About this episode

In this episode, Natalie works through visualization exercises with one of her clients, who is worried about what the future holds and just wants to enjoy every day with her horse. They discuss the misunderstandings that were established after her beloved pony was suddenly taken away when she was fifteen and how she worries that the same thing will happen with her current horse. Natalie guides her through an exercise to help her heal from the experience she had when she was younger and learn to appreciate the present moment without worry. Sign up for Natalie's workshop here
