HEALING WITH HORSES
Equine Therapy
Experience the Transformational, Healing Energy and Wisdom of Horses.
Equine Therapy is now a proven method of therapy that is known to assist people dealing with emotional and physical trauma. The premise of equine therapy is that interacting with a horse under the supervision of a professional can complement traditional treatments to best support ones recovery. Like dogs, and dolphins, horses are keenly tuned into peoples thoughts and emotions. Interacting with Horses helps the participant build confidence, improve their social capacity, create more resilience and bring about a sense of peace and calm.

FIND YOUR INNER BLISS
Equine Assisted Art Therapy
Jo and Emma are qualified NEUROGRAPHICA Specialists, and Emilie is a transpersonal art therapist. Our Team have an extensive history and many years experience in multiple modalties along with lived experience.
Why art therapy? When words are not enough, we turn to images, colours and symbols to tell our stories. In telling our stories through art, we can find a path to healing, recovery, and transformation. Emotional distress may be calmed by relieving the energy and emotions onto a canvas or any art medium. Art is a mindful and meditative process that helps us grow as human beings, keeping us rooted and in touch with our inner self, instilling peace and patience. It relieves anxiety and depression and helps to calm a busy mind. When art is combined with the presence of our horses, our creativity is expanded as we access deeper parts of ourselves.

HORSE-OM
Shamanic Drumming with Horses
Whether you're looking to reduce stress, boost creativity, or build social connections, shamanic drumming can be a powerful tool to help you achieve your goals.
Many tribes used drums in ceremonies and celebrations to call Spirits and help people directly connect with the Spiritual World.
Drumming creates a powerful state of presence, which takes you out of processing the past or worrying about the future (and out of your stress response) and brings you instead into a state of freedom within the present moment, where everything is possible. Easy meditation.
Either one on one or in a circle, come and enjoy a Shamanic Drumming session with our beautiful human and furry facilitators.
To find out more about Shamanic Drumming Sessions please contact Jo.

FINDING THE GENEROUS PRESENT MOMENT
Mindfulness sessions with horses
Studies suggest that focusing on the present can have a positive impact on health and well-being. Mindfulness-based treatments have been shown to reduce anxiety and depression. There's also evidence that mindfulness can lower blood pressure and improve sleep. It may even help people cope with pain.
Jo studied a Level 3 Diploma in Mindfulness and then created her own style of finding the present moment with animals, aptly named the Pillar of Peace.

HORSE-OM
Sound Healing
Given that everything has a vibrational frequency, including ourselves, it makes sense that sound frequencies impact our bodies. In fact, it is an archetypal language, instinctively recognised by every cell in our body. That's why certain types of music often bring about specific types of emotions. Sound healing, which is an ancient healing practice, uses tonal frequencies to bring the body into a state of vibrational balance, healing and harmony.
Sound healing works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system – the opposite of the stress flight or fight response, it slows down your breath rate, your heart rate and even your brainwaves, putting you into an almost trance-like state.
Jo has witnessed some of the most profound healing and esoteric experiences in her clients after a sound healing.
Jo is a certified Sound Healing Practitioner, specialising in Gongs. Jo sees herself as a Frequency Facilitator. She facilitators the frequencies of sound, light and nature.
