A Space to Heal. A Different Way to Begin.
This is where it begins...
With presence.
With breath.
With a connection that's felt in your body - not just in your thoughts.
No performance. No pressure.
Just the quiet permission to be as you are - and to be met there.
When words fall short, horses help us feel what needs to be felt.
At Listening Horse, our sessions offer a quiet space for emotional reconnection, nervous system regulation, and healing that doesn’t require explanation. Whether you're an adult seeking support, or a parent looking for something different for your child — we’re here, and the horses are ready.
Trauma-Informed Equine Sessions for Adults
-
You may have tried traditional therapy and found it difficult to connect with. Or maybe you’ve been holding something for a long time — and now it’s time to let it breathe.
-
These 1:1 sessions are for adults navigating trauma, grief, burnout, emotional overwhelm, or simply a sense that something within needs tending.
-
These sessions offer a grounded space to be with what’s present, alongside horses who reflect your inner world without judgment.
-
You don’t have to explain everything. You just need a place to begin.
For those ready to reconnect with themselves — at their own pace.
More than a method — a return to self.
-
This isn’t about fixing or figuring it all out.
-
It’s about coming home to yourself — at your pace, in your way.
-
A space where you can release what’s been held, reconnect to what matters, and gently re-regulate your inner world.
What to expect.
-
Time with Erika and the Herd, in a safe, grounded outdoor space
-
Reflective or active interaction with the horses
-
Integration space for anything that arises — or simply to rest and settle
-
A chance to anchor what’s been felt, noticed, or discovered — so it can begin to take root in everyday life.
For Children and Teens Who Need a Different Kind of Space.
Helping Young People Navigate Emotions, Build Resilience & Find Confidence - One Hoofbeat at a Time.
Not every young person thrives in talk-based or clinical environments. For some, emotions feel too big, too fast, or too confusing to express through words. These sessions offer a quieter path — one that invites safety, connection, and confidence through the presence of horses.
Working with the herd, young people begin to sense their own emotional rhythms, explore regulation, and experience non-verbal connection in a way that meets them where they are.
Ideal for young people who may be:
-
Anxious, emotionally overwhelmed or shut down
-
Highly sensitive or neurodivergent
-
Struggling with regulation, expression, or social interaction
-
Feeling unseen or unsupported in traditional settings
-
Processing trauma, grief, or major life changes
What These Sessions Offer:
-
A quiet, open space — with no pressure to talk or perform
-
Non-verbal connection through observation, movement, and reflection
-
Somatic learning emotional awareness, regulation, and self-trust
-
Support that follows their lead and honours who they are
Our Approach:
-
Neurodivergent-Affirming & Trauma-Informed
-
We honour all ways of being — stimming, silence, pacing, sensitivity.
-
There’s no expectation to mask, no pressure to perform.
-
This is a space where nervous systems can settle.
-
Where emotions are allowed, not analysed.
-
Where healing begins in presence — not in perfection.
All of the sessions are neurodivergent-affirming, trauma-informed, and always tailored to your needs.
