Equine One to One Sessions
Our one-on-one sessions, guided by horses and facilitated by a qualified practitioner, are designed to be profoundly nurturing and therapeutic. You'll experience heart-centred facilitation in a serene environment, surrounded by a natural landscape; the wind whispering through the trees and birds singing are all part of the experience. The land and elements hold you, creating the space for you to discover your answers and receive a 'felt' experience, not just an intellectual one, meaning you can apply what you learn to your daily life and leave feeling you've experienced something tangible.
£150.00 2/2.5 hours
It is recommended that you book a minimum of four sessions over one month.
EQUINE ASSISTED SESSIONS
Kim has lived alongside horses since she was a toddler. She enjoyed their company and the freedom they provided as she explored the South Downs, captivated and wholly immersed in the present moment. This connection with horses relieved her anxiety-ridden adolescence while galloping along the Sussex bridleways.
During her teens and into adult life, many of the horses she took on exhibited behavioural problems. These problems were often attributed solely to the horse's 'difficult' behaviour, with little consideration given to the potential impact of the rider's internal state or behaviour when interacting with the horse.
Kim competed as a young girl and into adulthood until travelling in her late twenties; over time, she found that training methods were heavy-handed and pressurised. Many modalities used an understanding of equine behaviour against the horse rather than for a harmonious and equal relationship with the horse, which is the heartbeat of all she brings to her work with the herd she shares this land with.
A new school of thought emerged after returning from her travels around Australia. Kim trained as a complementary animal practitioner and stopped riding to focus on her new family. This period allowed for time and space to realise how her horses' behaviour reflected the internal thoughts and emotions she experienced and how if she approached her horses in a hurry or without considering them, inevitably, their behaviour would mirror this, leading to an unpleasant experience for all! It sparked an interest in how horses can help people in a therapeutic setting and how the horse's voice and needs must be respected when working with clients.
Is now your time to embark on a unique and transformative journey, gain clarity amid the fast pace of our times, find more ease and live your life from a place of fresh understanding and insight?
Whether you book one-to-one sessions or attend a more extended retreat, this time will be away from the daily hustle and bustle, allowing you to experience specialised and heart-centred guidance, the healing properties of cacao, and the pure presence of the horses.
Cacao Ceremonies
Ellasfield Cacao Ceremonies are more than just a typical social gathering. They are a thoughtfully curated event that blends Kim's kindness with the ancient wisdom of her ancestors and the powerful qualities of cacao. Together, these elements create a transformative experience. It offers a beautiful opportunity to connect more deeply with your loved ones and with yourself in a gentler way, benefiting mind, body, and spirit.
At its core, a cacao ceremony is a guided journey that works in harmony with the beneficial properties of the cacao bean. This nourishing and uplifting plant is treasured for its ability to open the heart and gently guide us away from anxious overthinking and the mind's distractions. Whether you are looking for a different kind of celebration or experience to enjoy with friends or wish to explore your spiritual path more deeply, cacao can help you release stuck emotions and gain insight into unhealthy patterns rooted in past trauma. Our unique cacao ceremonies at Ellasfield are specially designed for you and your guests for any occasion.
Join us in a cozy, candlelit yurt where Kim will share insights about the four directions: east, south, west, and north. You’ll learn about the unique medicine associated with each direction while savoring a specially prepared cup of high-quality cacao, all accompanied by enchanting music. This is a wonderful opportunity to embrace the moment, slow down, and fully immerse yourself in the ‘here and now.’
As the ceremony unfolds, you will be gently guided through restorative yoga and meditation practices. To conclude this time of reflection and connection, we will participate in a shamanic drumming journey, allowing the rhythmic beat of the drum to help you restore balance and awaken your innate power and inner wisdom.
After the conscious consumption of the delicious 'hug in mug', as it's affectionately known, there is always the opportunity to share any experiences and insights if you wish. Participants often report emotional releases, heightened intuition, and a newfound sense of community and connection.
A fire ceremony concludes the experience, helping to release self-sabotaging thoughts, habitual patterns, and burdens. With love, we can write down what we wish to let go of and offer these to the fire, where each one is embraced by the flames of transformation.
At Ellasfield, we use only organic, heirloom ceremonial cacao paste, ethically sourced through a workers' co-operative of small family farmers.

1:1 Healing Wisdom Sessions
This is deep, transformational work, for anyone ready to clear away attachment to the past and break through blocks to living a more fulfilling life of ease, power and grace.
Kim works with her ancestors, the energy of the land and the four directions to help you rekindle a deep connection with your own roots, the environment and your personal power. She listens with profound compassion and shines a light on the areas of your life you want to shift, guiding you on the path of healing.
Together you will explore elements of your background, family and cultural programming and wounding, and examine how this affects your life today. By fully facing and releasing past stories, you will heal the ancestral spell that is often cast unwittingly, and step into your power as a sovereign being.
Through this alchemical process you will see how your habitual thoughts, reactions and behaviour patterns are based on outdated beliefs that have kept you safe but hold you back from your highest potential.
Instead of adding to the critical voice that we so often use on ourselves, Kim offers a gentle and encouraging approach to powerfully change your life for the better. This starts with reconnecting with your purpose and fostering a deeper, kinder relationship with yourself through yogic movement, healing ritual and ceremonial work drawing on shamanic wisdom. Depending on each individual, any of these elements may be used:
Ancient healing methods - working with voice, drum, rattle, feathers, the land and spirit to release the old and regain power
Cacao ceremonies - to soothe the soul and open the heart
Fire ceremony - to release and set intentions
Gentle kundalini and restorative yoga - to come into a loving relationship with the body, clear stuck energies and arrive at a place of full power and poise.
£150 2/2.5 hours
