    What's Somatic Coaching & Support through body stories?

     

    Helping people get in touch with their bodies a little more through somatic awareness. Horses like it when we do that, because they live in their bodies more than we do.

     

    Assisting horses who have trauma held within their bodies, is another aspect to somatic coaching and support. Developing relationships through attunement and felt safety.

     

    It's about helping both people and horses feel safe, connected and social.

     

    When we're anxious, angry or frozen inside, we can support our body story and that of our horses. We then find more joy and aliveness, and so do our horses.
