At Meeting Minds NZ, my approach is rooted in authenticity, safety, and connection. Every session — whether therapeutic, learning-focused, spiritual, or practical — is guided by the belief that true growth happens when we feel seen, valued, and supported.

 

Working alongside horses, I create spaces where participants can explore both the practical and the profound.

​

Horses respond honestly to our energy and presence, offering feedback that helps us build resilience, communication, and confidence. At the same time, they invite us to awaken instinct, trust intuition, and reconnect with the wisdom we already carry within.

 

I embrace the rustic realities of our rural setting — the mud, the sheep, the stream, the sensory garden — because they remind us that healing and learning are not polished or perfect, but real and grounded in nature.

​

What do I do?

 

I facilitate interactions between a client(s)  and a horse(s).  The horse(s) and client(s) communicate in a sacred, special and primordial way.  They see each other and learn to trust and respect each other via exercises or just being in the same space.  The client learns different behaviours and thought patterns and the horses(s) allow them to practice these new ways of being in a safe environment without judgment but receives instant feedback.

​

My role is to hold space with care, ensuring safety through clear processes, while encouraging each person to discover their own answers and pathways forward.This approach is trauma-informed, heart-led, and practical. It honours both sides of the coin: the structured models of Equine-Assisted Therapy and Learning, and the spiritual journeys that reconnect us to our wholeness.

 

What do clients come to me for?

​

Anxiety, depression etc or people simply wanting to ground and seek clarity on issues that they are facing and looking for answers for a way forward.  Horses provide that safe space to explore.  They help us to see that we already have the answers within.

​

It’s about meeting minds, meeting hearts, and meeting horses — to remember that we are already all that we need.
