Coaching & Personal Development
We provide horse assisted coaching sessions for people who want to expand their personal development and strengthen their wellbeing.
Our approach is often particularly effective for people who especially enjoy nature based learning.
Our facilities are fully accessible, safe, private and all work is confidential under a strict code of ethics.
​
Our unique approach
Non-traditional setting
Our rural location is open, spacious and allows our clients to enjoy the freedom and peaceful environment of the outdoors.
​
Relationship insights
Observing herd dynamics can help us to better recognise the range of dynamics in our own relationships.
In turn, the horses can become part of our own story of how we can grow relationships in all aspects of our lives.
Emotional regulation
Horses have the ability recognise and respond to the physical and emotional experiences that we all have.
This response can really help us to become more self aware aware at a depth and pace that is respectful and manageable.
Connection
Being alongside the horses and having the space to pause and reflect in a natural environment, allows us to take our time to connect more fully with ourselves and to nurture our wellbeing.
Options
Individual session
50 minute session for up to two people with our horses, and a facilitator.
​
Small group wellbeing sessions
Two hour facilitated group session for up to 10 people with our horses, a facilitator and a horse assistant.
