John Paganetti
"Our bodies are miraculous machines and they’re also silly, weird, and full of surprises. We have learned so much about the human body, from centuries of tradition to cutting-edge modern science, and there is still so much we do not understand. Rather than filling in the unknown with my personal answer to life, the universe, and everything, I want to learn about what’s holding you back. I don’t have all the answers, but I do have a keen ability to listen deeply to your needs, so lets see how massage can help you!

Colleen Campbell
Colleen Campbell has had a life long passion for animals, especially horses and dogs. She began asking for a horse when she was 2 years old and has been working with horses and dogs ever since. Colleen has a degree in Equine Studies from UMASS Amherst Stockbridge and is also a certified dog trainer with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC). While in college she met her mentor, Joe Delano, who helped set her on the path of listening to what our animals are telling us through non verbal languages and understanding how we affect our animals. His simple statement, “It’s not the horse, it’s you” changed the way she rode and trained and later it became a mantra for other areas of her life.
In 2015 she founded Heroes, Horses and Hounds after years of experiencing the benefits she and her students were getting from being around the horses and dogs in a more mindful way. She developed programs like Horsemanship Yoga, Mirrors and Paws for Joy. Horsemanship Yoga helped people become more aware of their bodies, breath and connections with their horses, allowing them to form more understanding partnerships and better riding experiences. Mirrors and Paws for Joy are therapeutic programs that help people heal from trauma, grief and depression with the help of horses and dogs. In 2019 Cris Carl, LDAC-1 therapist, joined with Colleen Campbell to help facilitate Mirrors and Paws for Joy. Our programs have evolved to combine healing from nature, animals, somatic exercises and neuroscience, giving each student a well rounded healing experience that they can feel and understand. We believe the more someone learns about how their brain, body and mind respond to trauma and how they heal from it allows people to release the shame they may feel about what they are going through. This helps remove the stigmas around mental health which clears the path for integrating survival skills they have developed into skills that will enhance their future and personal empowerment. We also believe that the animals in our lives are our greatest teachers, continually giving us opportunities to connect, be more aware and experience joy every day. We are so grateful to be able to share the gifts we have received from the animals in our lives with others.
