Healing through
nature & connection

About Catherine

My love for horses began the moment I first saw one as a toddler, sparking a lifelong connection to these incredible animals. Over the years, horses have been a constant source of strength and healing for me, helping me navigate some of life’s most challenging moments; divorce, breast cancer, the loss of my father, and, more recently, the discovery that I have ADHD.

This deep bond with horses, combined with my training as an NLP Coach and a certified Equine Facilitation Practitioner, inspired me to create The Mindful Yard CIC. Based in the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside, The Mindful Yard is a safe, nurturing space where women can reconnect with themselves and find balance through nature, horses, and holistic support.

I am passionate about supporting women facing pivotal life transitions, as I know how transformative it can be to feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Alongside this, I am eager to work with schools, offering students a unique opportunity to process challenges and build resilience through meaningful interactions with horses.

I also work with young people aged 11 and over, supporting them as they navigate the challenges of ADHD, anxiety, school pressures, and the emotional shifts that come with hormonal changes.

​​​

Whether you are seeking solace, clarity, or simply a chance to rediscover your sense of self, I invite you to join me at The Mindful Yard and experience the healing power of nature and connection.​
