Helping people find their own answers
OUR STORY
“Stables are a place to have your horses, but it’s key to have your mind stable, so there’s double meaning in our name.”
- Liz Dos Santos, Owner + Visionary, Stablemindz.
The Stablemindz story begins in France with a little girls’ love of horses. That little girl was Liz, and her love has stayed strong across multiple continents and burns even brighter today than all those years ago. Now, mixed with a rich, varied and successful mental health career, Liz is the proud owner of the progressive Equine Assisted Therapy business, Stablemindz.
When asked to reflect on her principles, Liz replies: “I don’t take a deficiency based approach to health. When I look around, I see so many people who are fearful. We live in fear, and it stops people wanting to try something new, just in case. But what would happen if we tried? “Just in case” would be seen for what it really is. A fear based imagining holding people back from experiencing a wonderful expansive life. It breaks my heart, truly. We keep people in boxes, just doing the same thing.”
Stablemindz is Liz’s answer to a problem the world over. It’s an invitation to people who may be caught in a pattern where that pattern no longer serves them. Liz’s mental health social worker background ideally positions her to work daily with people who often experience complex psychosocial disabilities. Whether it’s addiction, anxiety, at risk youth, ADHD, eating disorders or corporate team building activities to facilitate increased awareness, self-awareness and presenteeism, you’re sure to find Liz and her cherished Bijou and Pepito doing what they love the most: exploring the life enhancing benefits of being present.
