Equine Facilitated Learning
An immersive horse experience guiding and supporting your health and wellness journey
Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) is a client-led modality supported by the wisdom and compassion of horses. As highly sensitive and attuned beings, horses are able to connect with us on a deep level that feels both safe and expansive. Horses can feel our emotions, our nervous system state, and our thoughts. As non-judgmental beings, they allow us to process our needs in a safe way to allow for new insights, opportunities, and releases.
Feeling Ready?
How Does it Work?
As herd animals, horses are able to feel the emotions, physical state, and mental state of their herd-mates. Horses rely on this information to know the health of the overall herd and of individuals. Feeling one another and supporting processing and regulation for each other is vital for survival and thriving.
This ability to feel and sense others is not limited to their fellow horses; they can feel our emotional, physical, and mental state too! Whether you express it aloud or simply stand in their presence, horses can feel a lot about who you are and where you are seeking support.
As non-verbal beings, they cannot talk it through with you, so they hold space and show you through body language how your particular need is impacting your life. As they act out your need, this allows for you to process in a different way - it gets it out of your system and you watch and interact with them. This creates the opportunity to clear your need or problem and in turn, solutions have the ability to arise. The horses then support and show you what these new solutions can look like.
I remain with you during the entire session to provide verbal processing support where needed, and to be a translator for the horses.
