There are a few things I know for sure and one of them is that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without horses.

I believe wholeheartedly that horses are a portal for deep and authentic reconnection to ourselves, and are willing partners on our path of deep healing, self-awareness and growth. No one has been a greater catalyst for change in my life than my horses. The innate wisdom of a horse standing in his or her sovereignty is a powerful and potent medicine for those of us who feel drawn into their world. They have the ability to reflect our brightest and darkest qualities back to us, while simultaneously holding space for us, offering the opportunity to step into the highest version of who we can be.

I stumbled backwards into horse medicine and horse guided empowerment not really knowing what it was and holding a bit of skepticism around how it could be different from other experiences I’d had in the emotional healing world. All I knew was that my horses were nudging me toward this path and so I, somewhat reluctantly, (because initially I didn’t fully trust in my ability, but they told me otherwise!) followed their guidance. 

An intuitive friend did a reading for me over a year ago and she said, “ Trust and follow the horses, they are leading you down YOUR path.” As a little girl I had an intense desire to be of service to others in the world. I also had an intense desire to always be around horses. Simply being around them allowed me to feel fully seen and heard, I knew I could show up authentically without strings attached and I always felt more connected to myself. Little did my little-girl-self fully understand why, but I just felt an innate sense of peace, calm and deep safety in their presence.

What I didn’t know at the time, was that this was the missing piece I had been searching for, not only for myself but for helping the collective. As I began to explore this practice, philosophy and way of being with horses, I realized that this was the work my soul has been nudging me towards, for well, decades. I didn’t have the tools and languaging to properly share this way of honoring how horses can help heal human hearts, I only knew what had shifted within me during my deeply profound personal experiences with them. I felt completely at home within myself while in the space of this work, especially during my certification work and training retreats. I came back feeling reborn. 

When I brought this work home to my herd it was like they all breathed a collective sigh of relief. I was finally understanding the work they wanted us to pursue together. As I began bringing in clients for my practicum hours for the equine-guided healing sessions, I witnessed my herd in ways I never had before. The ways they stepped up for people and shared their wisdom in support of them was incredible to witness and experience. Not to mention the ways in which they worked together to make sure the client understood the messages and medicine the herd had for them. Every session was truly extraordinary and each time my heart burst open with even more love for them. My experience in being able to offer this practice has been life changing and transformational at a foundational level.

I was searching for a path to partner with my horses in a way that honors their innate medicine and wisdom, and embraces them exactly as they are without asking them to dampen their inner fire. There is a cosmic connection between horses and humans that isn’t always easily translated into words, and yet so palpable it cannot be denied. I believe that is because horses and humans are innately connected as a collective. That there is medicine and alchemy in our partnership. That we are invested in one another’s evolution, and that the partnership of our two species is mutually beneficial when we all rise together. I hold this work alongside my herd who are my partners in business and life. Every single offering through Unbridled Liberty has been co-created with both Maizy and Willow. Their teachings are infused in everything we do.

For me, horses are the bridge between the self and all that is. They have been my path to sovereignty, a place from which I now create and work in service and devotion to theirs. The horses have asked me to use my voice to speak on their behalf. To share their wisdom with others. To walk the path of true partnership alongside them. To be an example of what that life can look like. To help others who deeply desire to walk this path as well; those who know within their hearts there is a more joyful way, a more purposeful way and a more harmonious way to live alongside these extraordinary animals. 
To create spaces for the healing, empowerment and evolution of horses and their humans.

I’m a Virgo Sun, Cancer Rising , and Aries Moon and a manifesting generator in Human Design which tells me that I am here to chart a previously unseen life path. I believe strongly that our souls are all here in human form with special gifts that have yet to be discovered. This is why I love bringing a Human Design reading element into my sessions with the horses. Human Design supports you in building the confidence to navigate any new circumstance as the most authentic and aligned version of yourself. Fully understanding who you are and how your energy operates will lead to you naturally living out your life purpose.

My wish and invitation for you is that wherever you find yourself in your journey, that you will give yourself the gift of being seen, being heard, and being understood and through that experience grant yourself permission to come back to your fully realized and innate, authentic ‘wild’ self. 

The beauty of healing with horses is that they are gifting us full permission to be in the fullness of who we are at our essence. 

The world is waiting. 
This, is the horse medicine.
And we welcome you into our herd. 

In peace and grace, 

Chantelle,

My horses.
And lived personal experiences from coaching women in business the past ten years, along with feminine somatic embodiment retreats, women’s circles, and equine guided empowerment journeys as well as healing and nourishing my own nervous system and somatic connection. 

Did you know... A horse has a 25ft circle of energy extending directly around them. We, as humans, hold a 10ft ring of energy around our physical bodies. So even when we are 35ft apart we are still “in energetic touch” with the horse. We are all energetic beings, and together we can begin to heal on a beautifully collective level.

BOOK A SESSION

A horse is a highly in-tune being that naturally observes at an invisible energetic, quantum level. What they perceive they respond to, and it becomes their reality. In this way, the horse offers the human precisely what the human is offering the horse. A perfect reflection. The dance unfolds through all offerings of perspective, thought, feeling, intention, and focus that the human consciously or unconsciously brings forward. 

Horses can masterfully shift the blocked energy of others through powerful presence and grounding. They have a keen ability to ‘read’ the energy of others so they may respond accordingly and help shift from surviving to thriving. They collectively move energy to bring wellness and harmony into the herd, and beyond. 

Horse alchemy invites you to move deeper into the exploration of your energy field and centers. Through engaging with horses, you learn how to sense, access, shift, and influence energy more profoundly. The horses, with hearts wide open and securely grounded on Mother Earth, will lead you to understand the energetic patterns of your life that no longer serve you. 

They will guide you to release what is limiting and to step into pure, authentic expression. Enter into the realm of heart-based interconnectedness with your entire being and all of those around you. As you do, you will align with your core energetic signature and offering for the world.

what is somatic embodiment with horses?

sOmAtIc

This unique trauma-informed, equine facilitated somatic embodiment approach, is highly respectful of you and the horses. One session can escalate your personal growth to exceeding expectations. This experience is so emotionally safe even for people with difficult pasts, leaving them feeling restored, balanced, uplifted and grateful. You’ll experience an emotion-shifting, neurobiological change that brings your heart and mind into greater coherence.

Horses are actually reading our nervous systems. Not just our emotions, but what we are holding in our nervous system. This practice and the sessions are not focused on “doing” with the horses. They are simply “being” with the horses. Even though it may look like a person is only standing next to a horse, to an outside observer, inner worlds are changing. In that place of ‘being’ as opposed to ‘doing’, the horses are holding a safe container and space for that ‘being.’ 

Because of this safety, the parasympathetic nervous system feels really safe to turned on again and the sympathetic nervous system is not needing to be present because we are not ‘doing’ anything with the horses. This is where the magic of healing happens. The information between the two nervous systems are connecting to each other.

Also being trauma-informed as an equine empowerment facilitator is paramount to the practice, because it is essential to take great care in avoiding flooding the system with the “old” trauma. The horses are helping the clients’ nervous systems come back into greater coherence. They are simply holding space for the clients’ bodies to reach a place of coherent regulation.

Again to reiterate, equine facilitated somatic embodiment is not therapy in the professional sense, and is not intended to replace therapy or counseling but offered as a means to be collaborative in one’s overall emotional well being.

Horses and their medicine, are a catalyst and an access point for our own deeper wisdom and open us up to a greater consciousness. Horses give us a connection and access point to a place in ourselves that holds our wisdom. When we are with horses, we have to occupy ourselves in ways we don’t need to with humans. They are a safe space for us to be witnessed because horses hold no judgements of who we are. They don't carry a bias or agenda for us, they simply offer their presence to us to be seen, and that is deep and potent medicine.

It’s based in scientific research too. The HeartMath Institute conducted an interesting study. The study was on the two-way healing of the heart between horse and human and their electromagnetic fields research. The study compared the human heart electromagnetic field, which is more significant than our brain’s electromagnetic field and can project up to 3 feet. On the other hand, a horse’s heart electromagnetic field is five times more prominent, allowing us and the horses to feel each other from a distance.
The research described that the horse’s heart pattern, which is called a coherent heart rate pattern is associated with feelings of joy, happiness and lowered stress. Because horses have this type of heart rhythm when we’re close to them, they can start to help us feel calmer, more relaxed, and joyful within that electromagnetic field.

Horses are empathic, sentient beings who choose to support our nervous systems in healing from the challenges of life. Healing is not just about integrating trauma; it’s also about supporting your nervous system in allowing the pleasure of moving into the life of your dreams. So you have the energy to build the life, relationships, and career you want with ease, grace, personal freedom, and confidence.

Horses are our guides, and teachers, they know what medicine is needed and how we need to be held in that to receive.

Horse Medicine can be considered extremely therapeutic, however it is not therapy in the professional sense, and is not intended to replace therapy or counseling but offered as a means to be collaborative in one’s overall emotional well being.
