Equine Therapy
Equine Therapy
Horses are magnificent creatures that embody sensitivity and relational depth. They thrive on connection and mirror our inner states without judgment or interpretation. Interacting with them through carefully designed exercises can help us reclaim our connection with ourselves while simultaneously connecting with another.
Their silent wisdom invites us to explore new pathways for settling and grounding our bodies and minds. Although no riding is involved with the therapy, an Equine-Assisted session uses techniques to help guests become comfortable, make contact, and improve their communication skills and confidence. Caring for a horse can help instil a sense of routine and responsibility. Learn about each horse's personality; the early equine therapy sessions generally focus on building a trust-based relationship with the therapist's horse (or horses).
The sessions are open to diversity, and activities with the horses are developed specifically for each person.
For people wanting support with experiences of trauma (including PTSD and childhood trauma), you will have a quiet, safe and respectful environment to gently explore the impact this has had on your life and then develop skills to work through and resolve it. The conversation feels gentler and more natural because you will simultaneously play (and learn) with your equine friends.

Denise saved my life. When I was at the lowest point in my life she helped me heal my trauma and as a result my life has changed beyond measure. She is kind, loving and excellent in her profession. I recommend her to everyone looking for therapy, life coaching or relationship counselling.
