"My favorite thing about working with kiddos is how creative I can get in our sessions. I love being able to get crafty and think outside of the box to find fun ways to accomplish goals.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me with my dog on the hiking trails. I spend a lot of my time with my dog; we are even training to compete in agility
"My favorite thing about working with kiddos is how creative I can get in our sessions. I love being able to get crafty and think outside of the box to find fun ways to accomplish goals.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me with my dog on the hiking trails. I spend a lot of my time with my dog; we are even training to compete in agility competitions. One day I would like to get him certified as a therapy animal and use him in treatment sessions."

Having the opportunity to work with and learn from Julianne is an awesome experience and being even a small part of helping her clients reach their goals is something that I hold dear to my heart. When you love what you do, it's not really work. The beauty of the property, getting to spend time with the animals, and the opportunity to help others is priceless! The physical workout here is much more fun than going to a gym too! (grin)"

H2H is a magical place. the calming atmosphere on the farm and being in contact with the horses is both uplifting and peaceful. Although it's a lot of work, it's extremely rewarding. volunteering here has been a wonderful experience for me. Julianne and her team are an absolute joy to work with! Becoming certified in Horse Powered Reading has enabled me to work with children in literacy using horses as the child's reading buddy. As a retired teacher, this is a unique opportunity to incorporate the warmth and calmness of horses with children and literacy. The little miracles that occur here on a daily basis is extraordinary! Their smiles say it all!

"Volunteering at H2H has been such an amazing opportunity for me. I can't express the joy I feel when working alongside Julianne and the rest of the team. I have a background in photography and teaching, which has helped me fill several positions here at H2H. But it has also challenged me to learn more and venture into new areas that I found to be enjoyable. Watching not only my own children, but others grow with Equine Assisted therapy has been one of one biggest blessing."
