At every stage of life, whether you're navigating a life transition or seeking healing for physical symptoms, pain, or illness, the journey towards wholeness begins with self-awareness.
Healing Horses specializes in two key areas: guiding you through pivotal moments of self-discovery during life transitions and offering holistic healing for those experiencing physical challenges. Our approach is rooted in scientific understanding and somatic awareness, harnessing the powerful connection between humans and horses to foster deep, lasting transformation.
What we do...
Healing Horses offers a unique, nature-based journey that bridges you to your inner self. Through carefully designed experiences with horses, you can unearth hidden strengths, release old beliefs, and discover your purpose.
Whether you're a high school student stepping into a vast world, someone in midlife reassessment, or dealing with chronic pain or illness, our program is tailored to support your specific needs.
Our experiences are perfect for individuals, groups, and families seeking clarity, connection, and healing. We focus on providing a renewed sense of excitement and possibilities for those in transition, and a pathway to physical and emotional well-being for those in need of healing.
Science behind the connection
The healing power of horses is profound and scientifically supported. Horses can heal both our body and mind.
Scientific research has shown that the electromagnetic field of the human heart extends over a meter away from the body. The electromagnetic field of a horse's heart is five times greater, creating a powerful sphere that envelops and interacts with us.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) data shows that horses may be able to synchronize our brain state, helping us achieve a state of coherence where the body can function more effectively.
This might explain why simply being around horses can significantly enhance our physical well-being, reduce stress, and promote healing.
What can I expect?
Healing Horses rests in the lush mountains of San Isidro de Heredia, on the fringes of Parque Nacional Braulio Carrillo, one of Costa Rica's most expansive national parks.
Horses have a special way of connecting with us that goes beyond what conversations can achieve. Their large presence elevates us to a heightened state of mindfulness. They touch parts of us, like our energy and feelings, in a unique way that brings clarity and hope to our present moment.
Through a carefully designed sequence of experiences with horses, you will navigate life's challenges and transitions. These experiences often lead to a stronger bond with your true self, a clearer sense of purpose, and a renewed sense of empowerment. Whether you're facing uncertainty, fear, or physical pain, these encounters can bring answers and set the stage for a more meaningful journey.
Our program is experiential and requires no prior knowledge of horses, as we work with them from the ground.
Common reasons people seek an Equine Gestaltist include empowerment, life transitions, reinvention of self, trauma, grief, physical pain, family dynamics, and more.
What is Equine Gestalt™?
Gestalt theory suggests that, much like the vibrant pieces in a kaleidoscope, every part of Self we develop over time — shaped by both positive and negative experiences — is vital to our unique, present self.
Rather than analyzing or diagnosing behaviors, Gestalt emphasizes the body’s crucial role in storing trauma and unresolved emotions. By tuning into our physical sensations, we can uncover old emotional burdens, and through embodied experiences, release them and return to a state of wholeness.
Horses, as prey animals with an innate ability to sense danger, are finely attuned to subtle electromagnetic frequencies, including those of our emotions and thoughts. While humans often overlook these nuances, horses do not.
The Equine Gestaltist™ harnesses this sensitivity, partnering with horses to create experiences grounded in somatic awareness and embodied experiences, guiding individuals to overcome both emotional and physical dis-ease and to restore harmony in their lives.
