Sessions are ground-based, and unfold gradually, always guided by your subconscious’ knowing of what you are ready for.

We begin by slowing down. There is no expectation to perform. No pressure to ‘get it right’.

You are guided through a short, simple breath and mindful practice to help you land in the present moment.

Usually we stand, but we can sit – on a chair, on the ground.

The horses choose whether, and how, they engage.

Often very little appears to happen on the outside, while something profound shifts interally.

One or more horses might stand close. Others might keep their distance. Both are information, not a wrong answer.

What emerges is held with spaciousness, attuned presence, respect, and consent — yours, and the horse’s.

Sometimes a horse will quietly walk over and stand beside someone who’s carrying enormous grief.

Sometimes the herd mirror our restlessness, the conflicting voices in our head.

Sometimes they’ll move away when we’re disconnected from ourselves.

Sometimes they role play different parts of us, or our family, or work colleagues.

Nothing is forced, the horses are always at liberty (free to move, leave).

And they are definitely not trained for this.

The horses simply respond, as horses naturally do, to the energy of our thoughts, words and feelings.

And that’s where the real gold lies.

Many people who come here have already done ‘the work’

They’ve read the books, been to counselling, they understand why they think the way they do

Yet their body still braces, they still anticipate threat, they still apologise too much, still struggle to say no

And still feel disconnected from themselves

Our nervous system learns through experience, and no amount of cognitive understanding can teach it or help it shift.

Somatic sessions gently help create new experiences of safety that the body can actually feel

You don’t need a diagnosis to be here.

You don’t need to know what you’re looking for.

Bring what’s true for you today, and let the horses, the land and I will meet you there.

My earliest sense of safety and belonging didn’t come from people. It came from nature and animals. They offered a kind of presence and truth that felt steady, non-judging, and real.

Like many, I spent years navigating life in survival mode. Coping, pushing through, and unconsciously carrying the imprint of experiences I didn’t yet understand.

What I came to learn is that the body remembers everything — not just the big moments, but also the subtle, seemingly insignificant ones that quietly shape how we live, feel, and relate.

Over the past decade and more, I have immersed myself in understanding trauma, emotions, the nervous system, and holistic healing — not as theory, but as lived experience.

Through this journey, what became clear is that healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about releasing what no longer belongs and remembering what is already whole.

Working with horses, land, and the living field of nature is not something I chose so much as something I returned to. This work reflects a way of being — attuned, embodied, and deeply respectful of each person’s unique path back to coherence and truth.
