Spirit Of The Phoenix- Equine Therapy

No glass ceilings!

We don't believe in limiting people, so we will tailor the sessions to include as much or as little as necessary.

'It got rid of my anxiety today, I feel much calmer now. I'd like to work with horses again'

Each participant will receive an introduction to horse handling, have the chance to groom and handle the horses individually in a series of what we term 'pre flight checks'. These enable everyone to be safe around the horses:

Leading

Moving the back and front end of the horse out of your space

Back up

Then, dependant upon the groups general ability we will move on to activities including, but not limited to, any of the following which are graded upon the ability of the individual-

Weaving through cones

Negotiating obstacles

jumping a horse on line

Liberty work / hooking on

It is important to note that these can and will be tailored to the group leaders wishes and any goals that the group or individual may have set for the day.

'it was phenomenal watching the way that people came out of themselves'

If we see a group multiple times, we will develop their horse handling skills to an advanced a level as the participants wish to go.

Natures Laws 12 Week programme

'My experience ding this for the first time was amazing, I loved every moment and found it gave me something to look forward to as well. It helped me be aware and see thing within myself that I maybe had disregarded as not important. Although the session is done in a group, it is only a small group and you still get the one to one time needed. I found being outside with nature more helpful than sitting in a room talking to someone, the sessions weren't full on and was just the right length of time. Would recommend this to anyone!'

'Being With Spirit of the Phoenix has been amazing absolutely loved it!'

'I really enjoyed Spirit of the Phoenix as it helped my mental health issues and I found new skills as well as coping ways to manage everyday life. Being with the horses is very relaxing and Naomi is great'

'I have enjoyed every single session of this programme. It helped me to work on my anxiety and social withdrawal issue. I was looking forward to each session and felt excited each time I was there.

Counselling or therapy do not have to be restricted to one to one or room, group based sessions. The open air, the beautiful horses and the ambiance of the setting provide an amazing start for the 12 weeks journey of growth and have achieved'
