Helping You Feel Better

Taking the journey to wellness with horses

Taking the journey to wellness with horses

At HME we offer sessions for many different people who may be experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood or simply would like to experience the world of horses! The benefits of this work can be infinite and not limited to increased confidence, resilience, emotional wellness, or maybe just a more mindful way of living. We would be honoured to take that journey with you.

Horses are amazing animals that have been helping people for a very long time, they have proven benefits with many problems and are generally known to lift the mood and help people feel relaxed and calm. Horses helping with a persons wellbeing dates back to the ancient Greeks and has just got stronger and stronger! At HME we want you to feel connection with the horses and see what it brings for you.

Our work is non-riding currently but there is so much more to horses we can learn!

I have believed for a long time how amazingly beneficial horses can be for our wellbeing. I have a degree in psychology and many years working with people struggling with mental health, I then spent 8years in a equestrian centre where I realised that these experiences combined were the way forward! I am now a fully qualified equine facilitated practitioner certified by The Athena Herd foundation and an accredited member of the ACCPH. I believe we all deserve to be happy and horses can help us work through our worries and troubles and find a better way of being.

What is Equine facilitated learning?

Observing, meeting the herd

Observing, meeting the herd

Observing, meeting the herd

There is a lot to be learnt in simply watching the horses and how they interact and go about their daily lives, horses are masters of balance and don't hide their emotions, we can learn a lot from them. There are also few strong personalities for you to meet and get to know!

Grooming, touch

Hands on, grooming, connecting and just being with the horses is hugely beneficial we can connect to their energy and they will help us find calm. The act of brushing a horse is therapeutic on so many levels.

Mindfulness

We do not look after ourselves, everyone needs time to just pause and take a moment. Mindfulness helps us do just that and can be done sitting standing or even walking and all with the company of our amazing equines.

Sometimes doing some in hand work with the horses can help us identify or work on a specific issue or problem in our lives, we can take the horses around some obstacles or just walk in the arena and see what they tell us!
