Equine Assisted Learning Session 

1.5 hours $190 / 2 hours $230

This session is designed to support you through whatever you are navigating or working through in your life.  The horses are free to move about as a herd.  There is ample opportunity to spend time with them.  When you work with horses you can't help but be your authentic self. You become embodied, congruent and totally present.

 

I'll facilitate the structure of the session and tailor it to suit you and why you've come.  This could be anything from anxiety, depression, grief to just spending some time with these remarkable creatures and getting back to feeling like you again.  The horses have shared in their chanelling that they can access all dimensions and bring back what the person in front of them needs.  I love that sentence so much, and I see it play out time and time again.

 

During a session the horses may be haltered for you to work with one on one,  groomed or enjoy a shared experience such as a walk or a quiet healing interval.  There are many of those! We just work with what unfolds during the session. Staying open to what the horses guide us towards.

Equine Assisted Learning & Healing Session

2 hours $230

This session incorporates many of the same principles highlighted above, however, after the time spent with the horses, you'll move onto a massage table in the paddock area (weather dependent to the warmer months, in the cooler months we retreat to the heated caravan for the body work component).

There is something very magical lying on table under the trees, horses grazing around you and allowing you to deeply connect with nature all around.  I work on your body using reflexology on the feet and energy balancing techniques that are useful in supporting the physical body coming back into balance.  As we are doing this, the horses may come and interact with us or stay further away. They are not tethered or enticed with food, it is totally up to them what they do.  We take notice of their body language and can gauge when they are assisting us, as their cues are quite obvious to spot.  They lick and chew, yawn, and go into a trance-like state when deep energetic work is occurring. It is very special. Of course, we are in dialogue with your comfort and safety levels throughout the whole experience

Being with such magnificent animals with the most impeccable ability for stillness is incredible.  When the herd are in that zone together, some powerful potent energy healing work is occurring. I call this the energetic gold of our work. Typically, as we drop down more into stillness they do so as well.

They often help you release at a deeper level. What I know from this work is, they assist you in releasing what you no longer want to carry. They open hearts and bring clarity to what you want in your life.  This is a potent healing experience that will leave you connected with yourself, your dreams and possibilities but equally grounded in the here and now.  Miracles are a common occurences that keep me in awe of this thing we call life and the rich interconnectedness that can occur between all beings.
