Wedgetail Therapy 205 Parkinsons Road, Launching Place, Victoria 3139

Welcome to Wedgetail Therapy, a unique establishment located in the picturesque Yarra Valley of Australia. Situated at Launching Place, Parkinsons Road, 205, our institution is a point of interest for those seeking holistic health solutions.

At Wedgetail Therapy, we take a distinctive approach that supports personal exploration through creative practice, with the horse-human-nature connection at its core. Our team of qualified Art Therapists and Equine Therapists offer a range of therapeutic services to promote experiential learning in a safe and supervised space.

Equine Therapy, one of our primary offerings, involves interactions between horses and people, fostering a deeper understanding of oneself and others. This unique experience can have profound benefits, particularly for individuals dealing with trauma, PTSD, or seeking mindfulness practices.

Art Therapy, on the other hand, utilizes the creative process of making art to enhance physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Our qualified therapists guide individuals through this expressive therapy, helping them discover new avenues for self-expression and self-discovery.

For those seeking a deeper connection with nature, our institution is spread across more than 150 acres of beautiful bushland and pasture, complete with an orchard, nature trails, and abundant wildlife. We offer immersive nature sessions, with or without the inclusion of horses or art experiences.

Wedgetail Therapy is proud to be one of the longest-standing Equine Therapy facilities in the Yarra Valley, with a history dating back to 2005. Our services cater to both children and adults, and we provide sessions for NDIS and private clients.

When you choose Wedgetail Therapy, you benefit from our unique combination of Art Therapy and Equine Therapy, delivered by qualified professionals. Unlike many other institutions, we have no waitlist, ensuring you can receive the support you need without delay. Our all-weather indoor and outdoor facilities, spread across 150 acres of stunning land, provide a comfortable and natural setting for your therapeutic journey.

Our therapy herd, established since 2005, is well-known for its healing qualities. Our horses play a vital role in helping participants learn new ways to lead, inspire, and find compassion and strength in everyday life. No prior experience with horses is required, as we focus on groundwork activities and practical skills sessions. Please note that we do not offer horse riding, but for some clients, a mounted and led experience may be therapeutically indicated in line with NDIS goals.

Located just a one-hour drive from Melbourne, Wedgetail Therapy allows you to experience the beauty of the Yarra Valley while engaging in transformative therapy sessions with our safe and gentle horses. Our diverse horse facility is founded upon the principles of natural horsemanship, providing people of all abilities with opportunities to learn, heal, and forge conscious connections with these majestic animals.

We would like to acknowledge that we live and work on unceded Kulin Nation land, specifically of the Wurundjeri people. As an institution, we are deeply grateful for this opportunity and are committed to supporting First People in regenerating their lifeways and earthways.

At Wedgetail Therapy, we embrace diversity and inclusion, fostering an environment that promotes respect and dignity for all. Discrimination and harassment based on neurodiversity, race, color, age, religion, sex, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, veteran, military or marital status, genetic information, or any other protected status will not be tolerated.
