Tina

I am a 66 year old Wife, mother and grandmother. My life thus so far has been full of the highs and lows , laughter sorrows , I’ve often thought of myself as a guest in someone else’s life, a vivid imagination and the road less travelled will often find others like myself struggling in limbo, our shoulders crumbling under too much trauma and bleary eyed from crying in our sleep. i then found Kim, or perhaps I was the one found, stumbling around desperately searching for some vestige of my life back.

But this was a new form of therapy to me.

Yes..! I know horses, but I’ve been out of the game awhile and Kim really really knows horses. I’ve read of similar practices, never once imagining I would find myself a recipient.S o there I found myself,  and maybe this has something to do with becoming   “ a woman of a certain age “   not only was I traumatized, but I was old and traumatized and I felt too old to be young and to young to be old. !!!!!   This crept up on me and before I knew  it I was swimming against a tide in a very unfamiliar sea, trying to keep afloat with only  my one true constant,  my adversary and it’s name was chronic anxiety.

I was washed up, exhausted and lonely, my ‘ I’m okay face ‘ was in tatters.

Sometimes the universe does something  else spectacular, it brings people together, as if by magic and when I met Kim my life changed for the better !  By way of a supreme stroke of luck my  horse Joe and I ended up on Kim’s yard. And Joe and I blended in, When I had my first therapy session I had no expectations whatsoever, but my curiosity was piqued.

The first session, I felt all my old familiars (depression anxiety fear ) begin to loosen its grip on me, and although I was initially self conscious of standing in a field on a very cold and windy winter’s morning, that soon fell away to wishing I hadn’t been wearing boots , so that I might feel the earth beneath my bare feet and merge into the grounding experience,  you can close your eyes (if it’s safe to do so ) and  FEEL the  magnetic force coursing it’s way through you. The difference is compelling , it has renewed a part of me that I’d even forgotten I had… Aspiration. To want to aspire and overcome.  To be rid of the apathetic squatters in my head,  the freeloading apparitions, called despair  and self loathing.

In a horse these miseries have no place, they do not exist in these complex beautiful animals, happiness and Hope have replaced them, not only replacing them but restoring their dwelling places. Restore and revive are my go to words right now. I feel a much improved relationship with my own horse Joe and a deeper understanding of all the horses in the yard. 

So far , so very good. …….And there’s so much more.

Making a Difference

I was unsure what to expect within the sessions, however , from my very first session, I felt comfortable and understood. Kim’s confidence and belief within her animals, her surroundings and her enthusiasm in the therapy, made me feel empowered and safe within the sessions.

Kim’s empathetic approach and professional expertise have helped me navigate through some challenging times, and I am immensely grateful for her assistance.

Kim’s unique ability to listen intently, her therapeutic techniques and the fact she tailored each session to my specific needs, has made the world of difference in my progress. 

I now believe I have the tools to navigate myself through life, not only has the therapy allowed me to cope with life in general, but has empowered me to be a better more grounded person.

I believe I am now turning into the person who I am meant to be.

I highly recommend Kim to anyone seeking professional help. Her dedication, compassion, and expertise are truly remarkable, and I feel fortunate to have found such a wonderful facilitator.

Thank you for taking the time to read my testimonial.
