🌿 HEART-LED RETREAT – April 18
🌀 12 WEEK GROUP SOMATICS – Starts April

19/04/2026

🌀 The importance of emotion has been pushed into the background in today’s world. We have learned to manage it, suppress it and shut it down rather than feel it.

But emotion is not separate from us, it’s how we experience life, and shutting our emotional world down has consequences.

When emotional experience is consistently held back, it doesn’t disappear. It builds pressure in the system and shows up in other ways.

In my sessions we work with emotional experience as something present in the body.

Radix Somatic Work includes building real capacity to feel emotion without becoming overwhelmed by it.

As capacity grows, people often notice more connection, presence, choice and aliveness in their life.

If this feels familiar, the invitation is here…
reach out to work with me.

I’ve been working under the name Equus & Awareness for some time, primarily focusing on equine-facilitated therapy and horse-centred relational work.

This work with horses has not only helped me support others through their own journey, but allowed me to deepen my own understanding of myself.

The horses have helped me to connect with my purpose and given me clarity on how I wish to move through the world. So, as I have evolved, so has my work and its container.

I now work as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist, integrating both Somatic Body-Based Therapy and Equine Therapy through my practice, InBalance Therapies.

At the heart of this work, the focus is:
supporting balance through relational and embodied work.

Whether we are in the presence of horses, or in the therapy room I work with the same process. A process of supporting awareness of what is happening in the body & mind and in the present moment, and allowing the nervous system to shift through safety, connection and attunement.

This space will now reflect the wider scope of that work and I look forward to sharing more.

S E L F - C O M P A S S I O N 🌀

Self-compassion is something I come back to again and again in sessions.

So many of us have learned to be our own harshest critic, believing that it will push us forward.

But being self-critical drains our energy and life-force, and it actually makes it harder to reach our goals because we feel tired and flat.

Self-compassion isn’t about letting ourselves off the hook - it’s about creating nurturing conditions.

When we cultivate self-compassion we’re feeding positivity and genuine confidence which is energy boosting and life-affirming.

Cultivating self-compassion is an art form. If we are not used to doing it, it’s going to feel silly and hard at first.

That doesn’t mean it’s not working, it just means we’re learning a new way of relating to ourselves ✨

🤎 What would it be like to meet yourself with more compassion?

If you’re wanting a space to explore this more deeply, you can find our latest offering via the link in bio.

Insight matters. It’s the discovery of something important about yourself - your behaviours, your motivations, even unconscious patterns. Insight can be soothing for an overwhelmed mind and it can support change, but insight alone does not create it.

In fact, meaningful shifts can happen without intellectual insight at all.

This is because our nervous system drives how we respond. We might understand our triggers but responding with choice rather than reacting happens when our bodies are in a state of safety and readiness.

Pay attention to what softens you. What happens before the moment your thoughts are calm, you experience internal stillness or have more awareness of your body?

These are moments of felt safety and they open the door to embodied insight and the shifts your system is ready for.

Movement that comes from safety is healing.

When your nervous system feels safe, your body moves naturally - in a way that is right for it.

This is something horses show us so clearly. Watching their movement teaches us about safety, rhythm and self-directed action.

…. the work continues to expand….

🌿✨ Have you experienced one of our ROUND PEN SESSIONS? ✨🌿

❋ Round pen sessions are a unique part of what we do at E&A, and something we absolutely love offering.
❋ These sessions are a place where connection, intuition and curiosity meet.
❋ Participants often experience profound insights and transformative experiences ⋆ the sessions can act like doorways to healing and deeper alignment.
❋ They are a space to receive targeted guidance from the horses about your personal situation ⋆ the only catch is you have to be ready to see it.

༺✦༻

❋ To be ready for a round pen experience, both horses and human needs to have stepped through what we call the invitational layering process, something unique to the model of equine facilitated work.
❋ This is a beautiful process where you are mindfully guided by your facilitator through a series of exercises with the horses ⋆ into a practice of deep listening – to self, to horse and to nature.

༺✦༻

❋ If you would like to begin your journey to a round pen experience, send us a DM ✦ or join us at one of our ReWilding Workshops on October 4th & 5th ⋆ these sessions are sure to make an appearance! 🌙🐴🌿

Sometimes things can feel like they’re getting in the way of the life we truly yearn for. This can leave us feeling like we’re losing a constant uphill battle again and again. Oftentimes people say, I’m fighting my anxiety or I’m battling with depression, I’m sick of feeling this way or I just want this situation to go away.

𝑯𝒐𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒑 𝒖𝒔 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒅𝒐𝒎 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒘𝒆’𝒓𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉. 🍂🍁🍃

Often the piece of us that we are fighting wants to be seen or expressed in a healthy way. It carries an innate wisdom that might be trying to protect us, care for us or crack us open in a new way so we can fully experience our aliveness.

Horses help us to uncover the wisdom in these hard to bear aspects of self and hold an unconditional space for them while we learn to do that for ourselves. 🤎

Hey! Are you remembering to feel your emotions? Do you take time to acknowledge what is going on for you? Who do you have in your life that can sit with you and hold space?

In our fast paced world that is concerned with moving forward, achievement and being your best self there is little space to acknowledge sadness, grief or other big emotions. We are trained to see ‘moving on’ or ‘getting through it’ as being beneficial or coping well.

In truth, we can’t actually grow until we practice integrating our emotions into our lives and until we acknowledge them which means… feeling them and being with them.

This is a gentle reminder that we don’t need to feel happy all the time and that it is okay to feel sad, lonely and down. You matter, even when you’re feeling these things. 👋👋👋
