A Journey with Horses
ARC/EGD – Bodywork Equine Therapy

ARC/EGD™ is a unique 2½ hour exploration combining energy work and therapeutic equine interaction, ARC/EGD™ excels in working with the emotional issues that impact one’s lifestyle, often the cause of physical complaints and dis-ease. Clients of ARC/EGD™ realize a new passion for life that invites abundance and choice. ARC/EGD™ can help with grief, anger, fear, chronic pain, addictive behavior, abuse and other boundary issues.

ARC (A Return to Consciousness) Bodywork is a 75 minutes session combining energy work and BodySpeak™.  BodySpeak™ is a form of body-based communication that works with one’s emotional organization and behavioural patterns. Through questions designed to elicit a more sensory than cognitive response, BodySpeak™ helps illuminate the patterns that limit us. With conscious awareness of how we are living, we then make informed decisions about how we can thrive and live in abundance.

What is EGD™?

An EGD™ (Equine Guided Development) session deepens the understanding of issues explored in the ARC session. Horses are excellent mirrors to our internal world and work to gently expose self imposed limitations while supporting our journey.

The 60 min EGD™ session begins with meeting the herd and choosing a horse with which to work. Equine body language and communication is explored as well as the client’s own observations. This is followed by 15 – 20 minutes of self-guided interaction with the horse. The session concludes with the client relating their story and hearing what was witnessed by the facilitator. Self reflective questions are asked both during and after the session.  Clients find EGD™ a safe way to explore boundaries, self-esteem and creative expression.

The combined ARC Bodywork and EGD™ session is a profound therapeutic experience. ARC and EGD™ can be combined with other modalities or used on their own.

Testimonials

I was in the midst of a very challenging transitional phase in my life when I attended Unbridled Potential's weekend retreat. As is so often the case, these changes created a lot of fear and uncertainty. I was no longer happy with the status quo, yet the fear of the unknown was paralyzing. The opportunity to reconnect with nature and the horses, and other strong beautiful women provided me with a level of healing that continued long after the weekend ended. Carla is a gentle and supportive facilitator, and with the guidance from her herd, I felt empowered to trust in myself and take that next step in my healing journey. It was truly a magical experience!

Working with Carla and her horses is an excellent way to either validate your core Self—who you truly are—or, alternatively, show a different perspective to the stories we tell ourselves. I have experienced several Equine Guided Development (EGD) sessions with Carla and each time, I come away feeling stronger in who I am with a deeper sense of trust in whatever process I am moving through. The horses don’t seem to have time for my false perceptions— their body language cuts to the chase and illuminates my truth.
As an ARC practitioner, I have referred several of my clients to Carla. EGD gently follows through and solidifies the core themes we explore in the ARC session. I highly value Carla’s work.

Carla’s retreat weekend was my first experience taking part in personal development work. Having spent years with horses in a more traditional way it was new and amazing to work with horses in the realm of equine guided development. I received clear messages on what I needed to do to make changes. I immediately implemented new life-coping strategies into both my business and personal life. The learning continues. Thank you Carla! CH
