A great program to get started in animal or equine assisted therapy. Practical and empowering. Gives you great depth, understanding and tools to set up the practice.

NEW PROGRAM - Join experienced animal & equine assisted therapist, educator, clinical supervisor and mentor, Sarah Munn, AHPRA registered occupational therapist. Sarah runs a multi disciplinary therapy & learning team focusing on paediatrics and mental health, neurodivergence and trauma. Sarah has run clinic and farm based services for 14 years making this a rare opportunity to learn from a leader in the sector.

This is an individual and bespoke program where you learn to navigate getting started in equine or animal assisted therapy or learning. Or if you have already started but need to write pouches, procedures and check into evidence based or trauma informed practice this is also valuable.

Usually delivered over 10 weeks for an intense and goal focused experience, this program can also be run over a year if you need longer to work on things in between sessions or prefer a payment plan and course delivery over a longer time frame.

Even if you want to include some animal practice and also use outdoor spaces, nature and gardening this is the program for you. Understand scope of practice and how to integrate your core skills and techniques to include horses, other animals, horticulture and nature. Get all the help you need to get on the right track and secure insurances required to start with clients and grade your own professional development and support in the sector.

We know there’s not alway much research and evidence for the things we find that work. But opinions are fairly optimistic about equine Bowen. Love your horses.

*Support for Cost of Living* Autumn and winter can be the perfect time to get that all important clinical supervision in AAT, integrated therapies or OT. I have put together a special offer to help with the cost of living crisis. Because it is getting more and more difficult to afford supervision and essential PD, especially in private practice.

If we work on the quirkier edges of professional scope of practice, it is even more important to connect with someone experienced in the field to ensure best practice and your own development.

Cosy up inside for an online chat about your practice - go deeper into how integrative practice works and the most authentic way for you to blend your different ways of working while being in scope.

I am offering an autumn/winter discount - block of 4 sessions for the price of 3. Book in for May, June, July, August.

Perfect for a project, finding balance and focus, animal wellbeing, trauma or ND informed practice, or simply upskilling on meditation, paeds or mental health approaches.

Book into my calendar at times that suit you. Contact admin@barefoottherapists.com.au

We are outdoor people offering programs that are practical and helpful in real time with real equine therapists.

Right now we are probably in the paddock doing what we love. We don’t prioritise time for hustling on social media looking for more clout, so you won’t find that here.

But if you like what we offer, get in touch. We are very flexible in how we teach and support people. So reach out for real human connection and we can work together elsewhere.

Ways to connect. Sarah Munn is our main contributor and organiser. Email enquiries@sarahmunn.com.au and be pointed in the right direction for your next step. If we can’t help you, we may know someone else who can.

Collaborators include the Barefoot portfolio and Gadara Farm our usual Victoria venue.

Next up is Equine Reiki Level 2 in March at Victoria. Designed for therapists who want to provide wellbeing for their horses. Being present and working with energy is very in line with horses. Also equips you with tools for working with Reiki energy for humans and other animals. Recent studies found that reiki practitioners achieved better medical markers than the control group who just had hands on without the reiki. Interesting. And you can often observe the horses reacting in your presence, relaxing, and displaying signs of stress relief, and even laying down. Sounds like magic, but is actually just energetic. You need you reiki level one for this one.

Thanks to the Equine Reiki Collective for their Level One program for spreading the love not only to therapists working with horses, but to animal and human lovers in general.

ETA HORSE FACTS. We know that some equine assisted therapists think about Equine Chakras and use some natural approaches to wellbeing. While we know this is not evidence based (yet) there is much anecdotal evidence that working with energy chakras and meridians are thought to be helpful when working with horses - there is an upsurge in horse folk getting trained in these complementary practices. And did you know…..most mammals have additional chakras to humans. The Bud chakras under each hoof, and the Brachial chakra on the shoulder of each side where the brachial plexus is which is thought to be the energy centre of animals. These are additional to the 7 they share with humans. And we all know a lot starts at the shoulder. So send it love.
