Equine Therapy ~ Healing with Soo
“It’s not what’s wrong with you, it’s what happened TO you”
Transformation – through horses
Step into a new way of being with the support of our kind and intuitive horses. Equine therapy helps you uncover and resolve patterns and emotions that no longer serve you. In the quiet, grounded presence of the herd, you’ll find the courage and clarity to embrace your authentic self.
The benefits of equine therapy are felt deeply—on both a physical and emotional level. It’s a gentle yet powerful approach that supports emotional regulation, builds self-confidence, and fosters inner peace. Clients leave sessions feeling more connected, calm and capable of navigating life with newfound ease.
Our sessions are open to individuals of all ages and walks of life, and they’re particularly helpful for those seeking emotional balance, recovery from life’s challenges, or simply a moment of stillness in a busy world. If you’re ready to find change, we’re ready for you!
It’s time to find clarity … to reconnect with yourself in a non-judgemental, supportive space.

“I’m passionate about helping you find your authentic self, live without stress, anxiety, fears and doubts.
Equine Assisted Therapy is a powerful and beautiful way to support your wellbeing.”
Soo Woods

Why Horses and Nature?
Nature is a healer with research showing what common sense knows! Spending time in nature can lower cortisol levels (a stress hormone), boost the immune system, and improve mental clarity by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for relaxation and restoration.
We have an innate connection to nature – we evolved in nature – it is where our nervous system feels safe. The natural world promotes our healing and well-being.
Horses are profound teachers. They live in the moment, attuned to their surroundings and the emotions of those around them. Spending time with these remarkable animals in our beautiful sanctuary creates a unique opportunity for self-reflection and transformation.
Whether you’re seeking balance, clarity, or connection, equine therapy offers a pathway to feeling lighter, more positive, and deeply empowered.
HOW OUR APPROACH HELPS
You may – or may not – have some understanding of how past traumatic life experiences have shaped who you have become. You may not even know you’ve experienced trauma. As a trauma trained Somatic Practitioner, Soo both educates and supports you in exploring your habitual patterns and beliefs, and helps you release what you’re ready to let go of.
Through their physical size and large resonate surfaces, horses can co-regulate our nervous systems. They offer us the feeling of safety, of non-judgement and unconditional love. These aspects help us go within to find what we need to heal.
Clients describe feeling an immediate sense of relief and peace, as though a weight has been lifted. There is also the cumulative effect that comes with regular sessions. These experiences work by addressing the root causes of whatever is causing you stress, thus creating lasting shifts that ripple through all aspects of your daily life.

I Understand!
As a child I felt misunderstood and lonely, and turned to nature and animals for connection and safety. Through a large part of adulthood I’ve spent many years feeling drained from living in a spiral of stress, really not liking myself very much and using repetitive coping behaviours and addictions to get through.
I had heard about trauma, and trapped emotions … but had no idea how I could be impacted from seemingly trivial events in my earlier life (and some bigger ones too!)
I’ve spent the past decade + immersing myself in the teachings around trauma and emotions, and in the field of holistic healing and alternative therapies. Knowing what I know now, my purpose is to help others understand what has impacted them through life, and to help them feel better.
Having experienced the benefits of equine therapy and alternative therapies personally, and having a keen interest in wellbeing, it has been a natural step for me into the world of equine assisted therapy and holistic healing.
