About this service
The focus of Equine Facilitated Wellness (EFW) sessions is healing, growth and empowerment. Although an equine facilitated wellness session is not psychotherapy or counselling it is a learning experience that promotes self awareness; social and communication skills; and tools for coping with personal challenges, decision making and problem solving. EFW is based on research that suggests being in nature and connecting with animals is not only a gentle and effective way to foster self discovery and healing but that horses actually support that healing. EFW is currently used all over the world in therapeutic work with war veterans, people with autism and traumatized children. While EFW works well alone, it is also used in partnership with mental health professionals.
