The Healing Power Of Horses
Equine Therapy | Reiki with the herd | Retreats | Accommodation
We invite you ...
… to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and emotional healing with our horses, where their gentle guidance and the restorative power of Reiki work in harmony to unveil your true potential.
Immerse yourself in our holistic approach, designed to nurture your inner strengths and empower you to live a life aligned with your authentic self.
Horses, with their gentle strength and intuitive grace, offer a therapeutic alliance that transcends spoken words. In the quiet presence of a horse, healing becomes a silent conversation between two souls, a journey towards inner peace guided by the wisdom of a gentle spirit.
Healing with horses Australia
With their magnetic beauty and large physical size, horses have attracted mankind for centuries. They are predominately prey animals which means their senses are extremely developed, and they are acutely aware of their environment. They have incredible hearing, and can hear our heart beat from just over a metre away. A herd will synchronise their heartbeats to each other to help them sense danger more quickly. They live in the moment and as such are perfect teachers of mindfulness, trust, respect and compassion.
Horses are innately kind and loving and want to help us heal. They offer us non-judgemental, unconditional love and support, and they will voluntarily offer us energy healing. Horses encourage us to develop calmness, self-awareness and connection.
They react to the slightest changes in their environment – which includes us! There’s no hiding from them! They read things about us we may be unaware of, and respond to our body language and energy with immediate, non-judgemental responses. Through their reactions, we can learn about ourselves and shift how we show up in the world.
Engaging with the healing power of horses can be tremendously potent and deeply transformational. We can heal childhood traumas, trapped emotions, and find resolution to life’s stressors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why horses? What do they offer in therapy that’s unique?
Their large guts and hearts are able to co-regulate our nervous systems and, as natural-born Reiki Masters, they are also able to offer energy healing.
Clinical research has shown that being in close proximity to horses changes human brain wave patterns and heart rate! It is also known that triggering the release of oxytocin, the trust hormone, can help induce feelings of optimism, increase self-esteem, and potentially also help people with mood disorders and PTSD. Plus, horses teach mutual respect, trust, and emotional intelligence, creating an environment for rapid self-learning.
Why would I want to join an outdoor group workshop?
Recent studies have consistently highlighted the therapeutic benefits of spending time in natural settings. Engaging with others in outdoor group activities doesn’t just offer a break from your busy lives; it actually promotes the release of beneficial endorphins and neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. These natural compounds play a crucial role in deepening our self-awareness, strengthening group bonds, and nurturing personal development.
We also know of the importance of coherence ~ a state where our nervous system is regulated, stable, and flexible. Numerous independent studies have shown that achieving a calmer, more coherent state fosters emotional stability and enhances cognitive functions. Experiences in nature support the development of coherence.
I've heard about wellness retreats, but I'm sceptical. Why should I give it a go?
It’s totally okay to feel that way. Our wellness retreats in Moss Vale, New South Wales aren’t just about “feeling good” for a few days (although that’s a bonus). They’re designed to create lasting positive change by providing you with tools that will last a lifetime.
We blend the raw beauty of nature, the transformative power of equine therapy, alternative therapies, and a community of like-minded individuals seeking growth and clarity.
It’s not just a retreat. It’s a reset.
Is this retreat supposed to replace my regular visits to the doctor or therapist?
Nope, not at all. Think of our retreats and equine therapy sessions as a complement to any medical or therapeutic advice you’re currently following. Our retreats and equine therapy sessions offer a fresh, holistic perspective on well-being, but always keep your medical specialist in the loop.
While Soo is a registered, qualified counsellor and trauma-trained somatic practitioner, she is not a medical specialist and does not diagnose, categorise, judge, advise, assess, or fix.
