Hi, We are jon & katie celaya.
Katie graduated from Utah State University with a Masters in Psychology (School Counseling) and worked in that field for eleven years. Before Cedar Haven Ranch was established, she was the program director of Courage Reins Equine-Assisted Therapies in Highland, Utah. Since then, she has connected her vocation with her love of horses and has found her true passion. Horses have an innate ability to meet you where you are, they will encourage and reinforce your strengths and challenge you to change. The horse’s way of being can touch our hearts where few others can go, and she feels privileged to get to share that with others here at Cedar Haven Ranch.

EAGALA
Equine Assisted Growth & Learning
This certification is the global leader for Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Equine Assisted personal development. The EAGALA method is so effective because it is based on hands-on action with the client and horse. Clients are given the space to analyze situations, make connections, and problem solve in the moment. The program is a team approach that includes a licensed, credentialed Mental Health Professional, a qualified Equine Specialist, and horses working together with the client in an arena at all times.
