Transitions is a beautiful little equine facility nestled among fields of beans and corn just outside of Tavistock, ON. Our small team of professionals specialize in equine assisted learning and wellness and provide a variety of unique experiences consisting of team building and leadership programs, Reiki, mindfulness programs, mindset coaching, therapy, and more. Not only will you find a variety of facilitated activities, you can also join us on a Farm Pass to simply come and enjoy some fresh country air, have a blind date with a book, interact with the horses, do some light shopping from our local artisans, and grab a coffee or tea to enjoy in our lounge or by one of the fire features.
Equine Assisted Wellness and Learning involves using horses to promote emotional, mental and physical well-being. It’s not about riding or horsemanship, but rather focuses on participants working through a series of objective based obstacles designed to help develop their confidence, create or sharpen their leadership skills, and foster empathy and empowerment. The curriculum is client centered, using horses as barometers and facilitators as guides to encourage self examination.

Alisha Wilson
Founder ~ Certified Equine Facilitator ~ Reiki II Practitioner
Growing up with horses, Alisha has the personal experience of how profound and meaningful a connection with one of these amazingly wonderful animals can be, and will personally attest to the fact that they not only helped shape who she is today, but have saved her life. Through personal struggles with self-image, self-confidence and addiction, horses were always her safe space due to their non-judgmental and genuinely empathetic nature. From personal horses on the home farm, to horses at the ranch where she worked as a teen in Florida, and now horses she owns and has owned as an adult, she can name every one of them and tell you what type of life lesson she learned from them.
In 2020, after several years in leadership in the corporate world, Alisha was graced with the rare opportunity to pursue her passions AND have a genuinely positive impact on others. She decided to take the plunge and start her equine assisted learning (EAL) journey with Dreamwinds/ Cartier Farms, and that’s when Transitions was officially born. Her lifelong passion became her career, and by understanding the horse human parallels, she is able to provide valuable and important feedback from the horse, for the betterment of yourself, and helps facilitate those ever important “AH HA” moments, which are imperative to unlocking your potential and removing any self-imposed road blocks.
In addition to EAL, Alisha holds certifications in ASIST and SafeTalk, and is a Reiki II practitioner with an active membership in the Canadian Reiki Association. She is happily married, and has 2 wonderful kids who also play active roles in the day to day operation of Transitions.
“With this program, my passion for horses is beautifully combined with my passion for helping others, and my broken old rescue horses have renewed purpose. That means here, everybody wins”
