Grüezi! My name is Edith, and I am an immigrant from Switzerland. I founded Serendipity Ranch whilst I was working part-time at the RBWH. I use my experience as an Equine Assisted Learning Facilitator, Life Coach and now Counsellor, and horsemanship, and a background as a former CCU-RN (Passive member) with AHPRA to specialise in Equine Assisted Therapy.
Think Tank Outposts
We offer Think Tank Outpost workshops for Personal Growth and Leadership with horses as thinking partners.
Horses are prey animals and therefore living in the present. They are aware that they could be someone’s lunch at any time. To survive, they need make decisions very quickly. When they feel safe, they are relaxed and curious. Feelings is all there is for them. Either they feel safe or not. He lives in his perfect world.

How does Equine-Assisted Therapy help?
Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT) fosters self-awareness by allowing individuals to learn about themselves through interactions with horses.
Horses reflect human emotions and behaviours, providing real-time, non-verbal feedback that helps individuals understand their inner selves, much like Carl Jung’s philosophy of self-reflection:
“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”
Horses simply being themselves create this powerful connection, offering participants a unique way to experience and process their feelings.
Sessions
At Serendipity Ranch, our sessions are immersive, hands-ontherapeutic experiences designed to foster growth andself-awareness through creativity and connection.
Equine-Assisted Therapy
Equine Assisted Therapy is experiential therapy and the process of learning occurs through engaging in activities with horses and making meaning from the experience. The activities promote reflection, analysis and therefore, a client is engaged intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically.
Room-based Creative Counselling
