Have you ever wondered…
what it would be like to stand in a pen, and look eye-to-eye with a 1200 pound horse? Would you feel safe? Could you trust? Could you settle enough to experience the powerful depth of connection, curiosity, freedom, and love that you have been longing for?
We use horses as way to access transformational experiences that open us to all that life has to offer.

What’s on Offer
Horses offer us a direct experience with the present moment. They help us access curiosity, connection, love and understanding, which is actually our true nature. When we tap into this, we discover more clarity, compassion, and an infinite potential for possibilities.
We love watching clients drop into their hearts and let go of their stories that no longer serve them. At Oak Lea Ranch, we create a safe place where people can allow their armor to fall away as they begin to understand that vulnerability is a strength and not a weakness. We enjoy helping folks see there is a part of them that is whole, perfect, and meant to thrive.
Oak Lea Ranch is a community sanctuary. People come to engage in the work, whether its a retreat, working on the ranch with us, or enjoying the animals and gardens. People want to visit because of the beauty of the oaks and the land, the experience of just being here.
We often include horses in our coaching at Oak Lea Ranch to help guide clients to new possibilities. We offer one-on-one coaching; private multi-day intensives, small group retreats, and customized programs for your team.
ABOUT US
Julie & Brad
In our very first conversation we were immediately intrigued that despite how different our lives actually were, we shared surprising parallels in our coaching and education. We both felt a spark for the potential of what we could do together, what we could create, and how we could contribute to the world together. It was so much bigger than the two of us.
Brad served 21 years in the military, in 2 different branches: 4 years as an enlisted Marine, and 17 years as an Officer in the Air Force. When Brad first experienced the equine work, it changed everything in his life. He started to heal his own wounds from military service. And through his own journey he discovered his gift for helping others.
Before Julie became a coach, she spent 15 years as a bodyworker. People used to say that they went to see her for massage, and left with more clarity and courage. The common thread in all of Julie’s experience and work, whether it be as a Leadership Embodiment facilitator, Integral or Transformative Coach, or bodyworker is really that she helps people access their authentic leadership presence bringing together mind, body, heart, and wisdom.
We are well qualified to guide you. Between the two of us we have 6 coaching certifications, 40+ years combined experience in facilitating small to large groups in everything from Grief and Loss, Leadership, Men’s and Women’s issues, and Nonverbal Communication. We both have backgrounds in meditation & mindfulness, and now spend as much time as we can in nature and with animals.
Having each other in our lives has changed both of us in ways that we could never have imagined, or thought was possible. We have both taken huge risks in life when we know what is true for us – it is what brought us together.
We hope that through our own journeys, we create a warm and inviting center for anyone to come.
