About Me

Hi, I'm Louise

 

I provide opportunities for individuals and small groups to reconnect with themselves, nature and the world around them through meetings with Exmoor Ponies, Shetland Ponies, Alpacas and beautiful wild spaces across North Devon. Offering a reflection and a doorway into a more emotionally aligned version of ourselves, we are invited to know ourselves more deeply.

​​

It is also my hope that by experiencing first hand the complexity and intelligence of other species, we may value even more the other life forms we share our precious planet with.

​​

I also lead fun group activities, interacting with animals at Strawfields near Ilfracombe, and at the Exmoor Pony Centre near Dulverton.

​

I qualified in Equine Facilitated Human Development (Level 5) in 2018 after about a decade training in natural horsemanship.

​

Living and working across the stunning landscapes of the North Devon Biosphere Reserve and Exmoor National Park, I hope you'll join me...

"I had my first session with Equine Echoes yesterday and it absolutely blew me away. Louise is a gentle facilitator who holds the space beautifully and I felt totally safe with the ponies at all times. Highly recommended for those curious about the healing abilities of our equine friends." (JT, Lynton)
