Equine Assisted Therapy

Through attuned connection with ourselves, our bodies and others, we find healing, regulation and increased capacity for aliveness.

Why I like to work with horses as part of my team. Because they mirror our inner states without judgment or interpretation, so interacting with them through carefully crafted exercises can help us reclaim connection with ourselves while simultaneously connecting with another. Different types of communication and skills can be explored and felt through your work with the herd. Somatic Experiencing helps us reset the nervous system’s threat response cycle so we can self- and co-regulate, register a sense of wellbeing, and restore empowerment.
I am working with the Equusoma – Horse Human Trauma Discovery Approach.It is grounded in Somatic Experiencing and the polyvagal theory, mammalian ethology, interpersonal neurobiology, interspecies neurobiology, comparative psychology, equitation science, and beyond. EQUUSOMA offers a unique understanding of equine trauma, human trauma and how trauma manifests. We deep dive into the world of co-regulation, somatic renegotiation, and relational repair, by supporting the conditions for safety, sustainable nervous system states, and resilience to emerge.
