ABOUT

What makes a healthy relationship? 

Trust, respect, boundaries, and communication — all essential for strong friendships, family connections, and self-confidence.

This interactive morning retreat is designed to help young people explore:

• Personal boundaries and respect
• Non-verbal communication and trust
• Leadership vs. teamwork
• Building connection in a healthy way

Join Alienor Le Gouvello, a trauma-informed counselor specialising in Equine Assisted Therapy, for a hands-on retreat where Youths will learn about relationships through the wisdom of our herd of intuitive Brumbies.

Through guided activities, horse interactions, and reflective exercises, participants will gain practical skills they can use in everyday life—all while enjoying a peaceful, supportive outdoor setting.

This retreat is ideal for young people to support them with:

• Strengthening friendships and social confidence
• Setting personal boundaries
• Improve communication skills
• Reduce feeling anxious in relationships or group settings
• Love for animals and learn best through hands-on experiences.

Set in the tranquil surrounds of Kin Kin, the half day retreat blends being outdoors in the company of horses and inside the purpose-built retreat facility.

A MESSAGE FROM YOUR HOST  

Hi, I’m Alienor le Gouvello, I combine my love for nature, animals, and mental health to create a unique therapeutic environment.

I’m a qualified, trauma-informed counselor specializing in Equine Assisted Therapy and Sensorimotor Art Therapy. My work is inspired by my personal experiences with horses and my journey through Australia’s stunning outback. I’m here to guide you gently and at your own pace toward a place of healing and balance.

Inspired by my solo journey with three brumbies along Australia’s National Trail, I witnessed firsthand the healing power of horses. After years of working with remote Indigenous communities and volunteering with Riding for the Disabled, I dedicated my career to helping others through equine therapy.

At Wild At Heart, we believe in the profound connection between humans, animals, and nature. Every session is tailored to your unique needs, fostering a safe and supportive environment for personal growth.

At Wild At Heart, we’re not just about therapy; we’re about stories—of courage, growth, and connection. Whether you’re working with our horses or expressing yourself through sensorimotor art therapy, we invite you to become part of our story.

Every Retreat Day is a chapter, every connection a step toward healing, and every person who visits a reminder of why we started this journey.

Wild at Heart Equine Assisted Therapy is located on a stunning 25-acre property in the beautiful Sunshine Coast, just minutes from the small country town of Kin Kin, with easy access from Noosa and Gympie.
