Our Mission
To heal the broken hearts of those in our care as we educate, guide and counsel; sharing our life experience, our strength, and our hope.
Our Purpose
The purpose of House of Healing is to provide Christ-centered mentoring and a safe environment where young people can experience unconditional love, acceptance, growth in their social intelligence and confidence, and work toward restoration of broken relationships.

Our Horses
Horses are integral and equal partners in the equine assisted services that we offer through Equine Experience. They are herd and prey animals, which means that they have a strong perception of social intelligence, emotional sense and they use these senses as a means of survival. These loving and calm animals never hide their emotions and help young people to learn to identify and handle their own emotions. Besides all that, horses are majestic animals that are wonderful and bring us joy simply to be with!
Our Chapel
Nestled in the heart of the House of Healing property is the outdoor chapel symbolizing how God is at the center of everything we do. For young people who have experienced a difficult past, they must first find emotional and spiritual healing to find freedom. We believe healing, hope, and restoration is found at the foot of the cross.

Our Passion
There is nothing more beautiful than a young person whose life is centered in faith and finds their identity in our Savior, Jesus Christ. Our passion is to guide young people towards the safety of their faith.
Meet Our Founders
“Our programs are designed to help families bond close together whether they are already on the right path, or need support to get back on track.
At the core of our mission is to provide teenagers with a positive experience through our mentoring and equine programs to instill in them the right values to make positive life choices.” ~Kathy Boeckman
Kathy and Eugene Boeckman
founded House of Healing in 2007 from a passion to strengthen families and to invest in the lives of teenage girls. They retired in December 2022 after 16 years of faithful service.
“We have seen so much growth in our programs, thanks to the support from our donors and volunteers.
I am excited about our future and the many more families whose lives will be touched by House of Healing. We now have girls who were teenagers a few years ago come back to serve and mentor others.” ~Eugene Boeckman

Let’s Talk
Does your teenage child need encouragement to stay on the right path? Is he/she starting to feel the influence from peers to make decisions they would normally not make? Could they use some guidance on their spiritual walk? Need the benefit from time spent outdoors in healthy activities? Enroll your teenager in our sessions to help them find the tools they need for better life choices.
