The idea of Meet Me In The Meadow began in 2022 when Ella witnessed her horse (Princess) display a deep emotional intelligence for a child who was diagnosed with autism. Whenever Princess was around this child, she would move more slowly and become gentler in her approach. By spending time together, the child began to look forward to spending time outdoors and was able to develop their communication skills and fine motor skills. Inspired, Ella began researching the benefits of Equine-Assisted Therapy and enrolled with Equine-Assisted Therapy Australia. In January 2025, Ella graduated and became a qualified Counsellor and Equine Assisted Mental Health Practitioner. Fast forward to May 2025, and Meet Me In The Meadow is born in the beautiful suburb of Pullenvale.

At Meet Me In The Meadow, we ensure our horses are treated as co-therapists and respect how much they decide to participate in sessions.  For us, horses are not tools to be used but instead valuable co-therapists that can contribute deep and useful insights to the therapeutic process.

Our approach draws on Gestalt Psychotherapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Equine-Assisted Therapy, Mindful Practice, Nature-Based Therapy, a Person-centred approach, and the use of art and music for creating/making.
