Embrace the Year of the Horse — A Time to Reset, Reconnect, and Thrive
Step into the powerful energy of the Year of the Horse with clarity, calm, and confidence—alongside the incredible Kellie Shields at Sugar Beach Ranch.
​
In many traditions, the Year of the Horse represents momentum, courage, freedom, and forward movement.
It invites us to release what holds us back and step into a more energised, purposeful version of ourselves.
There is no better moment to pause, recalibrate, and invest in your own wellbeing—or gift this experience to a woman you love.
A Day of Calm, Clarity and Emotional Reset
Kellie Shields, certified EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner and founder of Tap and Thrive, brings warmth, wisdom, and practical guidance to every session.
Through gentle, guided tapping techniques, Kellie helps you release stress, shift emotional blocks, and reconnect to your inner resilience.
These sessions are not only restorative—they equip you with simple tools you can use in everyday life to stay grounded, focused, and emotionally balanced.
During the day you will also spend time with the ranch horses, whose calm presence naturally supports nervous-system regulation and emotional clarity, creating a deeply grounding and memorable experience.

Thank you so much for a wonderful workshop.
It was so good to learn about EFT and in such a beautiful location. You made us feel very welcome and I love your down-to-earthiness and authenticity.
I found you so inspiring Kellie, and felt very pampered.
The day was a wonderful balance of learning EFT and doing exercises, plus connecting with a beautiful group of women. Stevey and Kellie we definitely felt the love.
I'm now putting into practise the tools I learned that day and to help my teenager with his school work when he feels overwhelmed.
Thank you!
