“Studies have shown when people are around horses they often have decreased blood pressure, lower stress levels and reduced feelings of tension, anxiety, depression and anger”
One of our favourite services that we offer is holistic equine and canine assisted healing. Interacting with horses and dogs allows us to receive both mental and physical benefits.
Scientists have documented the benefits and studies have shown when people are around animals they often have decreased blood pressure, lower stress levels and reduced feelings of tension, anxiety, depression and anger. In addition, studies have shown people have gained feelings of self-esteem, empowerment, patience and trust, all of which are some very powerful results.
Sometimes, all it takes is being outside in amongst nature, the fresh air and participating in kinetic activity to enlighten our mood and creating a strong, positive mindset.
Here at Elite Equestrian Academy our horses, dogs and facilitators have been helping individuals and groups benefit from the amazing power of equine and canine healing. Based in Great Western, Victoria, we have created an emphasis on providing a relaxing, welcoming and healing environment.
Bec Griffin our head facilitator, has been able to successfully help individuals through the symptoms and downfalls of PTSD and trauma recovery, with effective and life changing results. The criteria for who can benefit is not restrictive and people challenged with everything from cerebral palsy and autism, to drug and alcohol dependency through to social anxiety can experience healing with our programs.
Bec has been working with the NDIS for a number of years, facilitating equine and canine sessions to those with disabilities and challenges with great success.
