Wisdom of the Brumby

Hi everyone 🌿

I’m currently in my third year of my Master’s in Gestalt Therapy and am seeking a participant (not a friend or acquaintance) to engage in 4–6 therapy sessions as part of my course requirements 🌱

As part of the assessment process, two of the sessions will need to be video recorded for supervision and evaluation purposes 🌼
These sessions are offered free of charge, with the understanding that you are able to commit to a minimum of four sessions 🌾

Please note that there are specific criteria required for participation, and I will discuss this with you prior to commencing. It’s also important to acknowledge that I am a student practitioner and not yet fully qualified, and these sessions will be conducted within a learning framework 🌸
Sessions will be held in North Brisbane, likely in a private space within a local library 🌿

If this feels aligned for you, or you’d like to learn more, please feel free to reach out.
Kindly,
Danielle ✨

🐴 NDIS Capacity Available – Support Worker (Moorina / Moreton Bay Region)

I currently have capacity to support one new NDIS participant through my practice Wisdom of the Brumby.

Participants can choose between two support options depending on their needs and goals:

🌿 Option 1 – Nature-Based Support at Wisdom of the Brumby
Sessions take place in a peaceful rural setting in Moorina, where participants can spend time with my gentle herd of rescued Australian Brumbies. Many participants find that time with horses supports emotional regulation, confidence, and connection. Activities may include grooming, observation, nature walks, and creative expression.

🚗 Option 2 – Community-Based Support (Off-Site)
I also offer community-based support, assisting participants with activities such as community access, attending appointments, building social confidence, and developing independence.

📅 Current availability:
• Thursdays
• Alternate Wednesdays
• Alternate Mondays

About me:
✔ 4 years’ experience as a support worker
✔ Bachelor of Nutrition Science
✔ Graduate Certificate in Gestalt Therapy
✔ Currently studying a Master’s in Gestalt Therapy
✔ Certified Equine-Assisted Learning Practitioner

📍 Moorina – supporting the Moreton Bay region

Support coordinators and plan managers are welcome to reach out if you have a participant who may benefit from nature-based or community support.

If you would like to learn more or discuss suitability, please feel free to send me a message.

The women who achieve their goals don’t do it because everything in life went their way.

They don’t do it because they had constant luck, endless support, or a smooth path in front of them.

They do it because they refuse to give up on themselves — no matter how difficult things become.

They wake up exhausted,
yet they still show up.

They feel fear and uncertainty,
yet they take the next step anyway.

They fail — sometimes quietly, sometimes visibly —
but they keep moving forward.

While others wait for motivation to arrive,
they choose to act without it.
Not because it’s easy.
But because believing in themselves matters more than comfort.

And that choice — made again and again —
is what carries them through. 🖤

Many of the people who find their way to Wisdom of the Brumby are feeling:
• overwhelmed or burnt out
• disconnected from their bodies
• anxious, flat, or stuck
• unsure how to regulate when life feels like “too much”
My role is not to diagnose or treat —
it’s to support capacity building, awareness, and practical skills for everyday life.
I work with:
🌿 teens navigating big emotions and identity
🌿 women and mothers carrying invisible loads
🌿 midlife and menopause transitions
🌿 NDIS participants seeking gentle, meaningful support
If you feel drawn to a slower, more embodied way of learning and growing — this space may be for you.
You’re welcome to comment, message me, or simply stay connected as I share more over the coming weeks 🤍

One of the most common questions I’m asked is:

“What actually happens in an equine-assisted session?”

It’s not riding.
It’s not forcing interaction.
And it’s not about “fixing” anything.

Sessions are choice-led and experiential, often involving:

• quiet observation of the brumby herd
• guided reflection and conversation
• learning to notice body sensations and emotional cues
• simple practices that support nervous system regulation
• building confidence, boundaries, and self-trust

The horses offer honest, non-judgemental feedback — helping people learn about presence, pacing, and connection in a way words alone often can’t.

It’s gentle.
It’s grounded.
And it meets people where they are.
If this sparks curiosity, you’re welcome to reach out 🌿

🌿 This page has been a little quieter than usual, not because the work has stopped, but because it has been deepening.

Wisdom of the Brumby has grown alongside my own journey of learning, listening, and refining how I support people in ways that feel ethical, grounded, and genuinely helpful. 🌿

At the heart of my work is connection, connection to self, to the body, to the nervous system, and to the natural world.

Through gentle, equine-assisted and nature-based sessions, I support teens and women to slow down, build emotional awareness, and develop practical self-regulation skills that can be carried back into everyday life.

If you’ve been following quietly for a while, or you’re new here welcome 🤍

More to come soon.

These two have such a special bond, pretty certain they are siblings. They were trapped together in Coffs Harbour and have been with me for 2 years now. I am full of gratitude, it’s such a privilege to learn from these sentient beings 🥰
