About Britta
Britta is a lifelong rider and holistic therapist with over 25 years of experience supporting people with stress relief, confidence, body awareness, and nervous system wellbeing.
Combining professional training in Hypnotherapy, NLP, Somatic practices, and Nervous System Regulation with decades of hands-on horse experience, she helps riders feel calmer, more balanced, and more connected with their horses — both in and out of the saddle.
Having worked with horses for many years in Germany in breeding, training support, showing, and horse care, Britta deeply understands the emotional and physical challenges riders can experience, including fear, tension, overthinking, and loss of confidence.
After moving from Germany to New Zealand in 2015, she made the heartbreaking decision to leave behind her beloved horse Sunny, whom she had owned since she was a foal. Choosing her horse’s wellbeing over her own wishes gave Britta an even deeper understanding of the bond between horse and rider, and the importance of calm, compassionate, horse-centred care.
Today, Britta is passionate about helping riders reconnect with themselves and their horses with greater confidence, trust, calmness, and enjoyment.
How I support you:
“I help you feel calm, confident and mobile again — for enjoyable rides and exciting competitions.
