Michelle is passionate about the healing power of the great outdoors.

Michelle combines CACHE education qualifications with Equine Assisted Therapy CPD to create accessible, nature-based experiences. Skilled in Makaton and BSL Level 1, she ensures inclusive communication for every visitor. Michelle also brings invaluable empathy as an expert by experience in SEN, SEMH, and military family life, ensuring our outdoor spaces feel safe for all.

With over 40 years of equestrian knowledge, Julie leads our animal-based wellbeing with a gentle, trauma-informed ethos. Specialising in PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) approaches, she creates a nurturing environment where children with SEN and SEMH needs can build trust and connection with our horses.

Fran is dedicated to person-centred support, ensuring every visitor feels valued. As a Holistic Wellbeing Practitioner, she draws upon her genuine background as an expert by experience regarding SEN and looked-after children. This lived perspective allows her to offer authentic, relatable support within our wellness environment.

Currently working towards BSC Environmental Science, Nicole manages our marketing with a passion for our nature-based philosophy. Her connection to the centre is personal, an equestrian for 15+ years alongside lived experience with mental health. Her perspective ensures our online community is supported by someone who truly understands the journey.
