National Veterans Wellness and Healing Center

Established in 2009, the National Veterans Wellness and Healing Center was designed to assist with the healing of our Nations Veterans and their partners who are struggling with Post Traumatic Stress, Military Sexual Trauma, and Moral Wounding.

The natural setting of northeastern New Mexico is the perfect location to bring participants to experience optimal healing. The Veterans and their partners will encounter a week of comradery with their brothers and sisters, as well as a staff of extraordinary therapists and alternative therapy practitioners.

If you have experienced severe trauma or a life-threatening event, you may develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress, commonly known as post-traumatic stress disorder, shell shock, or combat stress. Maybe you felt like your life or the lives of others were in danger, or that you had no control over what was happening. Some of the most common symptoms of PTS include recurring memories or nightmares of the event(s), sleeplessness, loss of interest, or feeling numb, anger, and irritability, but there are many ways PTS can impact your everyday life. Sometimes these symptoms don’t surface for months or years after the event or returning from deployment. They may also come and go.

Aside from the educational and clinical approaches used to help the veterans and their partners, complementary alternative medicine such as Massage Therapy, Acupuncture, Chiropractic Care, Yoga, Tai Chi, Nutrition, Qi-ssage, Reiki, Art Therapy, and Horseback Riding. The modalities offer give the participants a chance to decide what works best for them on their healing journey.
