Healing for Ladies
Visit Elaine’s healing centre on the Dorset/Somerset border for a time of healing and deep connection.

A powerful connection where time stands still
Healing the women within-Finding peace and calmness with the help of the healing herd enables us to explore ourselves. To ask the question "who am I" guided by Elaine - Shadow worker, Spiritual life coach, healer.
Healing with horses is a profoundly transformative experience that blends emotional, energetic, with the intuitive presence of these magnificent beings. Whether you're seeking personal growth, trauma recovery, or spiritual alignment, horses offer a mirror to your inner world and a gateway to deeper healing.
You will experience a profound journey of self-discovery and healing with the horses. Gentle unravelling of emotional layers stored deep within.
Connecting with horses and nature lowers high energy levels and anxiety, as well as soothing and calming the mind. My horses are the most amazing healing herd. Offering guidance and help when needed. I am a qualified healer, shadow worker and spiritual life coach. I facilitate a connection between horse and human - supporting people to become better in tune with their emotions, strengths, and weaknesses, whilst partnering with horses and myself to develop emotionally and spiritually.
Healing the women within-Finding peace and calmness with the help of the healing herd enables us to explore ourselves. To ask the question "who am I?" Do you feel not quite right, that there is more to life, do you constantly doubt yourself and not trust your judgement. Do you make a decision only to start getting those nagging doubts, that little voice telling you, you are wrong. Do you have a feeling deep inside of you saying that there is something inside you that needs your attention. Perhaps you have been feeling out of balance or feeling lost, sad, angry, ill and nothing brings you inner peace – healing with the healing herd might just change your life. Healing is the process of making the unconscious conscious, and becoming aware of these hidden and repressed aspects of ourselves, exploring them, forgiving them and accepting them. Letting go of restrictions that we put upon ourselves, the doubts and insecurities. As we work together, healing, we realise why we are how we are. We all have a shadow filled with rules and memories from the past, since childhood. On my spiritual path I have had to work with my shadow. It was amazing how restrictions that I put upon myself came from childhood. The teacher telling me I would never get very far, parents guiding me in the only way they knew how by clipping my wings and keeping me safe. Living the life that everyone else wanted me to live. Be a good girl, sometimes we ned to be a bad girl to feel alive! Work hard at school trying to get good grades but only ever being a “C”. I held onto this one for a long time and did not believe I could do well. Failing in later life in a business and then restricting myself from pushing myself and doing well in case I should lose everything again. Never feeling good enough, attractive and happy with me. During my journey like a snake I have shed many skins and these skins were my shadow. The rules, restrictions, pains that had accumulated within me.
One big transformation for me was connecting with my inner child who I have named “Junior”. I have learnt that I am ok as I am, there is no need to change to suit others. Wear your glove with pride it fits every part of you and you alone. I carried a lot of baggage from when I was young and this over shadowed me. Never being good enough, pretty enough, never fitting in, all of these things that were holding me back in my life. But they no longer mattered I shed the skins and embraced myself as I am and tell myself “I love You” everyday.
As a spiritual healer I also work with you healing from within. Did you know that stored emotions can become physical pain. At one time l became very ill and the Drs told me I had ME, Fibromyalgia. I said “no”, I knew it was all emotional, obviously no point telling that to a doctor. So, I again started a journey into me, into my shadow and energy. With the help of my horses, I slowly started to let go to release and restore my energy and body.
Healing is never easy we have to face perhaps parts of ourselves we do not like. This can be hard when we realise the person hurting us was ourselves. We need to talk to the emotions and feelings, acknowledge, learn from them and heal. I do shadow work with horses as you can imagine they as foals have their lives mapped out for them. But deep inside at some point their shadow will start to step forward and healing needs to take place. I have seen horses completely change from angry “dangerous” animals to soft, peaceful, connected horses. This is because they have been heard, I think you deserve to be heard as well.

So many people come to me and say "I do not fit in, I never have."
There is a feeling of being lost, less than and a general feeling of being down.

Children flying the nest, menopause etc. the identity we had does not fit us anymore and it is some times hard to see the way forward.

Many people ask me what we do at The Healing Yard and how can the horses and I help you. You being the beautiful independent lady with so much to give, feel and see.
Firstly we are not an Equine Assisted Therapy Yard we are a healing yard. Healing can be needed for many reasons. Life can be a difficult path to follow with its many twists, turns, crossroads and no entry routes. Life can let’s be honest be hard, difficult and it is very easy to become lost. We as women have many roles Wife, Mother, Sister, Friend, etc etc. always trying to be what everyone wants and expects you to be. I found that I reached a dead end no where to turn what ever I did I could not move forward.
You see I never fitted in during my life I was a square piece of the puzzle trying to fit into the last space. But this space was not square it was jagged, curved, pointed and there was no way I could be part of the big picture. This is where my spiritual connection helped me. Through meditation, connecting I was told I was never meant to “fit” in. My piece of the puzzle was unique. There are many ladies who visit us here who repeat the same story, “I have never fitted in with school friend’s, family, work colleagues, I feel alone”
My reply is you were never meant to, you are unique and a beautiful individual. So the first thing I do is invite them to our unique club, the square piece in a round puzzle club. You see we are not meant to be the same. this to me makes life exciting, life is your own unique ride, how you ride it is up to you.
So we talk I find out about you, who you really are not who you have become. I am a spiritual healer and I am guided in my work. Recently I had a lady with me and she was telling me about a friend who had died. As you can imagine there were tears, but as she was talking I heard the voice and passed on the message from her loved one.
I am a Spiritual coach, shadow worker, guide, healer, equine communicator, but every session is an adventure because it will be unique. So after a chat I take you to The Healing Herd 7 beautiful mares who have all been on different healing journeys in their own lives. We see who you are drawn to, who throws out their beautiful energy.
Then I ask if we can spend time with them. Some times you will stand, sit or even lie on the therapy bed as the horse stands with you. I hold space and what happens is so beautiful words can not fully describe. They will explore you reading your energy. If you need comfort they will gently rest their muzzle against your cheek. They will breathe into different parts of your body, where we will both give you healing. Tears will fall, healing tears that have been locked in for so long.
Then the horse will lick & chew and yawn the biggest yawns as they release your blocked energy. It is the most beautiful experience.
So many things can happen when you have an appointment with us. But what you will rejoice in is that you were never meant to “fit” in.
If you would like to discuss how we can help you to smile again drop me a message.
Have a beautiful day xxx
