Below are some kind words from our graduates of Groundwork Therapy Courses. Many have gone onto achieve psychology degrees, start their own businesses and expand upon their initial learning.
The invitational approach has reshaped the way I relate to horses, people, myself and the world around me. Kylie and the herd have an ability to draw out the innate wisdom and gifts we all carry inside so they can be fully seen, appreciated and used. I have grown exponentially from this training.
The Groundwork Therapy focus on safety has given me professional confidence and shown that keeping things safe for horses and humans means participants get more out of a session or workshop. A standout experience during the training was the opportunity to learn from highly skilled and knowledgeable horsemanship trainers, as well as a valuable segment dedicated to horse health led by an experienced veterinarian.
I will cherish the connections I made with the other practitioners in training and upon completion of the course we were welcomed into the broader practitioner community where Kylie nurtures a spirit of connection and a sense of community among graduates. The Groundwork Therapy practitioner training goes above and beyond providing all the essential skills, tools and knowledge required to become a highly proficient Equine Facilitated Learning practitioner and I cannot recommend it enough.
During 2023/ 2024 I completed and graduated the Ground Work practitioners Training along side some amazing other Ladies.. the experience was up lifting , supported, informative and inspiring. Kylie is an amazing communicator and teacher and she constantly role models her training and her realness .. This training is one of the most amazing things I have done and the best thing is it aligns for me with how I work with horses which has made it feel real and truthful to me and I can relate it... Thank you Kylie and her entire team.

What can i say. The course with Groundwork Therapy was life-changing. Kylie and her team openly share their wealth of knowledge and experiences and provide a safe space for everyone to be their authentic selves within the workshops. I was sceptical at times as some of the concepts were very foreign to me. The GWT teams open and understanding attitude mixed with their warmth and expertise made this a profoundly transformational experience for me and my herd. This course made me a better human, horsewoman and herd member.

My heartfelt gratitude to Kylie and the Groundwork Therapy team for their compassion and commitment to making the world a better place for humans and horses. I searched far and wide for a model that facilitated not only my own personal growth and development but also cared about the safety and welfare needs of horses. What I value most is how the Groundwork Therapy framework provides an invitational educational space that invites horses and humans to integrate deep and profound learnings and connections.

I met Kylie Peters 7 years ago at a Bush Adventure Therapy Conference. At the time I was struggling to find the confidence and clarity to begin my own business, and having a love of horses, booked into her Equine Therapy workshop on a whim. My experience during that day was so powerful, that I left not only with the answers I had been seeking for my business, but also a new passion for facilitating personal development work with horses myself. I completed the Groundwork Therapy Practitioner training in 2019. Kylie’s insight, expertise and invitational approach to teaching was inspirational. Her support has been unwavering, holding compassionate space for me as a student, while inviting me to question, learn and expand my awareness of the work and myself. I have no hesitation in recommending Kylie as a practitioner and teacher.

"Practitioner Training with Kylie Peters and Groundwork Therapy has been a pivotal experience that has helped build the foundation of our EFL programs. The ongoing mentorship and professional development and support from Kylie continues to be invaluable. Kylie truly embodies the invitational approach and walks the talk throughout her training intensives. She brings with her years of practical experience and wisdom that cannot help but enrich the lives of all humans and horses that are privileged to learn and work with her in this amazing space. I strongly encourage anyone who is considering beginning their EFL journey or enhancing their existing practice to connect with Kylie."
Karina Harback
"2 years ago, I attended a Groundwork Therapy clinic at Tamworth where I experienced firsthand some amazing outcomes and progress in just two days. Shortly after I received an invitation to participate in a Practitioner Information Day which I accepted without hesitation. Training with Kylie has been an incredibly rewarding experience and I now look forward to where this new awareness and knowledge takes me."
Lisa Hawkins
"I heard about Kylie and Groundwork Therapy by word of mouth. The level of support offered throughout training (including before and after) has been above and beyond on every level. The skills I have learned and my increased awareness of how I am and interact in the world have impacted my life personally and professionally in ways I couldn’t have fathomed when I started the course. It’s a great feeling after graduation to join the wider herd of GWT practitioners and to share resources and experiences - there is always somewhere to turn with questions and ideas. I feel very lucky to have “accidentally” come across this work, which has led me to reconnect with horses, to explore new paths and to meet some truly amazing people along the way.:
Alice Allen
"I found the structure of the Groundwork Therapy training programme to be engaging and exciting. I was really taken with the idea of incorporating the equine facilitated approach into my client work and wanted a training program that would give me the confidence to begin this new approach with clients. The Groundwork Therapy programme has given me the skills and training I needed to undertake this journey with my clients. I feel well positioned to engage with clients safely, sensibly and creatively in offering this work to them. The response from clients has been amazing and I love that I now have the capacity and ability to facilitate this form of work in my practice. Kylie offers a thorough training course and follow up professional development opportunities with support on line to catch up as a group. The training was fun, exciting and has led me to a new place of connection with my clients and horses."

"As a previous student of Ground Work Therapy training, I found the program exceptional. The comprehensive curriculum and hands-on experience with horses equipped me with the skills and confidence to become an effective equine therapist. Highly recommend this transformative training!"
Gina Scott
"Groundwork Therapy Training has profoundly impacted the way I work with my horses and with people. The notion that the work is invitational has taught me to closely observe in a way I never have before, and my horses and the people I work with are the big winners in that. Kylie is warm, astute, a strong clear communicator and a massive advocate for this incredible work."
Mary Jane Pell
"Kylie, Groundwork Therapy, has provided very professional, focussed and highly resourced instruction and training in Equine therapy. Her dedication to both human and horse herd is inspirational. Highly recommend Groundwork Therapy as THE standard for equine therapy training in Australia."
