SOMATIC THERAPY WITH HORSES
There is no better partner in healing than a being who has walked a similar path of trauma and recovery.
Experience Somatic Therapy in the presence of a free-roaming herd of rescued horses. These sessions combine the science of nervous system regulation with the intuitive, grounded presence of horses, offering a space where healing unfolds naturally through both mind and body.
The horses of Ibiza Horse Valley have all been rescued from situations of abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Over time, they have healed by living together as a herd, forming strong social bonds and regaining trust in themselves, each other, and the world around them. They are not trained to perform in these sessions. Instead, they choose completely out of free will whether or not to engage, which makes every interaction honest and deeply meaningful.
There is something profoundly beautiful about sharing space with animals who have known fear, trauma, and survival, and who have healed among the herd themselves. Their presence alone can invite regulation, awareness, and a deeper connection to one’s own body. Their ability to attune to subtle shifts in the nervous system makes them powerful companions in this kind of work.
Each session is guided by our certified Somatic Therapist, Mya, who not only grew up within the Valley but also takes care of the herd every day. She knows the story, history, and personality of every horse. Over the years, she found her own healing among these horses, and that journey now informs every session she offers.
Together with the herd, Mya creates an environment of safety, stillness, and support. A space where transformation doesn’t come through words or effort, but through presence, regulation, and a natural rhythm the body can trust.
Ibiza Horse Valley is a non-profit sanctuary that receives no government funding. Everything we do is made possible thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. Their support allows us to rescue, rehabilitate, and provide a lifelong safe haven for horses in need.
