North Norfolk Riding Centre, Little Walsingham
Equine assisted Reiki in North Norfolk
Step away from the fast-paced world into a slower, intentional space of deep self-care and emotional regulation. These unique one-hour sessions blend the gentle energy practice of Usui Reiki with guided compassion healing.
Why equine assisted Reiki?
Hosted at the wholesome, family-run North Norfolk Riding Centre in Little Walsingham, this nature-based sanctuary offers the perfect environment to unwind, reset, and recharge — whether you are a seasoned rider or simply want to be around horses more. Here, the ponies and horses are valued as true partners, teachers, and sentient beings, sharing their yard with ducks, chickens, and wild birds in a peaceful, thriving community.
Horses are highly perceptive, socially sensitive animals that naturally respond to human emotional and physical states. While the therapeutic experience offers a powerful sense of connection and energy flow, scientific research attributes the deep relaxation felt around horses to human-animal interaction and emotional co-regulation. Spending time in their presence promotes somatic grounding, lowering stress levels and helping your nervous system find a natural state of peace.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a holistic complementary therapy and Japanese energy practice that can be received in person or through distant healing. The word comes from the Japanese rei (universal) and ki (life energy), referring to the natural energy believed to flow through all living beings.
A horse’s energy field is much larger than ours and they have an incredible natural ability to co-regulate our human feelings and relax the nervous system. Because equines are highly empathetic, they support a space of peace and open-hearted compassion.
What to expect during your 60-minute session
The beginning (exploration) — we open a friendly, welcoming space to discuss what Reiki is and is not, and gently explore where you find yourself getting stuck when it comes to self-compassion. You will choose some oracle cards to help guide intentions.
Middle — a guided self-compassion meditation practice designed around your unique personal experience while spending time standing with the horse or pony chosen for your session. Using Reiki practices, I will encourage the flow of energy and support the body’s natural ability to restore. You will either sit or lay down in a comfortable position, and the horse or pony present will remain in its tied position.
End — we take time to feedback and plan together how you can build on your experience going forward, and you will choose oracle cards to guide continued intentions beyond the session. You will be emailed a copy of the inner qualities of compassion handout.
