About Olive’s Branch Healing
Our Philosophy
Our name is a heartfelt tribute to Olive, our first horse, and a celebration of the timeless olive branch—an emblem of peace, renewal, and hope. Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the teachings and love of Jesus Christ, whose example inspires every aspect of our mission to nurture holistic healing and restoration.
At Olive’s Branch Healing, we offer equine assisted services designed to support personal growth and overall wellness. While we are not licensed therapists, our approach is centered on compassion, mindful practices, and the transformative power of Christ’s message of forgiveness, unity, and unconditional love.
Welcome to Olive’s Branch Healing—a sanctuary where the legacy of Olive and the enduring wisdom of Jesus Christ unite to inspire renewal, hope, and transformative growth in every healing moment.
Meet Our Founders
Olive’s Branch Healing was founded by Emmanuel Eshun and Destani Langford, two individuals with a deep love for Jesus Christ, a passion for horses, and a heart for serving others.
Destani Langford is the driving force behind Olive’ss Branch Healing, blending her extensive horsemanship skills with her unwavering faith. With years of experience in equine care, training, and instruction, she has a gift for helping people build confidence and connection with horses. More than just a skilled horsewoman, Destani sees her work as a ministry—creating a safe and welcoming space where healing, growth, and faith come together. Her love for Jesus Christ shines through in every session, as she leads with grace, patience, and a heart for serving others.
Emmanuel Eshun aka Manny brings his vision, leadership, and dedication to building a strong, faith-centered community. With a background in architecture and a heart for service, he works to expand Olive’s Branch Healing’s reach, ensuring that more people have access to the transformative power of horses.
Together, Destani and Emmanuel have created a place where people from all walks of life can experience healing, hope, and renewal. Whether you’re stepping into the barn for the first time or deepening your horsemanship journey, you’ll find a supportive, faith-filled community ready to walk alongside you.

Our Approach
At Olive’s Branch Healing, our approach is rooted in faith, compassion, and the transformative bond between humans and horses. Guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ, we create a safe and inclusive space where individuals and families can experience healing, growth, and connection.
Through hands-on equine experiences, we emphasize respect, trust, and communication and fostering confidence, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of these incredible animals. Whether through equine leasing, rescue sessions, or horsemanship programs, our goal is to equip participants with knowledge, skills, and a renewed sense of purpose.
We believe healing is a journey, not a destination. By combining biblical principles with practical horsemanship, we provide an environment where transformation happens naturally one step, one lesson, and one horse at a time.
