on grounding, relaxation, or yoga philosophy.

Personalized Yoga & Embodiment is offered as yoga instruction and a wellness service. It is not yoga therapy, physical rehabilitation, psychotherapy, or medical treatment.

Sunrise & Sunset Yoga on the Farm

Join us for outdoor yoga surrounded by the beauty and stillness of the farm.

Classes are held on the property overlooking the lake, greenery, and stables, offering an opportunity to move, breathe, and reconnect with yourself in nature.

These classes emphasize:

  • Mindful movement
  • Breath awareness
  • Gentle strength
  • Mobility and balance
  • Grounding and relaxation
  • Body awareness
  • Connection with natural rhythms

The focus is not performance or intensity. Participants are encouraged to move at their own pace and honor their individual bodies.

In-Person Therapy on the Farm

Kristen offers licensed clinical therapy at Red Bird Cottage & Farm under her Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential.

Farm-based therapy provides an opportunity to step outside a traditional office setting and engage in clinical work within a peaceful, natural environment. Depending on the individual’s needs, comfort, treatment goals, and privacy considerations, sessions may take place in a private indoor space or in an appropriate outdoor area on the property.

The natural setting may help some individuals feel more comfortable, present, and open to reflection. However, farm-based therapy remains a professional clinical service and follows the same ethical, privacy, documentation, assessment, and treatment standards as therapy provided in a traditional setting.

Individual Therapy

60 Minutes — $150

Individual therapy offers a private space to address emotional distress, mental health concerns, grief, trauma, relationships, life transitions, identity, stress, and other personal challenges.

Sessions may include traditional talk therapy, mindfulness, grounding, reflective practices, or nature-based elements when clinically appropriate and agreed upon in advance.

A clinical intake and informed-consent process are required before beginning services.

Couples Therapy

90 Minutes — $250

Couples therapy provides an extended session format so both partners have adequate time to speak, reflect, and participate in the therapeutic process.

Sessions may focus on:

  • Recurring conflict patterns
  • Communication difficulties
  • Emotional disconnection
  • Trust and intimacy
  • Relationship transitions
  • Family or role changes
  • Boundaries and expectations
  • Accountability and shared responsibility
  • Decisions about the future of the relationship

Couples therapy may incorporate seated dialogue, mindful awareness, gentle movement, or nature-based reflection when clinically appropriate.

Couples therapy is provided by Kristen as a licensed clinical service. It is separate from Sacred Partnership for Couples, the non-clinical two-on-two offering facilitated by Kristen and Jonte through Simply Sunshine Co.

Group Therapy and Small-Group Services

Clinical groups and small-group therapy experiences may be offered periodically based on interest, need, and availability.

Groups may focus on areas such as:

  • Grief and loss
  • Stress management
  • Emotional awareness
  • Life transitions
  • Relationship patterns
  • Mindfulness
  • Trauma-informed support
  • Personal growth and connection

Group formats, eligibility requirements, rates, and schedules will vary by offering.

Nature-Based and Experiential Therapy

When clinically appropriate, certain therapy sessions may include nature-based or experiential elements.

Possible options may include:

  • Outdoor walk-and-talk therapy
  • Seated therapy near the lake or natural areas
  • Mindful observation and grounding practices
  • Gentle movement incorporated into the clinical session
  • Structured interaction with animals when appropriately supported
  • Reflective activities within the farm environment

Any experiential component will be discussed in advance and included only when it aligns with the client’s treatment goals, comfort, physical ability, privacy needs, and informed consent.

Miniature Horse–Supported Experiences

Certain sessions may include walking near, observing, brushing, or calmly interacting with miniature horses as part of a broader therapeutic experience.

These activities are not represented as equine-assisted psychotherapy unless they are provided within the requirements of a recognized equine-assisted treatment model and with all appropriately trained professionals present.

Animal interaction is optional and will only be incorporated when it is safe, appropriate, and mutually agreed upon.

Future Groups and Special Offerings

Red Bird Cottage & Farm creates opportunities for meaningful community experiences, seasonal programming, and creative collaboration.

Future offerings may include:

  • Therapy groups
  • Seasonal workshops
  • Women’s circles
  • Mindfulness experiences
  • Yoga and movement workshops
  • Reflective retreats
  • Stress-management programs
  • Personal-growth gatherings
  • Community wellness events

Some future offerings may be clinical, while others may be educational, spiritual, creative, or wellness-based. Each event will clearly identify the nature of the service, who is facilitating it, and whether it is offered under a professional license.

Details will be shared as programs are developed.

Combining Services

Individuals may choose to participate in more than one offering at Red Bird Cottage & Farm, such as attending licensed therapy while also joining a separate yoga class or private yoga session.

Clinical therapy and yoga instruction remain separate services, even when they are offered by the same provider. Each service has its own purpose, boundaries, documentation requirements, fees, and informed-consent process.

Participation in yoga is never required as part of therapy, and therapy clients are not expected to purchase additional wellness services.

Package pricing or multi-session options may occasionally be available for non-clinical yoga and wellness services. Clinical therapy fees and arrangements will be discussed separately and will follow the policies applicable to licensed services.

Important Service Distinctions

Licensed therapy services at Red Bird Cottage & Farm are provided by Kristen Janica under her Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and constitute clinical mental health services.

Personalized Yoga & Embodiment, outdoor yoga classes, workshops, and other wellness offerings are separate non-clinical services. They do not constitute psychotherapy, clinical social work, medical care, physical rehabilitation, or yoga therapy.

Yoga participants should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare provider before participating if they have an injury, medical condition, are pregnant, have recently had surgery, or have concerns about their ability to practice safely.
