Equine Therapy & Somatic Healing in Nature

Welcome to Grounded by the Herd

Healing Through Horses, Nature, and Embodied Presence

At Grounded by the Herd, I offer one-on-one, trauma-informed sessions with horses in a natural, supportive environment. This is a space for self-discovery, emotional regulation, and deep reconnection — especially for those navigating grief, anxiety, trauma, boundary challenges, or a longing to feel more grounded and at home in their body.

Through guided time with horses and mindful nature walks, you are invited to slow down, feel safe, and return to your own inner rhythm. The horses are not here to be ridden or controlled — they are our partners in presence. They live fully in the moment, responding not to words, but to sensation, energy, and truth. They offer a non-judgmental space where you can experience yourself without pressure, gently supported in finding your own wisdom, clarity, and calm.

Horses have the remarkable ability to sense and respond to our nervous systems, often mirroring what we’re feeling before we’re even aware of it. Their steady heartbeats and grounded awareness can help regulate our own physiology, allowing stress to release and presence to return. In this co-regulation, both horse and human benefit — a natural rhythm of healing and trust begins to unfold.

Grounded by the Herd offers support with:

Boundary repair and self-awareness
Grief integration and anxiety relief
Somatic healing for trauma
Regulation and connection for those on the autism spectrum
Support for mental health and wellness
Accessible, calming experiences for individuals with physical disabilities
Gentle group visits for aged care living facilities

This work is not about performance or perfection — it’s about being, feeling, and reconnecting with your own truth in the presence of horses, nature, and a compassionate guide. This is a safe space where you’re invited to move at your own pace, supported by the herd, the land, and your body’s innate wisdom.
