Anne O' Riordan

Hi I’m Anne and I’m an Eagala Certified Equine Specialist

Horses became part of my life when I was twelve and I became a horse owner at twenty four. I now have my own property that’s home to me, my dog, cats and horses.

Here at Slánú Services we welcome you to just be you. I’m lucky to have several Mental Health Professionals that are also Eagala Certified to team with to help you.

I love that Eagala sessions are not talk therapy sessions. Yes you are free to talk as much or as little as you want to. We are here to guide you with our four legged teammates.

Please get in touch if you’d like to know more. I’d be delighted to chat/text/email and bring an Eagala team together to assist you :)
