Let’s Do this
How it works…
“ Do your work, then step back. The only path to Serenity. ” ~ Lao Tzu
Is this therapy?
Equine Gestalt Coaching is not traditional intellectual “talk therapy” and is non-diagnostic. No labels here, no analyzing your brain for an hour. In Gestalt sessions, we want you to explore your heart, what you’re feeling and as deep into your soul as you would like to go. Gestalt coaching is experiential and, in the moment, meaning you will be actively engaging in a Gestalt experience that allows you to freely explore any unfinished business that is blocking you from living the life you want. Gestalt experiences are as different and unique as each individual.
The Gestalt Method is well known, respected and is often used in conjunction with traditional intellectual therapies.
What can I expect?
Your coaching session will be held in a confidential, comfortable and safe space allowing you to fully immerse yourself into a deeply powerful and truly transformative coaching experience that can foster positive lasting change in your life.
The session is dedicated to you. Your horse partner and I will hold space for you as you begin your trails of self-discovery.
You can expect to be genuinely seen and heard in a sacred space free from judgement.
We will support you with love, compassion and integrity at every interaction. Your sessions are 100% confidential. What happens at the barn stays at the barn!
What does a typical session look like?
You will be greeted upon arrival by our horse handler who will perform a safety demo with you and your horse partner, assist you through the barn and arena to our coaching area and ensure that you are comfortable. Gestalt coaching happens in the present moment and explores what is coming up for you at that moment. Therefore, to have the best authentic experience, I do not need a lengthy history prior to our session as we will discover your unfinished business in the actual session. I will meet you at the barn where we will begin your healing journey.
Due to the holistic, experiential and in the moment nature of Gestalt, our sessions are longer than traditional “talk therapy”. Private Sessions are 90 mins in length and our Group Sessions are 2.5 to 3 hours depending upon the number of group members and “pieces of work” we want to do. Our Workshops are single and multi day depending on the topic and our Retreats are multi day serenity experiences.
I am flexible with days and times as my client schedule allows. Please call me to discuss what works for you.
What should I wear and what fitness level is needed?
Our sessions are held in a comfortable environment in the barn, lounge, or outside in nature (weather permitting of course). Please wear comfortable clothes for the weather of the day. Your session is experiential so you may be moving around a bit. Closed toe shoes and clothes you can move around in are recommended as you will be walking on arena sand (loosely packed sand ) or outdoors 0n the gravel and grass.
ALL fitness levels are appropriate for Equine Gestalt Coaching. We will not be riding horses and I promise we will not be running on any trails (unless that is part of your unfinished business, lol). All coaching sessions are set-up with your safety in mind.
What if I'm afraid of horses?
It is ok if you have fears. You will NEVER be asked to do anything that you are not comfortable with in your sessions or with the horses. NO horse experience is needed. You will not be riding the horse in your sessions. Each session is as unique as the client though most begin with your horse partner in the round pen while you are on the outside of the pen. However, depending on the experience or “piece of work” your exploring, you may choose to be in the round pen with the horse for coaching and energy healing.
The horse is an active, intuitive, healing partner in the coaching experience and respects your boundaries. Horses have the ability to offer their healing, raising your energy fields from a distance so you do not have to be in the round pen with the horse to receive their healing benefit. However, once engaged in the sessions, most clients become more comforable in the horse’s presence, feel the healing taking place and are eager to be closer to their horse partner.
