Welcome Friends!
I’m so humbled you’re Here!
In 2018, we bought 40 acres in rural Michigan to begin a new adventure—building our dream farm. But just as we were about to break ground, my life was suddenly upended by a “mysterious” illness. What followed was a brutal four-year battle with Late Stage Lyme Disease.
While I was fighting for my health, my husband Blake continued building around the farm, faithfully pressing on with the vision we believed in.
At first, I thought Our Healing Farm was simply about sharing my health journey alongside our build. But God had far greater plans. What began as a personal testimony has grown into a Holy Spirit-led Horse Ministry.
At Our Healing Farm, we are not therapists, and we do not seek to re-traumatize anyone. Instead, we create a safe, Spirit-filled space where the Holy Spirit meets each individual in His perfect timing. The horses are tools we, as facilitators, use to lead exercises that help clients experience healing, freedom, and breakthrough—led entirely by God’s presence and purpose.
Our ministry is open from mid-May through the end of September.
“O Lord, if you heal me, I will be truly healed; if you save me, I will be truly saved. My praises are for you alone!”
Jeremiah 17: 14
Hello, I’m Melissa…
Maybe you ended up here because you’re dealing with a chronic illness and just need a little encouragement. If that’s the case—believe me, I get it. Chronic illness is tough and complicated, and you’re not alone.
Or maybe you heard about our Faith-Based Equine Ministry and wanted to check it out—horses, healing, and faith all in one place!
Maybe you just love rustic style, antique farm vibes, or are curious about what’s going on around the farm.
Whatever brought you here, I’m so glad you came. I hope this space feels uplifting, healing, and helpful in whatever way you need it to be.
