Rob & Kaleigh's Unique Therapy Partnership
In this unique therapy partnership, Kaleigh provides the group therapy and Rob provides the equine healing - each working together to ally and grow people and horses in their healing journeys. Rob, our horse healing expert has spent the last 4 decades working with horses that were traumatized and living with different symptoms. Some are unable to be handled by people and some developed unhealthy coping mechanisms for stressful life events. We know the same for humans – sometimes we ourselves develop unhelpful coping mechanisms for painful life experiences leaving us stressed out, angry, sad, and alone. Kaleigh, our people healing expert, has spent the last 10 years dedicated to healing traumatic stress. Both Rob and Kaleigh have walked a personal path of healing from debilitating PTSD and anxiety.

About Kaleigh
Shine His Light LLC Founder & Rite of Passage Therapist
Kaleigh is a nationally certified trauma therapist, holds her independent license, is a AZBBHE certified supervisor of associate level therapists, and obtained two master's degrees from ASU (MSW and MPA).
She is a builder and healer – spearheading the creation of supportive spaces for people to heal, grow, and shine like the incredible people they are (yes that’s you too!). Kaleigh is strong and wise, yet it is her heart that offers sacred space where people can truly be seen and heard.
She certainly lives life with a big smile, humor, compassion, and a fire to serve. Kaleigh herself has walked through the fire of life’s trauma. She's been on the other side of healing and as healer. She knows what’s it like to be wracked with anxiety, PTSD, and insecurity, uncertain of her own unique gifts and talents. That’s why Kaleigh has allied with Rite of Passage and created Shine His Light LLC, a place dedicated to offer emotional freedom, healing, and self-discovery connecting people to a broader community of support.
People here learn to break free from trauma bonds and show up in leadership in their own lives, all while growing their faith and building with the gifts God gave them. Using the 10+ years of professional experience, and 30+ years of personal experience, she developed Shine His Light to be a place for the lost and hurting. In her spare time, Kaleigh loves nature and enjoys all of the Arizona seasons.
You can find her hiking, biking, kayaking, paddle boarding, skating, and being close with God. She is a part of her church community, Bible study, family support system, as well as professional and personal friendships along with a dedication to rescuing feral cats. Kaleigh is a West Virginia native where her roots go back generations. Arizona has been her home for the last 25+ years and her appreciation for the beauty of the desert continues to grow.
