ABOUT

What helps us understand and manage our emotions?

The ability to name what we feel, express it safely, and move through it with care is key to emotional wellbeing. Horses, with their gentle presence and emotional honesty, help young people explore these skills in a calm and supportive way.

This interactive morning retreat is designed to help participants explore:

• Identifying and naming emotions

• Regulating intense feelings

• Expressing emotions in safe and healthy ways

• Shifting energy from overwhelm to intention

• Building authentic connection with self and others

 
Set in the peaceful surrounds of Kin Kin, the day blends outdoor reflection and hands-on connection with horses.

No prior horse experience needed. Morning tea provided.

YOUR HOSTS

Join Alienor Le Gouvello, a trauma-informed counsellor specialising in Equine Assisted Therapy, for a hands-on retreat where young girls will develop emotional awareness and regulation skills through the wisdom of our herd of intuitive Brumbies. Alienor will be assisted by Marie Rene, Equine Assisted Therapist at Hoofbeats Sanctuary in Yandina.

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

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.

If you would like to know more about us, our herd of Brumbies and our services, please visit our website.
