ABOUT US
We are Maria and Monica, and we were doing this before it was a trend.
​
Heal with Horses was founded by Maria Ollero and Monica Kubik, certified Horse Guided Empowerment® facilitators based in Dubai, UAE.
We launched in January 2020, when the founder of the Horse Guided Empowerment® method, Christina Marz, came to Dubai to train the first cohort of facilitators in the UAE.
​
Since then, we have grown into one of the most experienced equine-assisted practices in the Middle East, with over 15 certified facilitators trained across the UAE alone, and the method now present in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kenya, and beyond.
​
Our vision is simple: to help people heal and transform through their relationship with horses, with deep respect for the horse, and deep care for the human.
How can we Help You
Horses know what you're hiding.
That's where transformation starts.
​
Horses are extraordinarily sensitive animals, prey animals wired to read body language, energy, and emotional congruence with a precision that no human can match. They respond not to what you say, but to who you are in any given moment.
​
This is why equine-assisted coaching and healing produces results that traditional talk-based approaches and conventional workshops often cannot. Working on the ground, no riding, no prior experience needed, sessions with horses help you:
-
Regulate your nervous system and release stored stress
-
Uncover and process trauma, grief, anxiety, and fear
-
Build self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience
-
Develop authentic leadership and communication skills
-
Reconnect with your instincts, your body, and your truth
​
Whether you are an individual seeking personal healing, a team looking to lead differently, or a company investing in meaningful employee wellbeing, this work meets you exactly where you are.
