A safe space for equestrians to restore their human-horse bond transforming fear and pain into confidence and connection.

Heather McPherson

My STory

A Little extra about my colourful life…

I am a wife and a mother of two beautiful teen daughters. In my personal time you’ll find me wandering our neighbourhood with our beloved dog, Joey or supporting our daughters with their sporting endeavours. One of which is an equestrian!

  • I am from New York, a dual citizen and lived in 4 countries

  • I love ALL creatures great and small

  • I have worked in zoos and spent time learning and volunteering at The Dolphin Research Center in Grassy Key, Florida

True Colours Healing emerged from the symbolism of the dragonfly. Symbolising change and transformation and that it takes time in understanding our emotions and to shine our’ true colours.’

All my lived experiences allow me to have unique perspectives and skill-set.

What to expect

  • Root Cause Therapy is not a quick fix. Healing takes time just as it did for your symptoms to develop. Healing is possible.

  • We tap into the intelligence that the body and mind already hold pinpointing exactly where and what to work on in each session..

  • With the use of a ‘Testing Sheet’ we are able to monitor subtle shifts and changes and give tangible feedback during each session.

How you’ll feel

  • Have new empowering thoughts and beliefs for the future

  • Feelings of safety and peace

  • Feeling more confident, connected and well within yourself

Do you have questions?

  • No, there is no horseback riding involved at True Colours Healing - Equine Experiential Learning & Somatic Coaching sessions. Horsemanship or horse experience is not required in order to benefit from these healing sessions.

  • If you were booked for an EEL & Somatic session with the horses, then your session will be rescheduled. If you are booked in for a Root Cause Therapy session at the agistment, then your appointment can still go ahead and be moved to the barn/tearoom.

  • EEL & Somatic Coaching or Root Cause Therapy sessions please allow anywhere from 60-90min

  • A Canter Success!

    “After a few falls off a horse during the canter years ago and a new pony who has issues cantering on one-direction, that was causing anxiety…”I’m now cantering comfortably…realising my fear & anxiety no longer serve me now.” (In conjunction with a riding instructor) . “

  • I definitely recommend Heather for support in all aspects of life

    “Heather has been amazing for my healing journey. She has helped me overcome barriers, thoughts and patterns that weren’t helping me move forward past my trauma & other issues. I have turned a corner and look forward to what the future holds. .”

  • Both rider and pony listen to each other coherently.

    “Farah has really calmed since you have been working with her. Almost as if she’s been listened to as if a weight has been lifted off her shoulders. Originally resisting…my student has fallen in love with Farah and seems to be a perfect match.

    Equine Experiential Learning & Somatic Coaching

    Using the power of the relationship between horses and humans helping adults heal from trauma, bring new information to conscious awareness and explore experiences for deeper meaning.

    how I can help

  • How EEL Works

    Do It: Have an experience with a horse (your horse) and talk about what change you would like to see in your life.

    Do What?: Bringing awareness - to the experience - what you noticed with the horse and within your body.

    What Next?: Making meaning - how might the experience reflect in your own life and what does that mean for you.
