Equine Wisdom for Wellbeing grew from my own healing journey and the healing wisdom inherent to sharing experience, relational mentoring of horses and becoming present and connected with nature.

I have expertise in rural mental health and suicide prevention.

In community mental health I worked with clients who have experienced the impacts of complex trauma and suicidal ideation.

In private practice I work with a variety of clients motivated to heal from past trauma, develop greater insight and self-awarness of patterns that no longer serve, want to learn how to regulate their emotions and nervous system and create peace and wellbeing.

I have experience teaching and training students from psychology, social work, human services, Peer Practitioners and Community Mental Health Practitioners.

I am devoted to continally learning and teaching in the spaces of trauma injury, somatic and experiential approaches to psychotherapy, equine assisted psychotherapy, breathwork and wisdom and spirtual traditions of healing and personal transformation.

Testimonials

Hear from people whose healing journeys we have guided
Bridget provides a safe environment to explore the inner world. She exudes warmth and authenticity throughout the Equine Assisted Therapy experience. The horses are majestic and command your presence and with Bridget's skill and support I was given time and space to reflect, assess and move forward, re-meeting a sense of peace and tranquility. Many thanks to you Bridget, and to your equine companions.

Client

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
I highly recommend Bridget and her horses. I felt welcomed and relaxed when I arrived, and Bridget made it clear and easy to understand how the session would run. I accessed some deep emotions inside that I didn't know were sitting there and developed strategies going forward to remove old negative patterns. Incorporating the horses in the session meant I was able to watch and look at the horses and that gave me a sense of grounding and balance. During the session I had the opportunity to interact with the horses. This grew my confidence and courage in ways that could not have been done without the horses. A simply wonderful session, that while delved deep, left me feeling uplifted and empowered.

Client

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy
I felt immediately comfortable with Bridget who is passionate about helping people with a healing and non-judgmental energy. The property is such a tranquil environment and combined with the horses and Bridget, creates a beautiful, powerful experience that I 100% recommend.
