About

Welcome to Mindful Horse - Metung, East Gippsland

I am passionate about horses and being outdoors amongst nature. I feel extremely privileged to be able to work in this setting with these incredible creatures who support, create and teach us so much about ourselves.

Horses have been part of my life for as long as I can remember.  I started riding from a very young age and spent most of my youth on horseback exploring the neighbouring bushlands where I grew up on the outskirts of Melbourne.  I have always known how special and intuitive horses are and this has led me to pursue formal training into the world of Equine Assisted Learning (EAL).  I can now combine my love of horses with supporting people to experiment with new ways of being, thinking and behaving.

In 2018, I attended the Equine Psychotherapy Institute in Daylesford, Victoria and undertook Training Intensives in Equine Assisted Learning (EAL). This training is an innovative personal development and social - emotional learning approach, that is founded on counselling and psychotherapy microskills and horse wisdom.

Mindful Horse operates under a strict set of ethical and professional guidelines set by the Equine Psychotherapy Institute to ensure a high degree of safety for clients and the horses. By undertaking this specialist training, I can support social-emotional learning, personal development and professional development.

In 2024, I completed my Equine Partnered Practitioner training through the Equine Partnered Academy (EPA) in South Australia. This training has now taken me deeper into this work through learning to support, witness and guide with intention.

Mindful Horse is located in the beautiful East Gippsland town of Metung, situated within the heart of the Gippsland Lakes system.
