We offer unique healing experiences for You, working with Melisa Pearce's Equine Gestalt Coaching Method® and partnering with our horses.
And what is Gestalt Coaching, you’re wondering?
“Gestalt” is a German word having no direct translation, but loosely meaning ‘wholeness’, 'completed', or ‘flowing into form’. Gestalt Coaching is a therapeutic modality which guides a person and helps them find the very best outcome for their unique situation, and move towards their very best path forward.

Why horses?
Humans have been on this earth for less than 6 million years, whereas horses have been around for 55 million years, so they have a great deal more practice at this "Life" business!
As herbivores and prey animals, horses will generally prefer to flee to avoid confrontation, and to this end, their survival skills, such as being fully in the present moment, a heightened sensitivity to their environment, and a keen awareness of the energies of other beings, have been key to preserving the horse for all these years. These survival skills, are the very skills that allow horses to partner with us as clairsentient beings in this work.
Humans who have survived trauma can find themselves behaving like a prey animal, ready to fight, flight or freeze. Horses provide us with a connection to the natural world, they will teach us to be grounded and present, they can act as a metaphor for our human blocks, and they encourage us to be congruent and speak our truth.
But the horses' "super-power", is their unique ability to raise our emotional vibration levels. A peaceful, contented horse will have vibrational levels of around 500mHz, which is where serenity is measured on the Emotional Vibrational Scale. Most humans move through life in a non-stop neurotic state, and on a good day, our vibrational levels peak at 225mHz.
Wow!
The Horse
Where in this wide world can
man find nobility without pride,
friendship without envy or beauty
without vanity? Here, where
grace is laced with muscle, and
strength by gentleness confined.
He serves without servility; he has
fought without enmity. There is
nothing so powerful, nothing less
violent, there is nothing so quick,
nothing more patient.
Our past has been borne on
his back. All our history is his
industry; we are his heirs; he
our inheritance.

Who is this for?
Everybody! We all need a boost sometimes, a burst of positivity, a personal cheerleader, if you will.
Sometimes, our life can feel like we are stuck, spinning our wheels in all sorts of stickiness, be it quicksand, mud, or treacle, and a helping hand flinging a lifebuoy in our direction, can haul us out of the mire. HorseWISH can be your life raft.
And if you have gone through a life change, a trauma, or any type of past incident that has affected you deeply, HorseWISH can help you to identify and clear away the negative influences from any unfinished business in your life, and show you a path forwards, upwards into joy, peace and wholeness.
Pain from a long-held trauma can drag us back into that darkness, or similarly, anxiety concerning future events can escalate to the point of hindering us from further life adventures.
Gestalt Equine Coaching can transform that “stuckness” into spontaneity… flowing into true form!
