✨✨✨Equine Reiki Course ✨✨✨✨

This Equine Reiki course is about learning Reiki and learning the horse.
You’ll be guided through:
🐴 The principles of Reiki energy healing
🐴 How Reiki supports relaxation, balance, recovery, and emotional wellbeing in horses
🐴 Horse-led Reiki — allowing the horse full choice and consent
🐴 How to ground yourself and regulate your own energy before working with a horse
Alongside Reiki, you’ll also learn:
🐴 How to read and understand horses
🐴 Recognising body language, stress signals, and subtle communication
🐴 How to approach, pause, and retreat safely and respectfully
🐴 Why horses respond so strongly to calm presence, energy, and intention
Horses don’t just feel touch — they feel: • Energy
• Nervous systems
• Emotional states
• Body language
This course teaches you to slow down, soften, observe, and listen, so Reiki becomes a shared experience rather than something being done to the horse.
Perfect for:
✔ Horse owners wanting to support their horse holistically
✔ Reiki practitioners wishing to work with horses
✔ Those wanting deeper trust and connection on the ground and under saddle
✔ Anyone considering becoming an Equine Reiki Therapist
No force.
No fixing.
Just calm, consent, and connection.

🐴 EQUINE REIKI COURSE
Learn Reiki properly — for horses, for life
Equine Reiki is the practice of Reiki with horses, and it is far more than placing hands or “sending energy”.
This course teaches you how to practise Reiki in a way horses understand, accept, and respond to.
On this Equine Reiki course, you will learn: • what Reiki is and how it works specifically with horses
• how horses experience Reiki differently to humans
• how to offer Reiki in a hands-off, horse-led way
• how to ground, centre, and regulate yourself before and during sessions
• how to stay energetically clear and present
• how to recognise when Reiki is being received — and when it’s not
• how to approach, pause, and retreat as part of Reiki practice
• how to let the horse guide the session rather than forcing an outcome
Reiki is a practice.
It teaches awareness, patience, presence, and energetic responsibility.
Through learning Equine Reiki, you also develop: • sensitivity to subtle changes in horses
• confidence in your own felt sense and intuition
• the ability to remain calm in challenging situations
• a deeper, quieter connection with your own horse
• a skill you can use for life, with any horse
This course is suitable whether you want to: – support your own horse
– deepen your understanding of horses through Reiki
– add Reiki to your existing horse work
– begin a path towards offering Equine Reiki professionally

For those feeling called to learn Reiki — whether for personal growth or professional practice:
✨ Reiki Level 1 - Start your journey
✨ Reiki Level 2 - Therapist level.
✨ Reiki Level 3 (Master / Teacher)
Courses are taught with care, integrity and ongoing support.

🐴 Equine Reiki Training 🐴
If you dream of working as an Equine Reiki Therapist, this is where your journey can begin. I first learned Reiki to support my own nervous horse, and saw how powerful gentle, respectful energy work can be. Learn to support horses safely and compassionately — and start building a fulfilling path working with them.

🎶 Soundbaths 🎶
Group soundbath experiences using sound and vibration to calm the nervous system, quiet the mind and support deep relaxation.

🌿 Outdoor Pop-Up Soundbaths 🌿
Seasonal outdoor sessions in nature — gentle meditations and soundbaths held in a beautiful space with a private Stone Circle, allowing you to ground, breathe and reconnect under the open sky.

🌿 Retreats 🌿
Time away from everyday life — creating space to rest, heal, reflect and reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.
I’m here to walk alongside you — whether you’re beginning your healing journey, deepening your spiritual path, or simply needing a place to rest and feel supported.
Coming Later in 2026 ✨ Trauma-Informed Support
A private 2-hour session combining therapeutic conversation, gentle yoga movement (no experience needed), and a Reiki session.

Talk to heal the MIND
Move to release tension in the BODY
Reiki to restore and support the SPIRIT

A safe, compassionate space to let go of trauma, grief, stress or anxiety, and learn techniques to cope in times of stress, at your pace, with nothing to do but be supported

Happy NewYear 🍻👏✌️| 2026

Let’s start 2026 by truly appreciating our horses.
By slowing down, listening, and learning to respond differently to them — not reacting, not labelling, but understanding.
Horses are always communicating. When we let them be heard, when we give them time and space, confidence grows… for the horse and the rider.
This year can be a confident year.
Built on trust, kindness, and clear communication.
Supporting the horse first, always.
Here’s to a gentle, confident 2026 for horse and rider 🤍🐎

🐴✨ The year of the horse 🐴✨
Let’s move forward with our horses — with confidence, curiosity, and kindness.
Let’s stop labelling horses as bad, crazy, or explosive. Horses don’t do things “from nowhere.” There are always signs… whispers before the shout. We just have to learn how to see them.
When we take the time to truly understand the horse — their body language, their stress signals, their history — everything changes. Behaviour isn’t the problem; it’s communication.
This year, let’s choose a gentler way.
✔️ Horse first
✔️ Rider supported
✔️ Confidence built, not forced
✔️ Pressure replaced with understanding
When the horse feels safe, the rider feels confident, that’s where real partnership begins.
Let’s make this the year we listen, learn, and move forward together 🤍

A huge shout out to one of my incredible clients 💛
Watching her journey has been truly inspiring.
She hasn’t just changed her riding — she’s completely transformed her approach to horses. She’s learned when to approach, when to retreat, when to soften, and when to give space. She’s let go of the traditional “keep going, keep the pressure on until they do it” mindset and instead listened to what this horse was actually telling her.
This horse is highly sensitive. She had a tough start before coming to her, and for years she was labelled a “bad horse” due to rearing and bucking. But she was never bad — she was scared. Living in fight, flight… and sometimes both.
By my customer changing herself, her timing, her energy, and her expectations, everything has shifted. This client chose to learn, to reflect, and to do a complete 360 — and the results speak for themselves.
I’m so proud of you for being brave enough to question, adapt, and trust a different way. Your horse is finally being heard — and that’s where true confidence and connection begin 💫

I am really saddened by the horse world 🌎

Horses are the most gentle, kind, spiritual and giving beings on this planet. Even when they are confused or scared, they still try to give. They try to understand us. They try to do what we ask. They try so hard to please, instead of being allowed to simply be horses.

Yet I still see hitting, whipping, pushing, pulling, tying down. I see fear being labelled as stubbornness. I see distress being called attitude. If a horse finally says “no” because they are scared, they are called nasty, dangerous, or a problem.

If someone walked down the street whipping a dog because it was pulling, the world would explode with outrage, and rightly so. The RSPCA would be called instantly. The media would be on it. Yet somehow, horses are expected to tolerate it. Kicking, shouting, whipping. Normalised.

I cannot watch it anymore, not even at local shows. I see children, simply copying what they have been taught. Whip to make them obey. Kick, kick, kick to make them go, saw on the mouth to make them back up. No one has explained what the horse is feeling. No one has shown them another way.

Horses are just as intelligent as dogs. They feel just as deeply. They deserve to be understood.

This is why I train. Not just to help horses, but to help people see another way. Partnership instead of pressure. Connection instead of control.

It does not have to be like this.

Be the human your horse feels safe with.
