Phoenix Rise Equine Therapies offers a welcoming, peaceful, and open environment where people can express themselves authentically and safely.
Nestled at the gateway of the Yarra Valley, and at the base of the Bunyip State Forest, our two
locations offer a nature-surrounded setting that is designed to foster healing and support personal growth. We are dedicated to helping individuals develop self-awareness and skills that empower them to lead fulfilling lives.
Our approach integrates mindfulness, somatic experiences, and experiential learning, all in the presence of horses who play a crucial role in the healing process. We are committed to a trauma-informed approach, ensuring that our clients feel secure and supported throughout their journey.
At Phoenix Rise Equine Therapies, we emphasize a holistic approach to healing the mind, body, and spirit. Our tailored services in the mental health space include equine-assisted counselling (EAC), mindful retreats, and group programs for people 5 years old and above.
EAC aims to support, encourage and guide people as they experience different emotions and feelings, each time is different for every person. When we are given a safe space to explore our issues in the presence of horses, we can gain insight and awareness of ourselves and situations we may experience.
Through this experience you may learn regulation strategies, connection, relationships and trust, plus so much more. Each session is tailored to each individual’s needs and goals.
EAC sessions provide mental health support for anyone over the age of 5 years, and those who are open to personal growth and healing.
Sessions typically run for an hour where you can expect a somatic experience with our amazing therapy horses, guided by our qualified and experienced counsellors by engaging in various activities and a focus on slowing down and being present.
