Comments from c.e.u. course participants:

"Thank you for such a wonderful workshop. I can't remember when I've enjoyed myself so much while learning something new!" (Patricia Michals, LCSW, MFT)

"Thank you so much. I walked away with a lot of good insight for myself personally and it was nice being at your special place. ..(the workshop was) a very good experience in body awareness, trust and relationship, and inter-species communication. You do great work!" (Judy Liu, MFT) 

"Horses and Healing was a truly unique and valuable training. Whether you want to incorporate horses into your practice or not, there's rich material both personal and clinical to leave with. The training was a wonderful blend of theory and experience and facilitated a natural awareness of body and emotion, giving insight into the influence and interaction between both. A safe environment was created stressing attention to both the personal and interpersonal, the need for boundaries and the emotion and meaning behind them. I highly recommend this workshop for any therapist." (Sylvia Flanagan, MFT)

"It was such a deepening experience for me.  I continue to integrate the insights in my personal work as I reference something happening currently to the feelings and experiences of the time with the wonderful horses.  Thank you for providing such a unique and healing experience."
