Healing with Horses
An Empowerment Journey
Please join me in collaboration with Madison Dronfield of Dronfield Equestrian for this powerful opportunity of exploration, healing and empowerment.
Working with the energy of horses offers a whole new layer to your inner exploration.
With a focus on Somatic and Nervous System Healing in combination with Energetic and Spiritual Healing, we work through limiting beliefs, explore empowerment and boundaries, self-connection and inner child healing with the addition of horsemanship, offering an entirely new layer to your holistic healing journey.
Horses are one of our greatest teachers. They are energetic beings tuned into heartbeat, breath and body. They read your system and respond to it directly. Horses do not care who you are or what you’ve done in the past. They care about the present moment with you. They care about how you’re showing up with them. They are with you in the here and now, ready to show you what you haven’t noticed. Ready to help you process, ground and heal.
This collaboration with Sarah and Maddy provides 9 alternating sessions. Your first session is with Sarah, Somatic Practitioner and Energy Healer. Together we discuss your experiences and goals, formulating a plan that provides both somatic and energy healing that will correlate with your work with the horses.
Your time with Maddy focuses on understanding horse behaviour, building a relationship with your horse teacher, and working on the ground with your horse. This is non-riding work. This is building a deeper understanding and relationship with yourself through working with your horse teacher.
After each session with Maddy and your horse, you’ll return to Sarah to process and work through what came up in your groundwork session. This processing is done through somatic and energetic work.
These sessions build on each other. They aim to guide you to a greater understanding of yourself, build confidence, allow you to work through blockages and bring potential healing.
Here’s a general guide of what this 9 session Healing with Horses program can look like:
Session 1 with Sarah
During this one hour session we’ll discuss your current experiences, challenges and history. Together we formulate a plan that incorporates your current needs and wants. We prepare for your time with your horse teacher through energetic connection to Horse Spirit.
Session 2 with Maddy
During this 45 minute session, you begin by introducing yourself to the Horse you’ll be working with. Each horse at Dronfield Equestrian doing this powerful work has their own unique magic and you’ll be set up with the right fit for your goals. This session focuses on understanding basic equine behaviour and communication, and learning how to groom and brush the horse as a tool of connection.
Session 3 with Sarah
You’ll return to Sarah to process what came up in your first session with your horse teacher. This session can include somatic processing or energy healing. We look at your physical and mental response to your first session with your horse guide and allow for integration of that experience.
Session 4 with Maddy
You head back to the barn to reconnect with your horse guide. You begin the basics of groundwork. This session focuses on learning to work in partnership with your horse teacher. You will start the session with connecting and grooming your horse, then head to the arena to learn how to handle and lead your equine partner.
Session 5 with Sarah
You return to Sarah to once again discuss what’s been coming up with your work with your horse guide. We’ll talk about energy, boundaries, the nervous system and anything that’s present in you, working through it both somatically and energetically, while discussing strategies to take home with you.
Session 6 with Maddy
You’re heading back to the barn to work with Maddy and your horse guide. You continue your groundwork exploration and building your partnership with your horse teacher. You explore how your energy influences that of your horse partner and how to direct it.
Session 7 with Sarah
You return to Sarah to process through whatever has been coming up in your work with your horse guide. Common things to come up in your groundwork sessions are worthiness issues, boundary struggles, body bracing and tension and more. We'll address it all.
Session 8 with Maddy
You’re back to the barn for your final session with your horse teacher. You’ll work on your connection exercises and reading your horse. This last session takes what you’ve been learning and expresses itself in a free lunging session if you feel ready. Once this powerful practice has been explored, you'll take time for final gratitude with your horse teacher.
Session 9 with Sarah
You have your final session with Sarah. During this session we discuss the past weeks and how they went, what came up, what shifted and what might still need work. We focus on both somatic processing and an energy session to connect once again with Horse Spirit and offer gratitude for the work that’s been done.
After completing your program, you are welcome to continue booking sessions with Maddy and Sarah as needed.
What you’ll come away with:
A greater understanding of your nervous system
A greater awareness of what your body carries
A greater connection to yourself as both a human and energetic being
A greater connection to the spirit of horses and their powerful energetic gifts
The take-away and benefits of this work are limitless. Anything is possible!
Each person will have a unique experience with their horse teacher.
Are you ready to step into this next phase of your empowerment journey?
