online or face to face, equine assisted & natured based therapy Rein Changer is situated near Canungra SE, QLD within an easy reach of the Gold Coast, Northern NSW and Brisbane and located at gorgeous Ricinda Ranch Quarter Horse Stud. We offer a very unique opportunity and welcome clients to experience Equine Assisted Therapy/ Learning within our herd of beautiful caring mares and foals. Our herd has been an integral and supportive part of our lives for many years and has assisted us to not only overcome life’s challenges but to thrive in the valuable skills developed in their wake. Horses are beautiful, sensitive and intelligent animals and often evoke feelings and emotions we previously had little awareness of thus allowing us to see, feel and reach and develop areas within us. By focusing on developing and strengthen our supports and resources we are able to build the skills required for life’s challenges. The horses within our herd are calm, respectful, happy, well adjusted and very connected with people. We view them as part of our family and we are viewed as part of their herd and this is very evident in the response from them in the warm caring manner they express when they see us. Horses live in the present moment, in awareness and authentic contact, when living in a herd environment. These capacities are profoundly important for human health and wellness – the capacity to live in the present, be aware and create and maintain healthy, honest and creative relationships

At Rein Changer we also are able to bring years of experience working with people and staff experiencing significant life/ professional events to develop a wide range of skills to support them following these events. Particular focus areas are working with clients or staff supporting clients, with issues on safety, trauma, domestic violence and working with women/ and adolescents. Our main focus is supporting client’s to discover their true self by exploring within a safe and nurturing environment areas of social-emotional development, leadership, relationships, self-awareness, healing, personal development, strengthening supports, resources and growth and change. Our services are individually modeled to meet the specific needs of each client and are offered on a one to one level with a equine co-facilitator of client choice (horse partner). We also offer programs for organistaions, businesses and work related goals on a broad range of areas such as developing high performance teams, working effectively in team, developing skills for rapidly changing / high risk environments (Emergency Service Personal, Education, Health Services, Human Related Services), leadership, emotional intelligence, contact, effective relationship building and awareness of specific target groups and communication skills.

A little window of tolerance awareness exercise this morning. My beautiful horse Remmie & me going for a ride. He has at times quite an activated nervous system so its important for me to make sure im well grounded & aware. Its these core skills tyat are so transferable to so many situations in life. Whether its at work or at home the more we build these skills the better equipped we are to support those around us

Ever wondered how horses can help us understand ourselves better? 🤔

Meet Remy, my incredible equine partner! He's a sweet horse who has taught me so much about anxiety and nervous system regulation. Through our work on co-regulation, where I help him regulate his emotions and he, in turn, educates me on learning about nervous system regulation in my own body and I've gained invaluable insights.

The insights I have learnt from my wonderful work over the years with my horses have changed my world forever and Im so grateful to have them in my life. Remmie is one of my equine partners who joins me in the Equine Assisted Therapy sessions I do with people. He helps people understand their own nervous systems and how to regulate themselves. It's a beautiful dance of mutual learning and healing.

If your wanting to experience this type of psychotherapy or know more about how it can help you or those you love feel free to send a DM or text/ call 0400 739 330
