7 Years In The Making

Introducing MindBody Healing Center At Solace Farms

written by Founding President, Andrea Hilborn

In 2019, I was given the insight that I was to build a place where people could come together to heal and support one another. It would be in an old Victorian house, and most importantly, it would be a nonprofit.

 This made sense to me. I have lived much of my life with chronic pain, endured my share of loss, and struggled with a scarcity mindset, so I understood firsthand how hard it can be to find help in the traditional sense. Doctors wanted to manage my pain with medication. Therapists were helpful to a point, but paying out of pocket limited how much care I could receive. Insurance only covered so much.

It wasn't until I found holistic care outside of my insurance plan that I began to feel my life come back online. I justified $150 treatments because my body and my mind felt better because of them. That experience is the reason I became a licensed massage therapist. I saw how much my life changed when pain was no longer such a factor, and I knew that what I was called to build had to make this kind of care accessible to people who might otherwise go without it.

Seven years and many lessons later, MindBody Healing Center at Solace Farms, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is born.

I'll be honest, I thought it would happen instantly. I had no idea what lay ahead as Solace Farms Day Retreat paved the way for what is now being born. Maybe that was for the best. Had I known how bumpy the road would be, I'm not sure I would have had what it took to bring this to light. That may be my biggest lesson of all: perseverance, sprinkled with a heck of a lot of trust.

Today, that vision is becoming a reality. MindBody Healing Center at Solace Farms is a place where people can find support beyond the limitations of traditional care and discover additional ways to heal emotionally, physically, and spiritually. We aren't here to replace traditional care. We are here to help fill the spaces it doesn't always reach.

There is still so much to build, and we can't do it alone. As you read on, you'll see some of the ways you can become part of what we're creating, whether by joining us at an upcoming event, volunteering your time, or helping us make care accessible to someone who otherwise couldn't afford it.

Seven years later, the old Victorian house is here, the nonprofit is here, and the doors are open.

Welcome to MindBody Healing Center at Solace Farms where we believe Every Body Deserves To Heal.

What You Can Expect

At MindBody Healing Center at Solace Farms, you’ll find a growing community of facilitators offering support beyond traditional care. From holistic and spiritual healing to workshops, support groups, and personalized experiences, our goal is to help you find the tools that feel right for where you are in your journey. There is no one way to heal, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Join Our Team

Volunteers Needed

We are looking for volunteers who would like to lend their time and talents as we continue to grow. There are opportunities to help with events, community outreach, administrative needs, fundraising, and more. Whether you have a specific skill to share or simply some time to give, we would love to hear from you.

How You Can Support Our Cause

For many people, the care that could make a meaningful difference in their lives is simply out of reach financially. Your donation helps us change that. Funds raised will help provide scholarships and sliding-scale services for those who cannot afford care on their own, while also supporting programs and support groups that can be offered at little or no cost. No contribution is too small. Each gift helps open the door for someone who may otherwise have nowhere else to turn.

Are You In Need of Our Services

We know that no two people struggle in the exactly the same way, so it doesn't make sense to expect everyone to heal the same way either.  There is no cookie-cutter approach to healing.  Our goal is to meet you where you are, listen to what you need, and help you explore the support and tools that may work for you.  Whether you are going through a difficult season or simply know that something needs to change, you do not have to figure it out before reaching out. We believe that old way of looking at healing is no longer enough. Sometimes you need something alongside traditional care and sometimes you simply need a different approach. Healing is personal. All you need to do is take the first step and reach out.  

Heal Together

There is something powerful about healing in the company of others. Our group healing sessions give you an opportunity to step away from everyday life, experience different healing practices, and connect with people who may be on a journey of their own. You can come exactly as you are. Sometimes simply being together, sharing space, and knowing you aren’t alone can be an important part of healing.
