Testimonials

I loved the experience! I felt safe, heard, and supported. I felt a beautiful connection with Burusca and a deep sense of peace. I felt at peace knowing that I was in a free and safe space where I only had to focus on myself and my well-being. I had never been able to open up like this and truly understand what I feel. Today was something I will carry in my heart forever. Thank you for the incredible space and support!

Constanza, Youth Program

My experience with Charlene and Burusca has been one of the most transformative of my life. More than just a safe and healing space, it’s a portal to a universe we know is closeby but almost always out of reach. The environment, the guidance, the presence and heart of an animal so immense, so pure, and so generous invite you to enter a sacred dimension where all things coexist—our fears and our sweetest longings, past and future lives, and above all a vibrant, palpable connection with the present. The impact goes far beyond the experience itself; I went two months ago and the reverberations are still as fresh as on the first day. In a world that invites us—and even forces us!—to disconnect from ourselves and the emotions that pass through us, Charlene offers a space (magical in itself) to heal and return home.

I was able to take part in a group therapy session with people in delicate health conditions, and I saw how our attitude improved—and, as a result, so did our physical health. It’s a process of deep, holistic, emotional healing. Feeling the deep connection between human and horse moves me profoundly. I was very surprised by the mare’s behavior when I thought about a difficult moment—she would come close right away and stay near me. I saw how she acted like a mirror, showing me the truth. It was truly impressive. I want to continue my therapy with Healing Horses because I’ve experienced positive and remarkable results after going through a full process with Charlene Music and her horses. When I first arrived, I was terrified, full of fear—and now I feel relieved, light, and confident. What I’m taking with me is the learning that expressing emotions is key to understanding and healing them. In horses, I’ve found connections and similarities that strengthen my instincts. Thank you, Healing Horses, for this beautiful experience.

I would describe this experience as extraordinary. I will always remember how sacred it felt to be close to an animal so full of beauty in every sense—a shared language that felt both unique and universal. Before coming to Healing Horses, I felt stuck. Now I feel a sense of possibility, clarity, and confidence. Charlene honestly felt magical, like a bridge between my surroundings and what I needed to bring out from within. I even felt like she was one of the horses—in the best sense of the word! I’ve participated in many types of therapy before, but this felt different. Being surrounded by nature made a huge difference. I felt dynamism, spontaneity, and freedom. I would recommend this experience to the people I love and wish for them to experience something you can’t even imagine exists. It’s an excellent complement to healing and also a way to stay in balance—so I wouldn’t recommend it only for those going through something difficult, but as part of a lifestyle… at least once a year.

I would describe this as a unique, enriching experience—one of deep personal growth. A healing experience. I sought it out at a pivotal moment in my life, when many of the foundations I had built upon were either shaken or had fallen apart. This experience came at a truly meaningful time, allowing me to release and ease a lot of pain. I arrived carrying fears, emotional wounds, and doubts. Today, I look at myself in the mirror and feel light, grounded, and whole—my wounds have healed and scars have softened. Healing Horses gave me incredibly valuable tools to see things from new perspectives and to let go of what no longer serves me. I’m not the same person who walked in that February 23rd—I am a stronger, renewed woman.

Karla

It was a very beautiful experience, very freeing, and truly something new for me. Becoming aware of the feelings of animals, and in this case, horses, is truly magical. I take a lot with me from this space, just as I leave something behind.

Marco, Youth Program

It's hard for me to put the experience into words. During the process, I was able to heal things I had been carrying since childhood—things I didn’t even realize were still there. Burusca (a loving mare) was deeply connected to my emotions; she absorbed them and, at the same time, helped me heal. Charlene is so sweet, kind, caring, and respectful—she has a calming and trustworthy presence. She took care of us and was always by our side. I arrived feeling heavy, full of fear, insecure, and sad. I left feeling free, calm, with my eyes on a beautiful present and future—grateful and happy. My father’s absence no longer hurts. I am healed and free. I’ve truly been blessed!

Irene

I sought this experience, first of all, because of my health condition. I was searching for more confidence, faith, hope — a deeper belief in myself… That connection with nature and the horses is truly powerful. That peace, through everything that surrounds us, in harmony with nature and the horses—it’s more than one can imagine; it’s something I now carry in my heart. Now I miss every second I spent there. I feel stronger and grateful for this gift from the universe. Charlene is an expert at what she does. She is understanding, a friend, a companion. She knows what each of us needs without words. I am grateful for her human understanding, and her experience is truly unique.

Lorena

I received this experience as a birthday gift, without knowing what I was walking into. I’m very much a dog and cat person; I don’t know much about the world of horses. I was really struck by Burusca’s initiative to “do her thing” without external cues—and even her tendency to sometimes be a bit invasive with the personal space I’m used to also fascinated me. It made everything feel more real, especially since I’m used to experiences where “physical-emotional safety” tends to hold everything else back. The learning I’m taking with me is the power and clarity in nature (manifested through Burusca & Charlene) that also lives within us—but that needs a “mirror” to become more visible. It was a connection with my own power and clarity. The difference between before and after visiting Healing Horses is subtle… Now I feel more trust in life than I felt before. Very subtle. Charlene is an incredible facilitator—loving, respectful, intuitive, and at the same time very grounded and direct, in the best possible way. I could have stayed in that space all day.

Experiencing EGCM with Healing Horses was beyond profound. Horses are healers.
