The Forest Edge Team

Helen Gilbert

  • Whole horse health & Well-being
  • Essential Alignment & Integration
  • Neurofascial & Myofacial release
  • Lymphatic drainage

At the heart of my practice is a deep respect for the healing power of nature and the connection between horse and human. I offer essential alignment and integration of musculoskeletal soft tissues or myofacial system, to gently restore balance in the horse’s body and mind. Working intuitively and with care, I create a space for healing on all levels by releasing tension, supporting recovery, and enhancing performance. Collaboratively at Forest Edge our approach supports both horses and people, fostering calm, connection, and wellbeing in a natural, grounded way.

Georgie McBurney

  • Psycho-Spiritual Counselling & Psychoeducation
  • Somatic Shamanism & Eco Therapy
  • Matrix Reimprinting (with Emotional Freedom Technique)
  • Equine Facilitated Therapy & Animal Behaviourist

My practice supports humans by exploring dis-ease at an emotional, mental and spiritual level. I have specialised in inner child psychoeducation/work, which includes active visualisations, experiential learning with nature and the horses which aims to gently restore balance of your psyche and connection to all others we share space with. At Forest Edge, we aim to support both horse and human in a restorative and empowering way.

Suzanne Cray

  • Building Emotional Resilience
  • Supporting Mental Health
  • Reducing Anxiety Programme
  • Building Community Support

My practice supports children and adults to cope, thrive and flourish in the society we live in. Incorporating my educational and corporate experiences I support schools and communities develop a culture of resilience which supports positive mental health. At Forest Edge, we are building a community to support connection to each other and the great web of life.

The Four Legged

Georgie is the guardian to our two mares Jojo and Pixie, and Suzanne to our gelding, Jet. We have two spirit horses Jac and Dolly who oversee and guide the team.

Pixie

Pixie, is a Welsh B pony and has known Georgie since she was a foal. She is a confident, curious, embodied little soul who enjoys exploring new things, meeting people and making them feel welcome. Pixie is ‘joy’ in physical form which often invites people to connect to their own joy, or at least smile.

Bahira Johara (Jojo)

Jojo, is an Arabian with Egyptian ancestry and has a lot of dignity. She is spiritual, empathic, and reads energy well. Although grey, she is kissed by fire and has had to use anger to be safe with humans and other horses. Its taken time for her to reconnect to her own body, and trust people.

Jet

Jet is a purebred Hackney Horse with a sensitive, intelligent nature. Over three years, Suzanne has gained his trust through gentle, consistent care. When he feels safe, his playful spirit and loyal companionship start to shine through.

Forest Edge Community

Thanks to our growing community of support and supporters.

Thanks to all members of the ‘Jojo team’ past and present which is how this community began. In Nov 2022, a small group came together so we could rescue Johara when her owner abandoned her with Georgie. Jojo’s journey onwards would not have been easy or achievable without financial support. Helen helped with Jojo’s kissing spine and central alignment which helped her out of pain, allowed her to move more freely and stabilised her emotionally. Now, the ‘team’ has expanded and includes many others who support ‘Forest Edge’ in many other ways and in return we support them where we can. If you would like to join our community why not come along to one of our events.
