Stories
There are stories that expand us and stories that contract us.
With a desire for self-improvement, stories can help us see life in a variety of ways.
As stories unfold, we notice where they go and how they sit within us.
Somatic support
As we become comfortable with our body contractions, tensions and holds, we slowly identify ways to release them. To notice our spaces and flow.
Through somatic body-based sensing, we gently and slowly learn about body patterns and responses.
Felt safety underpins all that we do.
The presence of horses
The settled presence of horses can promote connection and flow.
Horses can offer a safe place for us to be seen, heard, felt and understood.
We place consent and attunement at the forefront of our relationship. Horses at liberty are free to make all choices. Horses under halter are offered choices through felt safety.
A unique blend
Stories wth Soma activities foster curiosity and wonder, playfulness and connections.
Honouring fluid changes that evolve, move, shape and sit.
Moving towards recovery and interconnection of the mind and body through our felt sense.
You
Seeking self-knowledge and care of your body and mind.
Interested in a balanced outlook to life with a healthy sense of well-being.
Desiring reliable pathways for self in relationship to others.
Trauma support and recovery for horses
Being present to a horse's body story opens a window into their lives.
Supporting horse's trauma and stress through consent, attunement and felt safety opens a pathway to releasing held tensions. We also work together with their voice, their choices, developing trust and empowering the horse through compassion.
Each horse's body story is different and requires a unique approach.
