HEALING
BY HORSES

About the method

Horses are masters at reading our energy. They don’t need words to understand what is truly going on inside us. The Healing by Horses method uses this natural ability of horses for deep work with the subconscious, traumas, and emotional blocks.

Why come to my ranch?

I had the honor of studying directly with Laurie Jansen in the Netherlands, who is among the top therapists in the world. Her approach fascinated me with its gentleness and, at the same time, its immense power. Today I bring this unique teaching to our ranch. At my ranch, we combine the peaceful energy of our nature with the wisdom of my horses to help you find the balance you are looking for.

“Horses do not heal us by teaching us something, but by allowing us to be ourselves again.”

Why horses?

Horses are not just majestic animals — they are “bio-detectors.” For millions of years they survived in the wild thanks to learning to instantly read even the slightest sign of tension in their surroundings. Their heart is approximately five times larger than a human’s, and their electromagnetic field is so strong that it can influence our heart rhythm.

When you enter the proximity of a horse, its presence naturally begins to calm your nervous system. Horses cannot pretend; they immediately react to subconscious blocks and reveal your true inner state.

Horses heal the human soul through unique biological, energetic, and psychological mechanisms.

How do horses heal our soul?

Equine therapy takes place on several levels that you can experience with us:

1. Reduction of cortisol levels: Simply breathing near a horse lowers the stress hormone and induces a feeling of safety.

2. Processing emotions without words: Sometimes traumas or pain are too deep to talk about. The horse works with your energy and helps gently release these blocks.

3. Through energetic connection, suppressed emotions and old traumas from the past are opened.

4. In the presence of horses, long-held emotions such as tears and anger often surface. The horse absorbs and grounds these energetic discharges without punishing the client.

5. Deep non-verbal connection restores a person’s sense of belonging and trust.

How does Healing by Horses work?

This therapy combines work in the present moment, energetic healing, and deep emotional release.

1. Attunement – the goal is to slow the breath and shift from analytical thinking into body awareness. A short playful exercise to switch off thoughts.

2. Conversation and intention – if you wish, we sensitively discuss the reason for your visit, which the energy will focus on during the healing.

3. Entering the horses’ space – together we enter a safe space among content, grazing horses. The horses immediately respond to your presence, and the first physical signs of release in the horses may already appear (yawning, chewing, lowering the head). You receive feedback on your current state and the emotions you are experiencing.

4. Energetic healing – the actual healing session, during which you comfortably lie on a lounger while the horses begin to work. This healing lasts approximately 40–60 minutes. The horse’s strong electromagnetic field and energy trigger the release of energetic blocks in the body. In this phase you experience deep relief, which may be accompanied by tears, deep breathing, or a sense of heaviness falling away from you. The horses help absorb excess tension and return the person to a state of absolute stability and inner peace.

5. Closing the session – lasts about 15 minutes. It is an expression of gratitude to the horses for their energy and assistance. At the end there is a short conversation and feedback between the client and the therapist.
