This is what safety can look like. 🤎

A body softened.
A nervous system at rest.
No need to be alert, perform or do anything at all.

Horses remind us that rest is not something we need to earn. Sometimes, the most healing thing we can do is allow ourselves to pause, soften and simply be.

At Wisdom of the Brumby, there is space for all of you, including the parts that are tired from holding everything together.

Come as you are. The herd will meet you there. 🌿🐴

🌿 WOMEN IN THE CHANGING FIELD 🌿

A Peri and Menopause & Midlife Equine-Supported Immersion

“Where did I go in all of this?”

Midlife can bring profound change, in our bodies, emotions, relationships and even our sense of who we are.

But what if, instead of simply managing menopause, we created space to understand it, talk honestly about it and reconnect with ourselves?

Join us for an intimate day with the brumbies, bringing together menopause knowledge with real conversations, embodied learning and lasting change.

Together we’ll explore the changing body and brain, identity and emotions, nervous system regulation and the transition through midlife.

🌿 Sunday 27 September | 9am–3:30pm
🌿 Limited to just 10 women
🌿 $295 – morning tea & nourishing lunch included

Real conversations • Embodied learning • Lasting change

A day to pause, reconnect and remember you. 🤎

🌿 Seeking a Volunteer Participant for Student Gestalt Therapy Sessions – North Brisbane (4017 area)

As I continue through my 3rd year of Master’s studies in Gestalt Therapy, I am now looking for one volunteer participant to support the next stage of my clinical learning and assessment.

I am seeking one adult participant who is local to North Brisbane, ideally around the 4017 area, and would be available to attend approximately 4–6 face-to-face sessions before November 2026.

Sessions will be approximately 50 minutes, held in a private room-based setting, and are offered at no cost as part of my student assessment requirements.

As part of the university assessment process, sessions will need to be video recorded, with selected material viewed by my facilitator/supervisor for supervision and assessment purposes. This will be fully discussed with you beforehand so that you understand the process and can provide informed consent.

🌿 What is Gestalt Therapy?

Gestalt therapy is a relational and present-centred approach to therapy. Rather than focusing only on past experiences or trying to immediately “fix” a problem, Gestalt therapy invites us to become curious about what is happening in the present moment — our thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, patterns and ways of relating to ourselves and others.

It can be a gentle but meaningful process of developing greater awareness and understanding of yourself and how you move through the world.

To participate, you would need to:

• Be 18 years or older
• Be able to attend face-to-face sessions in the North Brisbane / 4017 area
• Ideally be someone I do not already know personally or have previously worked with therapeutically
• Be available for approximately 4–6 sessions before November 2026
• Be comfortable with the sessions being recorded for my university assessment requirements
• Be open to an initial screening conversation so that we can make sure the process is appropriate, safe and clearly understood

As this forms part of my supervised student learning, clear boundaries, confidentiality, informed consent and suitability are really important.

There is no cost to participate.

If this speaks to you, or you know someone who may be interested, please feel welcome to send me a private message and I can provide further information. 🌿

🐴 What if therapy wasn’t always about going back into the past?

Gestalt therapy invites us into the here and now, noticing what is happening within us, between us, and around us in this very moment.

And this is where horses can be extraordinary mentors.

As prey animals, horses live deeply in the present. They notice subtle shifts in energy, body language, boundaries and connection, often reflecting back what is showing up for us before we’ve even found the words for it.

There’s no judgement. No need to have the “right” thing to say. Just an opportunity to slow down, become curious, and notice.

Sometimes, what emerges in that space can be incredibly powerful and profound. 🌿

Sometimes the gate isn’t really the thing standing in our way.

We can spend so much time waiting for something to change… for someone to open the way, for the fear to disappear, or for ourselves to finally feel “ready”.

And sometimes, just like our Brumbies, we need a little time to stand at the threshold.

To notice.

To feel.

To decide.

There is wisdom in not rushing through every gate that appears before us. 🌿🐴

Sometimes the most important part of moving forward is learning to trust ourselves enough to know when we’re ready.

🌿 Mindfulness doesn’t have to be complicated.

Sometimes it looks like this.

Standing quietly beside a horse.
Feeling the warmth of the sun.
Hearing the rhythm of grazing.
Noticing your breath.
And, for a few moments, not needing to be anywhere else.

We spend so much of our lives thinking about what has happened, anticipating what might happen next, or moving from one task to another.

The horses invite something different.

They bring us back to right here, right now.

Mindfulness isn’t about emptying the mind or trying to feel calm. It’s simply noticing what is here, our breath, our body, our surroundings, and the experience unfolding in this moment.

And sometimes, when we slow down enough to notice, our nervous system begins to slow with us.

This is part of the quiet wisdom our brumbies offer. 🤎🐴

Less doing. More noticing. More being.

🌿 A Place in the Paddock 🐴

I've been sitting with an idea for a little while.

Once a month, I would like to offer one equine-assisted session completely free of charge to someone in our community who might really need it.

No catch. No expectation. No exchange.

Just an offering. 🤍

There are people in our communities who are lonely, isolated, overwhelmed or simply going through a difficult season of life, and sometimes the people who could benefit from support the most are the very people who aren't in a position to access it.

So I'd like to create 'A Place in the Paddock'.

Each month, I will invite nominations from friends, family members or others who know someone they feel could benefit from some quiet time alongside our rescued brumbies.

It might be someone who has been caring for everybody else and has forgotten themselves.

Someone grieving.

Someone feeling lonely or disconnected.

Someone navigating a difficult chapter.

Or simply someone who could really use a place to be, without having to explain or fix anything.

There is no riding involved and no previous horse experience is needed. The session will simply offer an opportunity to slow down, reconnect and spend time in the presence of the horses and the natural environment.

If someone comes to mind, please send me a private message, rather than sharing their personal circumstances in the comments. Tell me a little about them and why you would like to nominate them.

The person selected will, of course, be under absolutely no obligation to accept the invitation.

This isn't about charity.

It's about community, connection and making sure that sometimes the gate is open to someone who might not otherwise be able to walk through it.

One person.
One session.
Once a month.

A Place in the Paddock.🌿🐴

Location: North Brisbane, West of Caboolture.

With love,

Sometimes we don’t need to be fixed, guided or given answers.

Sometimes we simply need to be seen. 🌿

Horses have a beautiful way of meeting us in the moment, without judgement, without expectation, without needing us to be anything other than who we are.

And sometimes, being truly seen is enough. 🐴🤎
