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!

5 STARS! Juliana’s weekend retreat for burnout was exactly what I needed. I came into it on a healing journey with some of my own tools and a love of horses. I came out of it with new knowledge, a deeper sense of peace and bread crumbs that I feel can lead me to a life of deeper meaning and purpose. Learning went beyond theoretical understanding to embodied experience with the horses teaching me lessons that have made a lasting impression.
Thank you Juliana, Mae and Oz!

5 STARS! We had such a wonderful time at the kids horse workshop! From the moment we arrived, the environment felt welcoming and calm — perfect for kids to feel safe and curious. Juliana, the facilitator, was absolutely fantastic. Her patience, warmth, and genuine love for the horses (and the kids!) really made the experience special. The workshop was thoughtfully organized and very hands-on. The children got to meet the horses up close and learn how to care for them, from brushing and feeding to understanding their behaviour. Juliana made everything age-appropriate and engaging, and the kids were beaming with confidence and joy by the end. It was clear that the horses were well-loved and comfortable, which made the whole experience even more heartwarming. I highly recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a meaningful, fun, and educational activity for kids. We’ll definitely be back — thank you, Juliana, for such a lovely and memorable day!

5 STARS! Juliana held space wonderfully and her horses were so calm and kind, truly gentle giants. My two daughters aged 7 and 9 absolutely loved the experience, spending time grooming the horses and connecting with them. Juliana's efforts to ensure that our dietary needs were met went above and beyond our expectations. We very much enjoyed our day with Juliana and her horses!

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!
