Nature Counselling is for everyone who loves horses, but never had the chance to meet or really connect with them. We’ll talk about e.g. horse behaviour, grooming, feeding, differences in their personality, and how to recognize signs of stress. This is not a riding or natural horsemanship session. With these sessions I’d like to introduce you to a very different, deeper way of being with horses, a way, that I call ‘Peaceful Togetherness with Horses’… so come and meet the minis.

Wellness sessions are ideal if any of this sounds familiar to you: constant worries about daily life events, ‘what if’ questions, stress, list making, perfectionism? Or is your life about to change and you feel uncertain about or even overwhelmed by it (e.g. empty nest, retirement)?

Do you feel your life is like on autopilot, that your thoughts are more in the future and in the past, than in the ‘now’?  Do you sometimes feel you’re missing out on life? You find yourself a lot of time distracting yourself by watching news, or spending time on social media? But at the same time you feel like you’re always in a rush and don’t seem to have time to take a break and/or you have difficulty sleeping? Are you often frustrated about your situation, and you would like to give your life a new direction, but don’t know what that might be or how to achieve it (e.g. self employment, better work-life-balance)?

The sessions are also ideal if you have difficulties in your relationships. It might be, that our partner isn’t emotionally involved into your relationship anymore, insensitive, and unresponsive to your needs? Or do you have difficulties to say no, and always put the needs of others, e.g. your child’s or parent’s needs ahead of your own? Or are there control issues, that your partner is enmeshing in your life, maybe even to the point of trying to take complete control, like checking your phone and constant calls?

Do you feel uncomfortable around other people, or do you feel different and that you don’t really fit in anywhere (e.g. being highly sensitive or neurodivergent) or do you feel no one understands or even attacks you for your ideas and world view – or the causes you campion. Then I would be very happy to meet you.

However, I’m not qualified to work with you without the support of a qualified professional on issues like e.g. schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, severe major depression, personality disorders, autism as well as severe phobias, panic disorders or OCD. The same is true for people who have substance abuse & addiction issues or eating disorders. I’m also not qualified to work with clients who experienced severe physical or mental abuse. However, equine and alpaca facilitated wellness sessions can be a wonderful accompanying therapy for you.

Reiki is an energy healing modality and a treatment usually consists of placing hands on or over the part of the body that needs healing. This can be done by placing the hands directly on the body, but depending on the situation and your wishes the hands can also hover a few centimeters above the body without direct contact. Reiki is done fully clothed. During the treatment life energy flows, however, the energy does not come from the practitioner, we are only a channel for the universal life energy. Reiki teaches that life energy always flows to where it’s needed. The hands are placed on the area that is at ‘dis-ease’, but the energy itself will find the place where it’s needed the most. That’s why Reiki doesn’t require a diagnosis, in Reiki, we intuitively assess where there might be an energetic imbalance. When in doubt, I would always recommend seeing a medical professional. We offer Reiki for people and horses, in person as well as distant Reiki.
