online or face to face, equine assisted & natured based therapy Rein Changer is situated near Canungra SE, QLD within an easy reach of the Gold Coast, Northern NSW and Brisbane and located at gorgeous Ricinda Ranch Quarter Horse Stud. We offer a very unique opportunity and welcome clients to experience Equine Assisted Therapy/ Learning within our herd of beautiful caring mares and foals. Our herd

has been an integral and supportive part of our lives for many years and has assisted us to not only overcome life’s challenges but to thrive in the valuable skills developed in their wake. Horses are beautiful, sensitive and intelligent animals and often evoke feelings and emotions we previously had little awareness of thus allowing us to see, feel and reach and develop areas within us. By focusing on developing and strengthen our supports and resources we are able to build the skills required for life’s challenges. The horses within our herd are calm, respectful, happy, well adjusted and very connected with people. We view them as part of our family and we are viewed as part of their herd and this is very evident in the response from them in the warm caring manner they express when they see us. Horses live in the present moment, in awareness and authentic contact, when living in a herd environment. These capacities are profoundly important for human health and wellness – the capacity to live in the present, be aware and create and maintain healthy, honest and creative relationships

At Rein Changer we also are able to bring years of experience working with people and staff experiencing significant life/ professional events to develop a wide range of skills to support them following these events. Particular focus areas are working with clients or staff supporting clients, with issues on safety, trauma, domestic violence and working with women/ and adolescents. Our main focus is supporting client’s to discover their true self by exploring within a safe and nurturing environment areas of social-emotional development, leadership, relationships, self-awareness, healing, personal development, strengthening supports, resources and growth and change. Our services are individually modeled to meet the specific needs of each client and are offered on a one to one level with a equine co-facilitator of client choice (horse partner). We also offer programs for organistaions, businesses and work related goals on a broad range of areas such as developing high performance teams, working effectively in team, developing skills for rapidly changing / high risk environments (Emergency Service Personal, Education, Health Services, Human Related Services), leadership, emotional intelligence, contact, effective relationship building and awareness of specific target groups and communication skills.

EOI Hi everyone, Linda Sawrey Nurtured by Nature Psychotherapy and I are thinking about adding a 3 day clinic to our schedule, centred around Window of Tolerance for us and our horses.

Over 3 days we will build with our horses, learning:

* what the Window of Tolerance is and how to recognise when we go outside of it into overwhelm or shutdown.

*How the Automatic Nervous System Responds, recognising the indicators

*How we can step in to help regulate the nervous system

*Take home tools so we know what do do when we are out and about

*How to widen the window of tolerance, so us and our horses are more confident

This will include demonstrations.

Perfect for those wanting to learn more about regulating the nervous system, building confidence in outings, obstacles, and developing a healthy and confident horse.

June 5, 6 & 7 weekend

Gold Coast Hinterland (Natural Bridge)

Camping and horse yards on site

Limited to 8 horse and rider combinations

We will have options for both "Ground work only" and "Ground and Ridden" classes.

Hands on farm day today with my very special granddaughter. Love watching the determination on her little face. She was very pleased to be able to help Grammie clean up the stable area.

Cherish every moment I get to spend with her

Many leaders are used to pushing through stress and pressure.

But long-term, that approach can lead to burnout, disconnection and reduced clarity.

True resilience comes from:
• Awareness
• Regulation
• Flexibility in how you respond

This is what we mean by mental health fitness.

It’s something that can be developed — with the right support, tools and environment.

✨ Small shifts in awareness can create meaningful change.

Leadership is often shaped in the moments of pressure.

That’s when patterns show up:
• Reactivity
• Avoidance
• Overwhelm
• Shutdown

These aren’t weaknesses — they’re patterns your system has learned over time.

The key is learning to recognise them and respond differently.

Inside Fundamentals of Mental Health Fitness for Leaders, we explore how to understand these patterns and build the capacity to lead from a more grounded, regulated state.

✨ Small shifts in awareness can create meaningful change.
