The 'Why'
I'm deeply passionate about curating client experiences that are truly transformative and meaningful. I’ve experienced first hand group programs and retreats that miss the mark as they don’t have the depth of content planning or the foundation underpinned by sound psychological theory. I have carefully crafted a model that is founded on evidence-based psychotherapy theory blended with an engaging delivery style which weaves in nature and the wisdom of horses as a metaphor and guide to deliver carefully balanced and transformational content.
As a teacher of both Equine Psychotherapy and Psychology, I bring extensive experience in curriculum development and content delivery to this training; content that is engaging, well-paced and delivered through activities that are well-balanced. By utilising nature and the wisdom of horses as the means to convey the content, provides a beautiful framework and engaging theme to the work. I am so excited to bring you this training which both supports meaningful and lasting change for participants, while providing facilitators with the confidence and knowledge that are backed by structure and content has a strong evidenced based foundation.
