Join me on this episode of Taking Back the Reins as I delve into my transformative journey during my second week of training at Somatic International in London. After recovering from foot surgery, I embarked on this immersive experience, discovering profound insights that have reshaped my approach to equine facilitated learning.
I recount my days in London, navigating intensive training sessions with Somatic International, renowned for its structured and professional approach. Reflecting on my connection to horses, particularly a significant equine companion named Harry, I unravel how my experiences with traumatized horses unknowingly introduced me to somatic practices, fostering a deeper understanding of body awareness and healing.
Throughout the training, we dived into the intricate workings of the somatic nervous system, exploring the nuances of fight, flight, freeze, and more. Our charismatic instructor, Gavi, shared wisdom rooted in the teachings of pioneers like Peter Levine and Gabor Maté, enlightening us about our innate abilities to manage trauma responses.
What became evident was my heightened attunement to the body, a skill honed through equine interaction—which allowed me to grasp somatic principles more profoundly than many others in the training. This alignment between somatic practices and equine facilitated learning struck me as a potent tool for guiding individuals through trauma release.
As a graduate of the first year, I've already witnessed the profound impact of applying somatic techniques in my sessions. I've helped individuals experience remarkable releases from their trapped trauma, unlocking a pathway to empowerment and healing.
Join me as I share how this transformative journey has enriched my work in equine facilitated learning, offering insights into somatic training's powerful role in supporting individuals on their healing journey. Discover how these tools can be harnessed to reclaim control, release trauma, and stride towards personal empowerment.
This episode is a concise yet powerful exploration of somatic training's integration into equine facilitated learning, offering actionable insights for listeners seeking to take charge of their healing journey.

In this heartfelt episode of Taking Back the Reins, my emotions soar as I reveal the thrilling news—I've finally exchanged on our forever home! Embarking on a journey that traces back to nearly two decades of dreaming, the episode unfolds the saga of perseverance, resilience, and unwavering determination.
I recount a year-long quest, exploring over 30 properties across different corners of the country. The Golden Triangle’s pricey real estate posed formidable hurdles, making it seem nearly impossible to secure a piece of land. Despite encountering setbacks, including complexities with bank loans and the loss of desired properties, our unwavering resolve persisted.
Navigating the intricacies of acquiring a community project house, facing rejection, and wrestling with feelings of not belonging in a community, I share raw, poignant moments. The adversities faced while running my business in a community that initially didn't embrace us serves as a testament to our resilience.
With the exchange now complete, I'm revelling in the joy of having our dream finally materialize. The excitement of owning a piece of land outright, devoid of limitations, ushers in a new era for their business and personal lives.
This journey is just beginning because we have so much work to do on the property and we have huge plans for events, retreats and more at our new forever home for The Way of The Horse.
From recounting the struggles of fitting into a community to the hope for a fresh start in a new neighbourhood, this episode encapsulates the rollercoaster of emotions and experiences encountered on the path to realizing a lifelong dream.
Tune in to witness the power of determination, the resilience needed to overcome obstacles, and the sheer joy of achieving a 21-year-old dream. Join us as we celebrate this triumph, a testament to the mantra: never let go of your dreams.
