Treatments

Applied Energy Flow

Karen works with, rather than on, the natural flow of a person's energy utilising a range of different energies and healing techniques. Her approach works to maximise the health of the body's energy systems to boost, rebalance and clear blockages.

Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese system of healing that increases the flow of energy in the body to promote wellbeing. Reiki is an incredibly relaxing and gentle treatment with the potential for very powerful results.

Honey Healing Method

The Honey Healing Method (which supercedes Emotional Realignment Therapy) is a powerful cutting edge energy therapy that works directly with stored emotional energy within a person's body.

Classes

Reiki Attunements

The process of learning to use Reiki is called an attunement because it is a bit like tuning a radio. It is not something that can be taught out of books but is something that your energy body is tuned to by a Reiki Master so that you can connect to and use the energy.

Meditation Classes

Our meditation sessions aim to take the mystery out of meditation and combine learning specific breathing and meditation practices, guided visualisation and periods of quiet for self-guided meditation.

Reiki Shares

Becoming attuned to Reiki is a wonderful gift of healing to give to yourself. Karen holds Reiki afternoons to give people attuned to all levels of Reiki the chance to give and receive Reiki together.

A Journey Back to Yourself - A Three-Week Equine Wellbeing Programme
Reconnect. Slow Down. Breathe“

Hoof and Harmony” is a gentle, experiential equine wellbeing programme designed to help you slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find a sense of calm through mindful interactions with horses.

Horses have a beautiful way of bringing us into the present moment. They don’t dwell on the past or worry about the future, they simply respond to what is happening in the here and now. Spending time alongside them encourages us to slow our breathing, become aware of our thoughts and feelings, and reconnect with ourselves in a calm and authentic way.

Many people find that being with horses helps them feel more grounded and emotionally settled. Through their calm presence and sensitivity, horses can encourage us to become more aware of our own emotions, supporting nervous system regulation, reducing feelings of overwhelm, and creating space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

Working alongside our herd (no riding involved), you’ll experience a range of mindful activities designed to nurture self-awareness, emotional resilience, confidence, and inner calm. Rather than asking anything of you, the horses simply invite you to be present, and sometimes that is exactly where healing begins.

Hoof and Harmony may be the perfect space if you:

Feel anxious or overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life.
Find yourself constantly overthinking or struggling to switch off.
Feel disconnected from yourself and long to rediscover who you are.
Would like to develop practical tools to help manage anxiety and stress.
Crave time away from busy schedules to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Want to build confidence, self-worth, and emotional resilience in a gentle and supportive environment.
No previous horse experience is necessary, just a willingness to be present and open to the experience. If you feel a little nervous you will have plenty of support to take things with the horses at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Summer Wise Women’s Gathering at Horserenity

Wise Women’s Gathering

Last autumn I hosted three Wise Women Gatherings at the beautiful Kites Farm, in Blandford Forum. This is the home of Horserenity and a very special, gentle herd of horses. These were simple but very powerful groups; a coming together of midlife women who wanted to take a little time away from the stresses and demands of their lives and make a deeper connection with themselves. We found moments that touched us as well as moments of joy.

Midlife can present extra challenges for so many women. Changing hormones can often have an unanticipated significant impact, which can affect so many areas of our lives. Demands of work and careers, relationships, home and family life, ageing parents and all sorts of other things can compete and sometimes feel harder to juggle and navigate. For some women this can also be a time when neurodivergence rears its head and past difficulties can feel harder to keep tucked away in the past. Or you may simply be feeling that you would like an opportunity to celebrate this time of life as you move into a chapter of greater wisdom and freedom.

So often, if you can find a space that feels safe enough to allow your nervous system to slow down, with support and community, things can not only start to feel more manageable but you may discover there are wonderful things to celebrate.

I am excited to be offering another series of these inspiring sessions on three Thursday afternoons in August. There will be great value in attending all three, so we are offering a discount for this. However, there is also an option to book each session separately if you aren’t able to manage them all. Join us to reconnect with yourself, your roots, and the land around you alongside our horse guides.

No prior experience with horses is needed, and there is no riding, only presence, connection, and calm. You are very welcome even if you feel a little nervous around horses but would like some support to learn more.

This course is for you if you are a woman who is:

Navigating peri-menopause, menopause, or beyond.
Feeling stretched by life’s demands.
Rarely finding time for yourself.
Wanting more time to connect with nature and your own inner grounding.
Seeking to move through this stage of life with empowerment and vitality.

Equine Faciliated Therapy and Learning

Back in the autumn of 2024 I did a guided meditation where one of the questions posed was:

“Where do you feel most yourself, most at peace, happiest...”

For me the answer to that question was instantaneous: in a field with horses.

I decided right then to explore finding a way to include this love that had grown within my personal life into my working life and so my training in Equine Facilitated Therapy and Learning began. By one of those wonderfully serendipitous occurrences, I was fortunate to find Horserenity just a short distance away at Kites Farm in Blandford. They were offering a course that felt just right for what I was looking for with dates coming up so I enrolled and my latest dream came to fruition.

Horserenity is a ground breaking centre offering alternative educational provision to young people and therapeutic work alongside our wonderful herd. There are also programs for teams and groups, including outreach to prisons and work with veterans. I now work there several days a week, supporting the young people who come to us because they are struggling in school, as well as offering private Equine Facilitated Therapy Sessions.

Celebrating the Winter Solstice with Meditation and Sound in the Firelight - Friday 20th December

Last year, in a little village hall in Wiltshire, twelve of us gathered beside a roaring fire on the darkest night of the year to celebrate the turning of the seasonal wheel. There was warmth, community and meditation held to the backdrop of some wonderful music that transported us to another place. With Andy’s wonderful sounds, my spoken meditation and the presence of everyone who came, we created a magical space. For a short and precious time, we stepped out of the rush to rest and together we created an energy that felt so wonderful that none of us wanted to leave!

It was such an amazing evening that we were certain we wanted to hold it again where this year the meditation and music will be taking you on a trip to the sacred oak grove.

We very much hope you can join us. You can book here or read on to find out more information about the event and where our journey will take us.

The Autumn Equinox: A time to step up your self-care?

A second new year…
If, like me, you grew up within the English academic system it is likely that September will always have a little of that ‘start of the new school year’ flavour to it. September usually brings with it the first glimpses of autumn colour, the return of the morning dew and that first feeling of chill in the air and it can feel like an important shift in the cycle of the seasons. The autumn equinox will be with us on Sunday and it is one of only two days of the year (the spring equinox in March being the other one) where the hours of daylight and darkness are roughly equal. We might think of the equinox as marking a point in the calendar that reminds us there is still some time before the nights really start to draw in and hopefully (in the Northern hemisphere at least) some days of fine weather and bright, warming sunshine still to come. The life and vitality of the land, the trees, the wild animals around us still has some spark in it, a sort of last dance before the dormancy of winter begins. And as the farmers begin to bring in the harvest we can open our awareness to the abundance in the natural world around us.
