Connecting with a horse is

connecting with yourself

I believe horses want to help us; they have a natural desire to lead us into ourselves, to help us uncover the magic that exists inside, the power that we are all born with. 

My mission is to assist the horses, to empower people through experiential learning. I have discovered so much more beyond riding from the horses and I want to share it with as many people as possible.  

Conscious Equine Connections is about facilitating loving relationships with our horses, with ourselves and with others. It’s about being in the moment, connecting with the now and uncovering our true self.

WHY I WORK BY DONATION

the power of priceless

When we discover something or create a service the first thing we do is package it and attach a price tag. In a capitalist society, this is how we generate income. We are all conditioned to fear scarcity and as a result we are all driven to earn more money.

We are also conditioned to attribute value based on cost. The higher the price tag the more valuable it must be. Most of us understand that true value goes way beyond how much something costs but we still find ourselves judging the worth of something based on its price.

It’s true, we need money to survive in this world but we can engage with the system from a loving place of abundance or we can engage with it from a place of fear and loathing. I’m trying a gifting system in part because I want to change how I feel about money and value.

The most loving thing for me to do is to offer you my time without the expectation of anything in return. I am doing for you what I would love to be done for me. It’s an ethical exchange which challenges the way we view society, if we continue to operate in the same way we always have then we will continue to have the same results and I believe in a brighter future.

By offering my services by donation, I ensure equal access for everyone. Many healing, wellness and learning modalities are prohibitively expensive, this system ensures that price is never a barrier.

I searched and searched for the right thing to do. I am very much governed by my sense of morality and justice; I must believe I am living and working ethically in order to feel happy and fulfilled. As the journey continued, it became less about what kind of career I wanted and more about what kind of life I wanted to live.

I enjoy creating a nurturing climate that facilitates growth and discovery. A stimulating environment is very important for me so I naturally try to create that for my clients. I am a positive problem solver who enjoys getting creative with others to assist them on their journey. I believe our purpose here is to grow in our capacity for unconditional love.

I believe horses can help us grow, they are reflections of us and they challenge us in the exact way we need it most. A strong sense of responsibility is another one of my traits, I believe we attract what we need to grow. If we are aware and connected, wiling to address our twists then we needn’t continuously experience pain; but we have to take responsibility for our own growth. Others can assist us with our healing but only you can truly heal yourself.

Emotions are the language of the soul. Feeling them authentically is the key to a harmonious existence. Horses also help us with this by offering themselves as confidants and friends, they are the ultimate therapists and I believe they heal us on levels we don’t consciously understand.

What would you do if you had no fear? What would your life look like if you didn’t tell yourself constantly, I can’t? Empowerment for me is about having confidence in yourself, believing in your self and growing into a well rounded leader. Again, the challenges horses present us encourage us to find this power, to embrace it and to use it in a non-predatory, compassionate way.

Join me on this journey of discovery and lets learn together what the horses can teach us!

I had the gift of working with Jewlz and Dudley the horse last week. I've always wanted to be near horses, never having grown up with them. I loved it. But what I learned has resonated with me and I have found myself talking about it with others. Besides the absolute pleasure and thrill of working with both of them, the experience showed me how I show up in relationships; although I had an idea of who I am in life, my eyes were opened to a crucial piece that I had never truly understood before. Jewlz and Dudley showed me that relationship happens in the place between boundaries. There is so much more, but I wanted to share this so that others can have the opportunity to experience the profound life lessons that I have. I am forever grateful. Thank you!

It was my first experience with EFL and I loved it a lot. Juliana was very well prepared and switched up the program based on my needs. It’s surprising how much horses can teach you about yourself! Definetely worth doing!

I highly recommend her! It was so great to find someone here in Malta who shares the same views and training techniques as me and helping me and my sisters much further with our riding/handling skills and relationship to the horses that we are working than we could ever imagined! She gave me the confirmation that we are on the right path! Juliana listens to what the horse has to say and gives them the choice to decide (which is for me very important) - because of that I trusted her 100% and I could leave her train my horse when I am not there, which is for me very rare since I am very wary with who handles my horses. She never raised her voice or used pressure on them and you could see the expression of the horses that they were very content and relaxed when working with her. You could see that she has loads of experience with horses and their owner and how to make them a better team. One of the most important lessons I learned from her is to stop and start listening to what the horse has to say. Through that we found out that my mare when acting up, was due to the fact that she was very empathic and picked up on that I was not very relaxed/concentrated/in the right place enough. And we noticed as well that she needed loads of space and felt always too crowded when working in a faster pace and when more than one person is there (e.g. cleaning her). I found it always very nice to see that even when giving a riding lesson and the focus is on the rider, she still would check in on the horse and talk to him/her. You don't see that often. So I just wanted to say THANK YOU Juliana! Glad to have met you and call you a friend! We will miss you dearly here and good luck with everything!

Juliana is the "real deal." A truly compassionate equestrian, educated in the fine art of traditional riding, yet well rounded in her contemporary education in regards to EFL and the higher consciousness of human/equine connectivity.
Susan Gordon
I feel very lucky that I had EFL sessions with Jewlz. I have already experienced EFL before, but her classes were different, unique. Each class has given me a new perspective about my life and skills related to interpersonal topics. Her approach is practical which helped me to first experience and then integrate the wisdom which horses carry for us.Thank you very much ♥ And I´m looking forward to read your book 🙂
