Biodynamicaval

Biodynamicaval is a horse-assisted therapy and training centre in Montbrison, in France’s Loire region. Founded around the work of Dominique Gutierrez, it combines biodynamic psychology, a body-oriented therapeutic approach, with the horse’s role as a sensitive, non-judgmental partner. The centre uses this relationship to help people explore communication, self-awareness, confidence and personal autonomy, supporting emotional, mental, physical and energetic balance.

Its activities are open to children, adolescents and adults, as well as people with physical, psychological or social disabilities. Offerings include children’s and teenagers’ workshops, school-holiday programmes, residential summer courses, adult weekends and adapted riding. Individual and group sessions provide opportunities to work with horses in a supportive setting. Biodynamicaval also offers professional training for care staff and riding instructors who want to develop their practice in animal-assisted support, including training as a relational horse practitioner.

Located at 9 Allée des Haras in Montbrison, Biodynamicaval presents its work through activities, events, testimonials and media, and invites prospective participants to get in touch for further information.
