Equine Empowered Healing
Improving the lives of individuals with physical, mental, and emotional challenges through Equine Assisted Therapy
Our approach
I am a professional counsellor and an accomplished horsewoman with over 20 years of experience in the counselling field. Equine Assisted Therapy is a holistic therapeutic approach that harnesses the unique bond between humans and horses to promote emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. This is not a riding therapy; all work with the horses is on the ground, either grooming, observing, and/or engaging in various structured exercises with the horses.
Providing you with a
therapeutic space
to renew and flourish
All your appointments will take place in our stable and arena area, providing you with a safe and secure environment in which to participate in therapy.
