Somatic Therapy with Horses: A Deep Integration
What is Somatic Therapy with Horses?
This approach combines Somatic Therapy techniques with equine-assisted interactions, offering a unique healing experience that blends body awareness with the presence of horses. By working with horses, individuals can access deep emotional processing in a nonverbal, embodied way.
How I Work with the Herd of Horses
Unlike many equine therapy approaches, I place my massage bed in the middle of the herd, allowing the horses to engage naturally and intuitively. This setting creates a unique and deeply immersive experience where:
Horses choose how and when they interact, ensuring an authentic connection.
Their natural movement and presence support nervous system regulation and somatic awareness.
Clients experience the powerful co-regulation effect of an entire herd, rather than just an individual horse.
