Our Services

What We Offer:

Helping people help themselves through the magic of horses.​
​

Our pathways and programmes offer discovery and hope through your own truth, insight and intuition helping to find the courage and strength to guide you to open doors you had never imagined.

 

We offer a combination of EAGALA, Arobridge Equine First, Equine Assisted Therapy and Equine Assisted Learning.

 

Our hope is that you will leave your session, workshop or programme with a plan for lasting healing and transformation.  Just some of the positive effects of working with horses include but not limited to:

​

  • Reduced stress

  • Assisting with PTSD

  • Improving  self-esteem

  • Becoming more assertive

  • Controlling impulses

  • Responsibility awareness

  • Relationship building and awareness

  • Help with problem solving

​

A Meeting of Minds

 

At Meeting Minds, we offer a range of experiences that invite growth, healing, and connection.

​

Our sessions offer two distinct approaches:

Equine Assisted Therapy (EAGALA model) and Equine Assisted Learning, Growth, and Development.

 

Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT) (EAGALA Model) (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association)

​

In an EAGALA treatment session, you actively engage with horses in a structured, client-directed process facilitated by myself, a trained EAGALA Equine Specialist, alongside a mental health professional .  These sessions are designed to help clients work through specific mental health challenges, offering a powerful alternative to traditional talk-based therapy.

 

​Horses, known for their sensitivity to human emotions, provide a dynamic and intuitive feedback loop that allows clients to gain deep insights into their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. As they are prey animals so are acutely aware of their surroundings as their lives depend on it.  They are attuned to our emotional state and respond accordingly.  We change our internal state and they react like a mirro and change their behaviour.  Your treatment team observes how the horses respond to you, interpreting these reactions as symbolic reflections of your life experiences. This immersive approach facilitates personal awareness, transformation, and healing, empowering you to reshape your narrative and move toward a healthier state of mind.

​

Equine Assisted Therapy resolves issues 10x faster than talk therapy.

 

Equine Assisted Learning, Growth, and Development

​

Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL) offers experiential, hands-on sessions where individuals, groups, families, and teams build confidence, communication skills, emotional awareness, and personal leadership. Without a mental health professional present, participants engage with horses in a way that fosters self‑exploration and empowerment. The horses act as intuitive facilitators, helping people uncover strengths, develop resilience, and reconnect with their authentic selves. These sessions provide a supportive, nature‑based environment for anyone seeking personal growth, clarity, and deeper self-awareness.

​

​​Which one is for you?:

 

EAL is not therapy but is still therapeutic, it is a hands‑on learning experience where horses help you build confidence, communication, and problem‑solving skills. Whereas EAT is a therapy modality facilitated by a qualified Mental Health professional and a qualified Equine Specialist.  In both approaches, the horse acts as a mirror, responding to how you show up in the moment and giving you instant, honest feedback. Whether you’re seeking support for your mental health or simply looking to grow personally, time with horses offers a safe, welcoming space to connect, reflect, and discover what’s possible.

​

Both approaches—EAGALA therapy and Equine Assisted Learning—offer a sacred, supportive space where your inner wisdom can emerge. Standing in a paddock, surrounded by nature, with a gentle horse alongside, you have the opportunity to quiet your mind, detach from external stressors, and listen deeply to yourself.

​

Our mission is to provide a safe and transformative space where healing, self-discovery, and empowerment unfold naturally. Whether you are navigating mental health challenges or seeking personal growth and development, the horses and facilitators at The Blue Moon Healing Centre are here to guide and support you on your journey.

​

Experience this authentic process for yourself and discover the profound impact of equine-assisted therapy and learning.

​

For those seeking deeper connection, our Spiritual Journeys with Horses awaken instinct, intuition, and inner wisdom, guiding you to remember that you already hold the answers within.

 

We also offer Horsemanship 101, a practical introduction to working confidently and respectfully with horses.

 

Beyond the arena, our Moon Circles and community gatherings create sacred spaces to reflect, share, and reconnect with the rhythms of nature and self.​​​​​​
