🌿Sensory-Friendly Healing with Horses for Neurodivergent Women, ND Parents and Sensitive Horse Owners 🌿
About Me, Gandalf and Bear
The Horses that began this incredible journey with me - Harvey and Nell
About Me
From Silent Struggles to Shared Healing
Founder of The Neurodivergent Herd
I grew up in a world that didn’t understand me.
Too sensitive. Too intense. Too emotional. Too much.
But horses understood.
They never asked me to be less.
They met me exactly as I was — and in their quiet presence, I could finally breathe.
The Turning Point
For years, I tried to fit into a world that left me anxious, burnt out, and disconnected — from myself, from others, and from the inner peace I somehow knew was possible.
It wasn’t until I returned to the deep, grounded wisdom of horses — and began exploring the healing power of Reiki, mindfulness, and somatic practices — that something began to shift.
I stopped trying to fix myself.
And I started listening.
The Healing Path
Through years of inner work, I came to understand that my sensitivity wasn’t a flaw.
It was a guide.
I trained in Reiki, trauma-aware coaching, and mindful, body-based approaches and gestalt psychotherapy— not just to support others, but because I needed these tools for myself.
And then, at the age of 59, I received a diagnosis that finally made everything make sense:
I am neurodivergent — specifically, AUDHD (Autistic + ADHD).
Suddenly, the patterns, the struggles, the intensity — all had a name. And more importantly, they had a reason.
The Horses Who Carried Me
This journey began with Harvey and Nell, the horses who first held space for me to unravel and remember who I truly was.
Their quiet, unwavering presence taught me more about healing than any textbook ever could.
Now, Gandalf and Bear walk beside me in this work — each one uniquely gifted in emotional resonance, each one helping to hold this sanctuary we offer together.
This is not a method. It’s a relationship.
Why I Created The Neurodivergent Herd
I created this work for people like me — and maybe people like you.
For the women who feel everything deeply and need a gentler way.
For the parents who are holding so much for their neurodivergent children.
For the horse owners whose animals are mirroring something they can’t yet name.
For anyone seeking healing that goes beyond words — into the body, the breath, and the quiet safety of the field.
What You’ll Find Here
Safe, sensory-friendly spaces
A slower pace and softer tone
A rhythm that honours your nervous system, your story, and your sensitivity
A no-pressure invitation to reconnect with yourself — gently, honestly, and at your own pace
Whether you come for a mindful Reiki session in the field, a horse-led healing session, or an online space to decompress and be seen — you will be met with compassion, not correction.
You’re not too much. You’ve just been carrying too much.
Here, you’re allowed to rest.
I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.
Let’s walk this healing path together.
Meet the Horses Who Hold This Work
This journey began with three very special souls — Harvey, Nell, and Buddy. Each one met me in moments of silence, struggle, and soul-searching, and showed me how deep healing can happen without a single word.
Today, it’s Gandalf and Bear who help hold space for others.
· Gandalf is a wise, calm presence — deeply attuned to people who are overstimulated or shut down.
·
· Bear brings a warm, grounding energy and gentle curiosity — often connecting first with those who are anxious or uncertain.
·
They are not tools. They are co-regulators, companions, and emotional mirrors.
Together, we offer a quiet space to soften, breathe, and just be.
If you’ve been holding it all together for too long, you don’t have to anymore.
Whether you're seeking a quiet moment of rest, a space to be truly seen, or a gentle reconnection with yourself through horse sense and soulful support — you're welcome here.
