Struggling to stay connected?

If your mental health is suffering, you may feel disconnected from yourself and the world around you. Horse therapy can help you find the connection you crave. 

Sometimes we need to silence the noise to be able to listen to what we really need. Being outdoors, surrounded by equestrian beauty, gives you an opportunity like you’ve never experienced. An opportunity to understand, reflect, and shift our perspective.

Conventional therapy may induce anxiety or intense sensations, but horse-centered therapy can melt anxiety away. When that anxiety barrier is lifted, you learn to lean in, trust, and let go. Horses listen to your body language and react in a way that starts the healing process. Connection and self-reflection come first. As you remain present, that connection and self-reflection translates to inner work. 

Our Services

Private Psychotherapy

Reconnect through 1-on-1 therapy sessions with horses. On its own or as a complement to regular talk therapy, working with horses is therapeutic for those ready to do the inner work. This work can help you overcome obstacles like anxiety, grief, PTSD, and more. Along with the horse, I’ll guide you through each session, working at your pace through your healing process!

Why therapy with horses?

  • Emotional Support

    A horse’s ability to offer emotional support makes horse therapy an effective option for treating anxiety and depression. Feelings associated with anxiety and depression, such as shame, envy, anger, and fear, are hurdles that horses are familiar with jumping.

  • Extraction of Your True Self

    Horses are magical in their appearance but, more importantly, in their abilities. They’re animals of prey, so their senses are heightened. Horses are perceptive and provide feedback that a traditional talk therapist can’t. Horses nurture your soul and assist you through all the hard steps in healing.

  • You Can’t Fake It

    Horses see you in a way humans don’t. In their authenticity, they see yours. They know when you’re hurting and they stand by you. They are loyal and understanding.

  • Making Connections

    Equine-Assisted Therapy isn’t focused on handling horses. It’s about observation. As you watch how the horses interact with and react to their environment, you can learn valuable lessons. Making the connection between your environment and your life allows you to see your place in the world differently.

  • Biofeedback Response

    Bonding with a horse is a personal experience. Each person’s therapy experience is unique. As a result of the biofeedback received from a horse, equine-assisted therapy is an effective treatment for mental health, anger management, grief, and so much more. >>> Learn More

Meet Denice Muzzatti

I’m Denice, founder of Stable Life Therapy, an equine-assisted therapy practice in Vaughan, Ontario. 

As a Registered Psychotherapist and multi-passionate healer, I believe that there are many beautiful layers involved in healing. 

My extensive experience with horse therapy has shown that it is the most effective way to reconnect you to your authentic self and lead you on the path to more fulfilling relationships. 

Horses assist in removing blockages, encouraging the release of bad energies, and allowing more love for self and others. Horses have an innate ability to build confidence and encourage self-awareness and vulnerability.

Having also trained in spiritual psychotherapy, I support the needs of your soul and spirit through one-on-one therapy, mental health retreats, and workshops.

Together we can empower you to see your light again.
