Wellness with Horses
Do you feel you need a break from everyday life activities?
Do you feel tired and lack of energy?
Would you like to be out in nature?
I know that it’s not always easy to find the time that allows you to treat and spoil yourself.
Wellness begins with connection with ourselves and to nature.
Being around horses can help you feel rejuvenated, grounded and revitalised.
Our calm and friendly horses can offer you a relaxing, non-judgmental way to feel grounded and present.
We will work on our breathing exercises as well as body awareness.
Suitable for adults and teenagers
1 hour, private session held in Beaconsfield, may include (not limited to), breathing exercises to release tension, grounding ourselves, brushing the horses, walking around the property, working on body awareness and more.
(Riding is not included)
Trauma Therapy (Embodied Processing)
Embodied Processing – Somatic & Psycho-Therapeutic approach to exploring the roots of trauma
Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma?
Do you feel overwhelm? Are you a people-pleaser?
We can conduct trauma therapy via Zoom or face-to-face with the company of our beautiful horses
“Hi Abby, I just wanted to thank you for working with Xavier. He really enjoyed it and as he is a gentle soul I think he and the horse will soon be acquitted. Many thanks.”
