Equanimity

Equanimity Equanimity: outdoor therapy: nature helping people. I offer a blend of counselling, ecotherapy, equine and other animal-assisted therapy.

I’m based on a beautiful farm which is managed as a nature reserve, working alongside a small herd of horses and farm livestock. I am passionate about the effects on people of nature and its other-than-humans. I work outdoors all year round, with adults and young people of 11+ years, individually or in small groups (up to 6 people). I have a tranquil therapy room in a field but most sessions take place outside. The work is very much tailored to your needs, to help for example with your self-confidence, anxiety or fear issues, self-development, adhd or autism related issues, communication skills, developing care and self-care skills, social skills, and personal or work-related relationship skills.

As many of you are aware we have a dream of taking carriage rides from .stables with our 2 Clydesdales Freddie and Harry

Picture this

The rhythmic clop-clop of heavy hooves echoes along the winding country lane as Freddie and Harry, our magnificent Clydesdales, pull the carriage with effortless grace. Their powerful muscles ripple beneath their gleaming coats, their gentle eyes scanning the rolling fields bathed in golden sunlight.

The scent of wildflowers drifts on the breeze, mingling with the crisp country air as the wheels glide over the earth. Birds call from the hedgerows, and a curious fox pauses in the distance to watch these gentle giants at work. As the carriage sways in time with their steady gait, there’s a sense of peace—of being transported to a time when these horses were the heartbeat of the land.

With every turn of the wheels, they remind us of their heritage, their quiet strength, and their place in history.

This is more than just a carriage ride; it’s a journey back to a world where Clydesdales stood proud, and with your help, they will again.

💛 Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. Let’s give these beautiful horses the future they deserve!

Donate today & be part of their journey!

Exam time wisdom 🦉

🧘🏽‍♂️😴YOGA SEQUENCE & BREATHWORK FOR BETTER SLEEP
Late night studying, screen time, overwhelm, anxiety, and worry can cause teens to get little or poor quality sleep during exam season. Relax before bed with this calming breathing technique and short 6- minute yoga sequence to prepare the mind & body for a rejuvenating good night’s sleep.

🫁THREE-PART BREATH: (Calms the mind and nervous system; relieves stress)
-Sit with a straight spine, drop shoulders away from the ears
-Place hand just below the ribcage on your belly and the other hand on your chest to trace the breath.
-INHALE through the nose, filling the belly/lungs first with air, then the ribcage, finally the chest (collarbones should rise).
-Pause and hold the breath for a second or two longer, EXHALE out the nose (or mouth), allowing the air to release down from your chest first, then the ribcage, and finally the belly.
-Repeat a few cycles till you start to feel more relaxed. Focus on the gentle flow of breath through the chest, ribs, and belly.
