Eq​uine Therapy

Eq​uine 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.
