WELL WITH HORSES
Working with horses in this way, is a reconnection with all of nature.
Horses are great teachers, mirrors and guides who can help you see your whole self (including your limiting beliefs) more clearly.
As relational herd animals who depend on each other for survival and emotional wellbeing, they remind us to be present, to prioritize safety, connection and relationship.
Come spend time with the herd to awaken your natural leadership, harness your personal power, tune into the information of your emotions and amplify your life force energy.
Learn how to regulate your nervous system and discover ways to create loving boundaries to experience more freedom in your life.
This work does not involve riding or require any previous experience with horses, but is rather about working with horses in a healing and growth capacity.
As a Pro-EFW Learning Professional, each session is uniquely designed to help you become more present and able to access the wisdom of your body, emotions and soul. Learn more about my scope of practice here.
“Horses listen to what is not spoken, to what lies in the heart, and reflect it back to us. They let us hear the longing of our soul.”

EQUINE GUIDED WELLNESS
-
WHAT IS EQUINE GUIDED WELLNESS?
In partnership with horses, Equine Guided Wellness weaves together life coaching, experiential learning and personal development through simple experiences that create integration of body, mind, heart and soul.
This approach is influenced by the principles of integrative and somatic therapies, neuroscience, mindfulness, relational horsemanship and nature based practice.
Core principles include present moment focus, body awareness, using all the senses, emotion as information, informed boundaries and connection with nature.

WHO IS THIS WORK FOR?
Equine Guided Wellness is for anyone of any age looking to slow down, heal, recover, ease anxiety, eliminate burnout, be inspired, seek clarity and reconnect to the wisdom of their body, emotions and soul.
Some of the benefits you can expect from this work include updating your nervous system to respond to the present, increased capacity to modulate stress, release of trauma and expanded connection to yourself and others.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A SESSION
Every session is unique and individually curated to support your emotional, psychological, relational and spiritual growth, while also prioritizing the horse’s wellbeing.
We’ll always begin with a simple check-in, grounding and body scan, followed by a few empowering exercises such as boundary setting, grooming, leading, or hanging out with the horses.
What you’ll receive
Aligning to The Well Method, Well WITH Horses is a 4 step process journeyed through over the course of four sessions.
Session 1: WILD
Awaken your Senses & Meet the Herd
Widen your perception and experience being in nature the way horses do; with four feet grounded on the earth and all of their senses fully open to their environment, awake to the here and now. Observe horses in their natural state and notice your intuitive nudges.
Session 2: EMBODIED
Body Language & Boundaries
Learn the subtle art of body language and practice unspoken communication with horses. Discover how to maintain your “personal energy bubble” and how to create clear, fluid and loving boundaries, with both horses and humans in your life.
Session 3: LIBERATED
leadership & Energy
Explore sources and uses of pressure in your life and discover how to wield your energy with sensitivity, to make things happen. Learn the importance of personal leadership to lead a horse and walk confidently through the world.
Session 4: LIVING
Relationship & Co-Regulation
Regulate to relate. Move from protection to connection and learn how nervous systems affect each other to deepen all of your relationships. Practice grounding, giving and receiving fully through relational grooming and liberty work.
Structure & Flow
We’ll meet once per week for four weeks (60 minute sessions), or for one 3 hour session if you’re traveling to the farm located in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island and looking for a longer “afternoon retreat” style experience.
If you’re unable to attend in person, this work can be facilitated virtually. Although much more powerful in person, we can create a hybrid program and schedule (meeting online and/or in person) to suit your needs.
4 appointments over 4 weeks
OR one 3 hour session
Extra support handouts for increased education & empowerment
Regular email correspondence for continued support & encouragement in between sessions
