The listening herd...
a life as pure as snow
To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold.*
Lulu came into my life because I was looking and she was needing to be found. Lulu has suffered with her fair share of anxiety and troubles in her 10 years of life so far and our relationship has been tested at times. She has made me stand out in the cold many times, metaphorically and physically and helped me learn things about myself I never knew were there. She has given me the strength, belief and tools to overcome my own traumas and heal my soul. Over the past 9 years (and it still continues) we have transformed and grown together, and now we are also joined by Duchess and Little Mav. Our group doesn't stop there we have connections with other equine life coaches, therapists and facilitators in a journey of welcoming people and helping improve their over-all wellbeing, self esteem and bring life into balance. We are here to help you find your inner butterfly, so feel free to get in touch.
