"Julie is an intuitive, experiential and energetic group facilitator that keeps everyone involved in the process. Group members are provided the opprotunity to gain tremendous insight about their relationships. This experience proves to be invaluable, whether you are seeking personal growth, recovery from substance abuse or improvement in your relationships." Tammy Maxey. MS, LPC, LCAS
I've really enjoyed getting to know you and I appreciate all you've done for us. I admire that you're always open and honest with us and manage to stay positive even on hard days. I was aprehensive about equine at first, but it quickly became the thing I looked forward to every week. Being with the horses has given me more confidence in myself and allowed me to channel my energy into something good. Thank you for being a part of my journey.

"It was nice being around another creature that would understand me, but would not judge me. It helped with my anixeity, standing next to Bobby, he was so big, but calm". Anna T.

"Horses are exeptional teachers of empowerment. Being with them is truly my favorite thing to do on the planet! I am honored by the amazing individuals that cross my path. I have learned oodles about life through watching the outcomes of the horse/human connections. I offer these services is an expansion of my joy. "
