Testimonials3 — Healing Horses

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!

It is a magical experience that opens a path toward a deeper connection with yourself. I will definitely always remember Burusca, her wisdom and her guidance during the session. I can’t stop thinking about her, haha! There were many meaningful moments, but when she layed down on the ground right after I had an “aha moment,” drove home for me the importance of expressing clearly what I think. I have been going to psychoanalysis sessions for many years, which I love, and they are part of my basic survival toolkit 😅. I feel Healing Horses is a wonderful complement, because here I experienced something much more spiritual and emotional, while psychoanalysis feels more mental and emotional. And I feel, at least for me, that the spiritual dimension needs to be part of this journey of connecting with myself. The life mentoring session really helped me bring together everything I felt, because it is a lot of emotion, and it is so valuable to ground those feelings. The virtual session gave me a lot of clarity about what happened to me that day. Charlene is an excellent guide. Her empathy and her nonjudgmental presence make it possible for you to express and connect deeply with yourself, which is often not easy at all.

It was something magical, something that brings you to a very special kind of peace. What I take with me is having overcome fears and having dared to do something I never imagined I would do. I will never forget when Burusca comforted me ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Before coming, I may have been carrying hidden fears, and now I feel free. Charlene is charming, sensitive, and radiates so much peace. It was excellent.

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.

Three years ago, I began an emotional healing journey. I invested in many tools — psychological therapy, psychiatry, family constellations, NLP — but I still felt something was missing. Rationally, I understood what I was feeling and why, yet emotionally I remained attached to those moments of sadness. At Healing Horses, I was finally able to bring both worlds together. I have never felt better in my life than after that session. For me, having Burusca close during my process reminded me of the Universe, of not being alone, and that there are bridges of connection beyond what we believe or see. Burusca was a surge of positive energy, pure energy to heal my soul. I will never forget the moment when she approached me, looked deeply into my eyes, and I felt as if she were saying, ‘You already have the answer, everything is okay, there’s nothing to fear.’ Charlene is a being of light. She has a beautiful energy that you feel from the very first minute of the experience. She is an excellent guide — you always feel supported, but she also has the gift of teaching you how to find your own answers. She turns a personal process that can be complex, overwhelming, and draining into something simple, restorative, and wonderful. I’ve recommended Healing Horses to everyone I love :) I think it’s a magical and transformative experience that can be deeply helpful to anyone.

Burusca has given me so much peace these past few days… what happened with her is something I still haven’t finished processing, it was so magical. I can’t find the words.
Yesterday they called me to schedule my PET scan, and I felt so much peace 🤍. I went into a very deep meditation inside the machine, like Burusca when she lay down on the ground and simply relaxed, radiating that beautiful peace. I’ve been feeling as if I truly let go of that heavy burden, and I’m just allowing myself to drift.

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.

I've been through many types of therapy, but none had put me in direct contact with nature as this one. It's the first time a therapy has invited me to heal and and truly get to know myself through another living being—like a horse… it created a dialogue and connection with life from a completely unique place. Charlene feels indivisible from Burusca. I feel she’s so much more than a mediator or a channel; with her openness, her energy, her humility, and her light, she is an integral part of the experience and the learning. Before and after Healing Horses, I’ve been in a very deep and existential search in my life, but after each encounter, there’s a certainty within me: what I’m searching for does exist—it’s right there, within reach of my heart, whenever I allow myself to pause and open it. Beyond that, the virtual sessions gave me the space to articulate and ground everything I experienced. They helped me integrate it into my life in a clearer, more meaningful way. I would recommend Healing Horses to anyone who is willing to dare to feel. It is a powerful tool that offers a source of mystery and strength — something that can truly accompany you through any situation in life.

I have been in other emotional therapies before. But the experience at Healing Horses is one of a kind. The contact with nature, Burusca, and Charlene’s guidance are incomparable, and the results are noticeable instantly. I came in search of the perfect gift for a heart sister, and my blessing was it turned out to be a gift for two. It is a magical and revealing experience. An awakening and a deeper understanding of repressed emotions. Definitely an experience that cannot be explained with words; you have to live it with all your senses. Sharing with Burusca is a feeling I will always remember. What you experience and learn through her closeness is undescribable. It felt like an invitation and support, even before I knew what was coming next. Before coming, I felt more overwhelmed, tired, and everything felt heavy. Now I feel more clarity, and I feel I have the task of continuing the process of awakening. I would recommend it to anyone, because it is a wonderful experience worth living. We don’t always realize what we are going through, as in my case — because we do not listen to ourselves, or we ignore what our body is shouting at us — until we encounter an experience like this.

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!

It was an experience that had a profound impact on my life by helping me look inward and shift my perspectives. I felt deeply accompanied and guided at every moment — a kind of presence that didn’t interfere but instead nurtured the meeting of my mind, body, and spirit. One moment that touched me: realizing that I had never truly lost any part of myself despite the experiences I had lived through. In feeling this truth, I noticed the intense connection with the horse and how she was communicating with me through her movements and behavior. Before coming, I felt more fearful. Now, I feel more connected to myself, more confident. I carry with me the feeling of discovering treasures in my soul that I once believed were lost — and the wonderful experience of journeying back to myself.

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.

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