I cater to children and adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress that are seeking a holistic, hands-on therapy approach. I provide a nurturing environment to connect with intuitive horses, aiming to build trust, emotional awareness, and personal growth through petting, grooming and leading the horses (minimal riding). Many people are seeking unique, experiential therapy that transcends traditional methods, fostering inner peace and resilience. We provide a compassionate sanctuary for healing, empowering individuals to overcome challenges and achieve lasting well-being through the transformative power of equine therapy.
By providing an outdoor natural environment and the company of two majestic (but slightly goofy) exracehorses, I can relate empathetically with clients and have an easygoing, down to earth temperament . Having worked as a teacher for many years, I connect easily with children and am knowledgeable in the fields of mental health and psychology.
If you feel like being out of a clinical often sterile office setting for your therapy, and want the simple company of loverly smelling horseys (who poop a lot! ) come visit to see what we are all about. Please note this is not a riding service as we emphasise connecting with horses through groundwork.
