Red Barn Wellness Farm

A friend and I attended a day retreat 'Healing with Horses' with Fontini and the herd Malachi, Spirit, Penny and Isa. We thoroughly enjoyed our day, learning through the help of the horses' wise souls, and Fontini's knowledgeable guidance. It was an eye opening and heartwarming experience. A pleasure to meet the other 2 participants, and a lovely lunch enjoyed on the back patio. Looking forward to attending yoga in the future. Thanks again Fontini for a wonderful and healing retreat:)

I would like to thank Fotini and the horses, especially Malachi, for bringing light into my life at The Big Red Barn at a much needed time. It was a profound experience that set me on a path of joy and self discovery. I am so grateful and looking forward to Reiki training and future sessions that this sacred place has to offer.

Fotini, we look forward to being back to the barn in the summer for the wellness and creativity camp. Ella returned home with renewal and more knowledge of mindfulness. Your kind soul and guidance is a special vehicle, one that allows their awareness and vibration to rise to a higher level in a safe place. We appreciate and are grateful for you and your work xo

Yet again today, a session with Fotini and The Herd was EVERYTHING. Each session has elevated me and facilitated profound emotional, mental and physical transformation. From the heart,through the heart, heart to heart. The Horses asTeacher and Fotini are the best “therapy” I can imagine-gentle, respectful and amazingly profound. Pure joy.I’ve recently also joined with Fotini in Reiki- she is unbelievably intuitive and attuned.Gift yourself please with the magical of this beautiful, loving and transformative environment and learning experience. You’ll find yourself. You’ll find love.

At 20 I knew that I wanted to be a yoga teacher. I loved the practice then as much as I do now, and it was my guiding light out of some of my periods of darkness. Finally 5 years later, after taking the very scenic route to moving forward with my dreams, my sister informed me about Fotini and her program. It could not have been more perfect timing for me to sign up. The program that Fotini has put together at The Big Red Barn Creativity and Wellness Centre is structured to teach so much more than just asana practice. Of course there were a lot of teachings about the physical aspect of Yoga, but I was also given the opportunity to dip my toes into many other subjects under to Yogic umbrella. Fotini’s YTTC was the perfect program to introduce myself to a deeper understanding of yoga and of myself. She is a wonderful facilitator and space holder for the personal evolution that comes with the deepening of a yoga practice. This program is more than a YTTC; it is a beautiful opportunity to deepen awareness and mindfulness, and that is such a gift. I could not have conjured up a more perfect fit for myself in regards to the program and Fotini herself. I am so grateful to have had her guide me through my first TTC.

Fotini's many years of experience with horses and the arts of yoga and meditation are beyond one's expectations.Fotini has been my yoga mentor for the past year and her skills, passion and dedication offer me the confidence and security needed to build my self esteem and release stresses and anxieties of my day to day routine.Once introducing the horses into our yoga routine, Fotini facilitated an experience that cannot be described in words. The horses were gentle and provided an warm and calm environment. Their hypnotic breathing enlightened my yoga experience entrusting myself to them and Fotini completely.I would highly recommend Fotini's enlightened services to everyone, as we all encounter bumps in our journey in life and need to take time to bring us back to center.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for gently guiding and giving me the opportunity to finally meet myself. Because of your guidance I've created such a harmonious and safe space within myself. Fotini, thank you for showing up just as you are and showing each of us how to build our own bridge to the other side.

Approaching the horses for the first time was very calming .No stressful thoughts. No anxious behaviour. Just being around them gave me a sense of warmth, confidence and security. Most trustworthy experience ever, all my senses and awareness were heightened. This is the best healing encounter you will ever experience no matter what your intentions are for experiencing the horse wisdom offered by these amazing beings.Fotini and Kevin are incredibly warm and welcoming. You can feel their passion for the land, the horses and their clients. Fotini's many years of training and expertise really show in her facilitation skills with the horses. I would highly recommend!

I recently studied Equine Reiki with Fontini and the herd Malachi, Spirit, Penny and Isa. It was magical! A profound experience that has changed me. I can't express the gratitude I feel for the wisdom, learning and training! And can Fontini cook!!! Lunch was incredible!
