About the experience...

This work is a unique blend of Equine-Facilitated Learning, Reiki, and Life Coaching on a serene horse farm. No riding is required—sessions take place on the ground, at your comfort level, even if you’ve never met a horse before. Together, these practices create a holistic, transformative experience—one that invites relaxation, growth, and a new relationship with yourself, nature, and the wisdom of the herd. Horses are highly sensitive to our energy and presence, offering instant, honest feedback. By working with them, you’ll gain powerful insights into energetic communication, intention, and emotional intelligence. Their responses will guide you to greater self-awareness and a deeply intimate connection with the natural world.

Testimonials...

Working with Julie and her special herd has been transformative. It’s given me an amazing new perspective on my mind and body and helped me connect with myself in a positive way. Julie and the horses are so welcoming and accepting and provide a fresh viewpoint that I’ve never experienced before. Working with them somehow feels both spiritual and practical. I can now be alone with my thoughts for the first time in years, and situations and feelings that used to send me spiraling now feel manageable. It’s helped me feel comfortable in my own brain and body, which feels like a small miracle.​”

Testimonials...

“One of the most meaningful parts of my experience is the special bond I have with one of her horses. Her horse has taught me how to trust myself again. Julie was able to gently guide and foster the trust between us in such a thoughtful way, which led to breakthroughs that are reshaping my mind and my life. Julie creates an environment where the horses do the teaching and she doesn’t get in the way of what they have to share. Equine learning with Julie has truly changed the framework of my mind and the trajectory of my life. I began in a sad, anxious, and confused spot in life with a lot of unresolved trauma. Now I feel a deep sense of peace, calm, and certainty in my life, all thanks to Julie and her horses.”

– Fiona

Testimonials...

Julie creates a fun, safe environment at Meadow Brook Farm in her cool barn and arena.  She offers sound coaching guidance for you to be present with the horses and let the magic happen.  I was amazed at how the horses tuned in to my energy field and helped me discover what was really happening in my body. 

This is very grounding work which brings you into your heart and body and out of your mind. Horse gear is a ‘real gear’ if you are willing to embrace it and then continue to live in it.”

– Dorothy

About Julie...

Julie Ruddy, founder of CREATE COACH CONSULT, blends her lifelong love of horses with decades of leadership and mentoring experience.​

As a certified Life Coach, she sought deeper training in Equine-Facilitated Learning and Coaching. And she also became certified in Horse-Human Partnership, plus added Reiki Energy Practitioner to her diverse credentials. Julie offers experiences that are guided by the wisdom of horses. She shares her farm where horses and humans meet in a way that is profound, restorative, and utterly one of a kind. With her horses as partners, she’s created a unique offering—an experience that blends serenity, nature, and the deep wisdom of the herd.​

About the horses...

All of Julie’s horses have been rescued. They are living reminders that every soul deserves a second chance. She believes that horses and humans need a rescue sometimes—to be lifted, seen, heard, and given room to heal, grow, and find a new purpose. With that in her heart, she partners with two amazing non-profit organizations to share hope, healing, and second chances.

About the farm...

Meadow Brook Farm is a working horse farm with indoor and outdoor arenas, plus miles of winding trails. The agricultural fields are farmed in partnership with her longtime neighbors at Poplar Hill Dairy Goat Farm.

The barn, now over 50 years old, stands as a living tribute to Julie’s early years as a horse show competitor and to the many animals who’ve called it home.

This is the farm where Julie grew up and the place that holds her heart and her horses. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the magic that makes Meadow Brook Farm sacred.
