For those who feel safest and most supported within a traditional indoor setting, Rowena offers face-to-face art therapy and counselling sessions at the Red Orchid Wellness Centre in town.

This option is ideal for clients who prefer the comfort of a dedicated therapy room, four walls, climate control, and a predictable, contained environment — particularly when working with trauma, emotional overwhelm, or sensitive life experiences.

Sessions may include talk-based counselling, creative and expressive arts therapy, somatic and nervous system–informed practices, and gentle self-regulation tools, tailored to your individual needs, pace, and goals. Art materials and creative processes are available for those who find it easier to express feelings, experiences, or memories beyond words.

Whether you are seeking structured therapeutic support, a quieter space for reflection, or the grounding familiarity of an office-based environment, these sessions provide a safe, professional, and compassionate container for healing and growth.

Walk & Talk Counselling offers a gentle alternative to traditional indoor therapy, held on a peaceful five-acre property surrounded by trees, wildlife, two thoroughbred horses, and a miniature pony. Moving side-by-side in nature can feel less confronting than face-to-face sessions, supporting a sense of ease, openness, and grounding.

This approach is particularly supportive for stress, anxiety, trauma recovery, life transitions, grief, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. The natural environment helps regulate the nervous system, encouraging relaxation, clarity, and a deeper sense of connection to self.

Sessions are guided at your pace, with a strong emphasis on choice, consent, emotional safety, and nervous system regulation. You are welcome to pause, sit, reflect, or simply walk in silence if that feels supportive. Together, we create space to explore both the big challenges and the quieter thoughts that may be taking up space in your inner world.

No pressure. No rushing. Just a compassionate, grounded space to breathe, reflect, and heal.

Nature Crafting with Gentle Giants is a slow, creative, and restorative experience that blends time in nature with gentle creative expression in the calming presence of horses.

Each session begins with a short, mindful walk to connect with the environment, notice what draws your attention, and gather inspiration or natural objects if desired. Using a combination of found items and thoughtfully provided materials, you are invited to create something meaningful — not as a performance, but as a process of reflection, self-expression, and presence.

This experience supports stress reduction, emotional processing, nervous system settling, creativity, and mindfulness. The focus is not on artistic skill, but on slowing down, tuning in, and allowing whatever arises to be explored safely and gently.

Participants are always supported to work at their own pace, with autonomy over how much they share, create, or engage. The presence of horses offers an added layer of grounding, connection, and calm.

Paint with a Pony is a gentle, trauma-informed creative therapy session held in the soothing company of a miniature pony. While painting is one possible medium, sessions include a variety of art materials and creative processes, allowing participants to explore emotions, experiences, and inner worlds through expressive art.

This offering supports emotional expression, relaxation, self-discovery, processing of life experiences, and nervous system regulation. Art can provide a powerful way to communicate when words feel limited — particularly for children, teens, neurodivergent individuals, or anyone processing complex emotions or trauma.

The miniature pony’s calm, affectionate presence often brings comfort, warmth, and a sense of connection, supporting emotional safety and gentle engagement. No artistic experience is required — this is a space for expression, not perfection.

Sessions can be adapted for individuals, families, or small groups

Using a combination of different tools and techniques in a group setting.

Healing with Horses is a sacred one-on-one healing experience that weaves together shamanic practice, divination, sound therapy, reiki, and intuitive guidance, held in nature with the supportive presence of horses when they feel called to participate.

Each session is guided intuitively, allowing what is most needed for your healing, wellbeing, energetic alignment, and nervous system regulation to unfold. Horses may offer grounding, mirroring, emotional attunement, or quiet companionship — always on their terms, with respect for their autonomy and wellbeing.

This offering can support emotional release, spiritual connection, energetic clearing, life transitions, grief processing, trauma integration, and deeper self-awareness. Sessions are held in a grounded, respectful, and consent-based way, honouring both psychological safety and spiritual integrity.

This work is offered as a complementary support and does not replace medical or mental health treatment.

Community Gatherings are designed to offer a safe, welcoming, and affordable space to slow down, reconnect, and experience support in community.

Held in a tranquil paddock with free-roaming horses, these gatherings invite participants to step away from the pressures of everyday life and into a space of shared presence, reflection, grounding, and gentle connection.

Sessions may include guided check-ins, grounding practices, nature-based activities, creative reflection, mindful moments, or quiet shared space — all offered in a trauma-informed, choice-led way. There is no pressure to speak, share, or participate beyond what feels comfortable.

These gatherings are ideal for those seeking connection, nervous system support, community belonging, or a gentle introduction to therapeutic spaces.

Private group sessions, special interest groups, and tailored gatherings can also be arranged.

Pricing varies depending on the offering, group size, and duration.
