Equine-Assisted Energy Healing
A deeper way to experience yourself.
This is a special collaboration between Anna and Steph, combining somatic equine-assisted therapy and intuitive energy healing in one 90-minute session.
The session is intentionally shared between the two practices, giving you time to experience the work through your body, your relationship with the horses and your energetic experience.
Rather than simply talking about what's happening in your life, you're given the space to notice, feel and experience it.
And because the work happens alongside horses, outdoors and away from the usual environments where your patterns play out, you may notice things about yourself that are difficult to access through conversation alone.
This is a deeper session for those ready to really explore what's happening beneath the surface.
Why Horses?
There is something very different about being with a horse compared with sitting across from someone and talking about yourself.Horses are incredibly responsive to what is happening around them. They communicate through movement, proximity, body language and behaviour, and they respond to their environment in real time.When you're standing in a paddock with a horse, there isn't much room to stay completely inside your head.You have to notice.Where are you?How does your body feel?What are you responding to?What happens when a horse approaches?What happens when it walks away?Do you move closer?Do you hold back?Do you feel nervous?Excited?Curious?Comfortable?There isn't a right answer.And we don't need to decide what every behaviour means.Instead, we pay attention to your experience.Because sometimes the most useful thing isn't being told something about yourself.It's noticing it yourself.Two practices. One deeper experience.
The session brings together two different approaches that complement each other beautifully.
Somatic Equine-Assisted TherapyAnna guides you through the equine-assisted component of the session, helping you become more aware of your body, your responses and what happens within you while you're in relationship with the horses.
Rather than simply discussing your experiences intellectually, you have the opportunity to notice them as they happen.
Your body might tell you something before you have words for it.
You might notice a familiar response.
A boundary.
An impulse.
A feeling.
A pattern.
Or simply something you hadn't noticed before.
The horses become part of an experience that allows you to explore yourself in real time.
Intuitive Energy HealingSteph brings intuitive energy healing into the second half of the experience.
This creates space to slow down further and bring attention to what may be happening within your energetic and emotional experience.
You may notice sensations, emotions, thoughts, memories, images or a sense of clarity.
You may experience none of these things.
There is nothing you need to make happen.
Steph works intuitively with what presents and offers observations or reflections where appropriate, while you remain the person who decides what resonates and what doesn't.
Where the two meet.
This isn't simply two separate sessions placed together.
The somatic and energetic work can inform each other.
Something you experience with the horses may give context to what emerges during the energy healing.
Something that becomes clear during the energy healing may change the way you understand what you experienced in the paddock.
And throughout the session, you're invited to stay curious about your own experience.
You notice. You feel. You explore. You understand.
Rather than being handed an answer, you have the opportunity to discover more about yourself.
What actually happens?
We begin with a cup of herbal tea and a conversation.
You'll have some time to talk with us about what's happening in your life and anything you'd like to bring into the session.
From there, you'll enter the paddock and meet the herd.
Anna will guide the somatic equine-assisted component, creating opportunities to notice what happens within your body and experience as you interact with the horses.
We'll work with whatever naturally arises rather than trying to manufacture a particular outcome.
The second half of the session moves into intuitive energy healing with Steph on the table in the field.
You'll have space to slow down, receive the energetic work and notice what is happening within you.
We'll then take some time to reflect on your experience and anything that became clearer throughout the session.
There is no script and no particular experience you're supposed to have.
We work with what is actually there.
Your body is part of the conversation.
The body is often communicating long before we have the words to explain what's happening.
You might notice your breathing change.
Tension.
Ease.
An emotional response.
The urge to move closer or further away.
A thought that keeps appearing.
A feeling you weren't expecting.
Or a sense that something simply doesn't feel right.
These moments aren't things we need to immediately explain or fix.
They're opportunities to become more aware.
The more you notice, the more information you have to work with.
And the more you begin to understand your own responses, the easier it can become to make choices that feel more aligned with you.
I'm not here to tell you what the horse means.
This is important to us.
We don't believe every movement a horse makes needs to become a spiritual message.
Sometimes a horse is just being a horse.
What interests us is what happens for you while you're with it.
If a horse walks away, what do you notice?
If one comes close, how does that feel?
If you're unsure what to do, what do you naturally do?
If something unexpected happens, how do you respond?
The horses create an environment where these things can happen naturally.
You get to notice yourself in the experience.
And that's where the work begins.
This work may be for you if…
You feel like you're spending a lot of time in your head.
You understand yourself intellectually but aren't experiencing much change.
You feel stuck in a pattern you can't quite shift.
You're disconnected from your body or find it difficult to know what you actually feel.
You tend to override your own needs, instincts or boundaries.
You're curious about yourself and want to experience this kind of work in a different environment.
You're ready to explore something more deeply than a conversation alone has allowed you to.
Or perhaps you simply feel drawn to horses and want to see what happens when you give yourself the space to slow down and listen.
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you need to work on.
And you don't need to have experience with horses.
What might you take from it.
Every session is different.
You might leave feeling lighter, clearer or more grounded.
You might understand something about yourself that you hadn't been able to see before.
You might notice a pattern.
You might reconnect with your body.
You might become more aware of your boundaries or your responses to other people.
You might feel more trusting of your own instincts.
You might leave with a question rather than an answer.
Or you might simply feel like you've had the space to slow down and experience yourself differently.
There isn't a prescribed outcome.
The point is to notice what becomes possible when you listen.
Experience from the field
“Being surrounded by nature and all the gorgeous horses felt healing in itself. The environment created a sense of calm and safety which made it easy to relax and open up to the experience.
Steph's energy healing felt gentle and powerful at the same time. During the session, Steph shared that the horses were releasing energy, and this helped me to allow myself to release as well. It felt like a deeply supportive and special experience, with the horses holding space alongside Steph and Anna.
I left feeling so much lighter and more grounded. I'm very grateful I got to experience this beautiful session.”
— Client Reflection
“Thanks Steph & Anna for the most beautiful, calming experience. I felt so safe and supported, and validated during this process.
I've continued to carry the calm and learnings into the days after, feeling a peace, understanding and acceptance of what has been, and can now be, for me. A lot of journaling and follow through has helped me process the feelings and experience.”

The herd.
The horses aren't props for the session.
They're living, responsive animals with their own personalities, preferences and boundaries.
You'll meet the herd and have the opportunity to interact with them in a way that respects their autonomy and wellbeing.
Anna holds responsibility for the wellbeing and safety of the horses and people within the paddock and guides the somatic equine-assisted component of the session.
Steph guides the intuitive energy healing and reflective work.
Together, we create a space where you can explore your experience without having to perform, achieve or get anything “right”.
And then you take it with you.
The most important part of this work doesn't necessarily happen in the paddock.
It happens afterwards.
When you notice yourself responding differently.
When you catch a familiar pattern sooner.
When you listen to the feeling you've been overriding.
When you say no.
When you finally say yes.
When you give yourself permission to want something.
When you keep a promise to yourself.
These are the small moments where awareness becomes action.
And where self-trust begins to grow.
The horses are one doorway into that work.
You are the one who gets to walk through it.
The experience.
