Welcome to Somatic Living

What we offer

Like humans, horses experience stress (physical/emotional) and develop chronically contracted muscles as a result, which they are unable to relax. These muscles can cause pain and fatigue from constant use and are often mistaken for the signs of growing old.

At Somatic Living, we believe we have found the answer to stress management, pain relief and successful aging for horses by way of Equine Hanna Somatics (EHS).

Equine Hanna Somatics

EHS is an adaptation of Hanna Somatic Education (HSE) for horses. It reawakens the mind’s control of movement, flexibility and health by way of safe, gentle and naturally occurring movements. This truly innovative method can have a profound effect on each individual worked with, and you can expect to notice a change in your horse’s condition as early as the first session.

Conditions to benefit from EHS range from lameness, arthritis, back pain ligament/tendon injuries, postural/conformation issues, repetitive motion strain, mental issues or any similar condition.

The great news is Equine Hanna Somatics is for any breed of all ages. No special equipment is required, just a spacious and quiet environment to enable you and your horse to form a trusting and lasting relationship.

Benefits include, reduced pain, easier walking, longer stride, better co-ordination,
Improved posture/conformation, enhanced performance and many more.
EHS is complimentary to many other healing methods and also compatible with all types of equine address such as shoeing, foot trimming, dentistry, saddle fitting and so on.
