What is Healing with Horses?

Discover the Heart of the Equine-Assisted Reiki sessions at Welcome House Farm

If you've ever felt like traditional healing methods only scratch the surface, you're not alone. There's a quiet movement growing across the country — one that invites people back into nature, back into their bodies, and back into connection. It's called Healing with Horses, and it's not just a trend. It's a return to something real.

So what exactly is Healing with Horses?

At its core, it's the practice of receiving energy healing — in this case, Reiki — while in the presence of horses. At Welcome House Farm in Perkasie, PA, Bess with Wholehearted Living offers private, heart-centered Reiki sessions supported by her farm’s gentle herd. But this isn’t about riding or training horses. It’s about letting them simply be with you.

Horses are highly intuitive animals. They sense energy and emotion without judgment. In these sessions, they become silent companions and energetic mirrors — responding to the shifts within you as you release tension, grief, or stress. Their calm presence enhances the energetic field, creating a deeply grounded, sacred container for healing.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by life’s noise or disconnected from your own body, this experience can help you come home to yourself.
