Heart of The Horse

In case you hadn't guessed, I adore horses. They have been a part of my life since I was a young girl. I have also in some ways been helping others since that time as well. It's just who I am. Over the years I have formalised my healing credentials in addition to a vast array of processes, tools, and skills. This gives me a diverse and unique healing repertoire. I have been trained by the Victorian Equine Psychotherapy Institute and I'm certified in Equine Assisted Learning where we harness the wisdom of horses, in a facilitated environment, to help people explore aspects of their lives that are causing concern or even distress. This certification is highly regarded and considered the most rigorous one that can be undertaken in Australia. My certification with horses combined with the healing processes and skills that I have cultivated in private practice for the last decade has led me to create an equine-based healing experience quite unlike any other. I have a myriad of tools & techniques that can be used to help you be the best version of yourself. These can consist of reflexology, reiki, energy balancing, yoga, meditations and guided healing visualisations. Whatever process or tool I use may help to change the neuroplasticity of your brain and often assists in releasing outdated beliefs that can be negatively impacting your life. Before embarking on this work as my main livlihood, I spent a 5 year period assisting clients at a holistic residential wellness rehabilitation centre in Daylesford. The clientele were people who have had to cope with the most extreme life conditions & personal traumas. Sharing the healing journey to help empower these clients, has enabled me to build a highly effective repertoire of skills to draw on in during our horse healing experience together. A combination of all of these learnings allows me to bring to you a fresh and unique way to navigate this thing called LIFE. In early 2019, I followed another of my passions and whilst on an extended stay in India I did a 300hr Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training. Many aspects from these learnings I bring towards my sessions with the horses. Kundalini Yoga is wonderful for moving energy, working with and noticing the breath, connecting with the body, moving stagnicity and finding calmness within. It is incredibly different to equine assisted learning but the outcome is similar to what the horses assist us with. If you are interested in Kundalini Yoga you can find my classes In Woodend and around the Macedon Ranges on FB Page Kundalini Yoga with Rachael Check our facebook In November 2023 I certified as a soul purpose life coach with the Dharma Institute. This has been to date the biggest investment I have made in my own professional development and I am so delighted I listened to the whispers of my own soul to pursue this certification. Many of the elements incorporated into this training I had already woven into my healing sessions and work with the horses organically, but this comprehensive course helped me know myself better than ever and has provided incredible new tools to share with others who are also seeking more in alignment in their lives. This work is utterly transformational. Rather than coming for a one off session that are outlined in the experiences pages, these coaching offerings, that you choose, have specific timeframes for you to dive deep into YOU. We work closely together for usually 1,2 or 3 months and you will get to know yourself deeper than you can imagine. I love these sacred relationships that we create and the life changing results that unfold. For 10 years I had my own business as a birth doula and these intimate but professional relationships were usually between 5-7 months long and I know how beneficial and impactful that is for true and lasting change to take place. It was really coaching, just ahead of its time. When we meet in person or online we spend time exploring your gifts and talents, work through frameworks to help you understand your unique blueprint in relation to the way you want to be of service in the world. We share healing processes, meditations and find ways for you to tune into your intuitive superpower. You will find more about these packages on the soul purpose life coaching page. In 2024, I have started to share the horse wisdom transmissions that I have been channelling from the herd for the last couple of years. I am currently creating a healing orientated book with these beautiful words, amazing images to help you feel the essence of these incredible beings and lots of healing tools to support you on your unique journey.
