What is Healing by horses?

A typical session starts with a touch base meeting that allows you to briefly discuss your goals for therapy. This is followed by time in the paddock with one to two horses and me to teach horse safety and monitor the horses’ behavior, and monitoring your emotional well-being.

Sometimes clients apply real-life scenarios to their interactions with the horses. The horses serve as metaphors for characters in their own lives. With this technique, the horses make their own choices and are free to move throughout the paddock, closer or further away from the client. This can create shifts in how the client perceives their life stories. This self-distancing approach allows for the modeling of boundaries and connections we would see in human-to-human interactions.
