I find and release blockages and trapped trauma in the body and aid it in letting go of the pain cau A bit about me:
I have spent my whole life around horses.
Absolute Truth Holistic Care is owned and operated by Lou Reid. Growing up in Gisborne and being born into two farming families. One from Te Karaka and the other from Rangitukia. I was lucky enough to be on a horse before I could walk and it was just a natural progression of my life to be around them. I rode horses on the family farm most of my life and when I was 10 years old my parents bought me
my own horse. I rode in local sports and ribbon days in Gisborne growing up and rode until I was 24 years old when I had my first child and put horse riding and being around horses second to raising my children. After raising children for 10 years I brought horses back into our lives and from that point I have endeavoured to make horses a very large part of my daily life. Over the past few years I have attended local ribbon days, inhand shows, labour days shows, endurance rides and Le Trec days and have acquired quite a wall of ribbons for my riding efforts. I have always had a natural healing ability with horses where I can feel their pain, where and the cause. After attending a foundation course for Flinchlock release therapy I allowed this spiritual side of me to heighten to a level that I have spent the past decade learning about myself and fine tuning my ability to heal horses, humans and other animals. I teach an afterschool and weekend horsemanship programme. I have also reached my 20 year vision and goal and now offer sessions for mental unwellness equine facilitated healing for both adults and children. I also provide one on one horsemanship and riding. I am currently studying to become a certified riding instructor. My Qualifications:

Often people have a misguided conception and understanding that the more happy, love and joy you have in your life the better life will be.
Well what if your nervous system kicks in every time you start reaching a level of happy, love or joy that you've experienced before in the past and were made to feel bad for feeling that good by someone else?
Our nervous system is responsible for incoming stimulus, emotions and thoughts but does not see them as negative or positive. The nervous system regulates, records and responds based on our experiences and thoughts. So every time you start experiencing any emotion that resulted in your nervous system kicking into a protective state either fight, flee or freeze this recycles and reignites every time you approach a feeling it had to respond to.
Your energetic system is the control system and your nervous system is the programming. So if you are injured, unwell, mental illness, spiritual confusion or blocked from life experience don't just think it's all the negative things that have caused a virus in the programming. If someone stomped on your joy as a child or as a friend or as a lover or as a parent or as a worker this also is recognised in your nervous system, creates a block and a kink in your energetic system that doesn't allow it to flow and you can't reach that level of joy again as the nervous system recognises that as a no go zone.
I love my guides, I love what they put in my "sight", I love how they are always educating me through putting me in the right places, the right times and the right people in front of me. And I love what I'm learning to understand in a more advanced way than I already do 🤯💥❤️

Your emotions are literally energy in motion that is shaped by your perspectives and concept of your SELF ❤️

What is meant for you will never pass you by. What is meant for you is always there. The universe always provides when you relax, trust and stop chasing after it 😊

Boundaries are great things to have. People only have a problem with your boundaries when they apply to them 🤨

Knowing who you are Vs believing who you are 🤨
Believing who you are means you don't know yourself fully yet...simple. Why? This still shows a gap of doubt, a lack of understanding all you are capable of.
Knowing who you are means you can competently express yourself confidently from a place of fully understanding everything about yourself...simple. Why? Here, there is no doubt about what you know about yourself.
This morning's Hui was very short, sweet and straight to the point ❤️
Are you in the "believing" or "knowing" who you are based on your understanding of everything you are and are capable of. And can express that competency from a place of confidence?
Have an amazing day 🌞 it's actually nice to see the sun is shining today 😊

A lot of my life and journey I shared on this page but there's also a lot I don't that is quite private. Simply because I've learnt that with some information about yourself it's best to keep private, as often it's not your enemies you have to be concerned about looking for ways to ruin your life or take what you have. It's more than likely to be people closer to you who have positioned themselves there to make their move.
I learnt that a long time ago about friends and family. So if you're feeling like some of the things going on in your life are happening due to those close to you not your enemies I suggest you trust that gut feeling and start pushing them a little further out to arms length for your own self protection and preservation. You can also clearly see their moves a lot better than when they're right up close in all your business. Your true enemies are not always those who are openly hating at you and to others. It's more often than not someone breaking bread with you at your own table 🤨

Another one of today's lessons 😊
Income...have we been wrong all along?
My whole life I've learned, as we all have, that "income" is what we go and earn in money to pay for life's bills and necessities, our wants and just because who doesn't want or need more money.
Um no apparently, and I totally understand and accept this philosophy in the knowing of it making sense.
The inside always comes first. Increasing your "income" is on the inside of you not outside of you. That is all "outcome". What is my income? It is my self-worth, my self-acceptance, my self-esteem, my self validation, my passionate self that produces my purpose. Everything that starts with SELF is your income. The money and everything else that comes is the outcome.
We're so busy trying to produce more outcome believing it was income, without increasing the true income which is internal, of all those SELF things. When you actually increase your "income" you'll realise you won't settle for less and you won't keep shifting boundaries for others that lower and affect your outcome by devaluing and lessening your income for them. The income isn't money, that's an outcome of all your internal increased self worth etc 🤨.
Stop screwing with your own income in this way because it's an old habit of Lulu, and stop focusing on increasing the outcome because you can't produce a higher outcome if the income doesn't match. It doesn't match when you're still shifting goal posts for people to feel better, validated and like your accessible within their value of you. If you value yourself more than another person then that's up to them to find another value match if it's less than you.
The income ain't about the money, that's just an outcome of all the other incoming SELF energies and frequency that you increase. You don't have to worry about the outside just what's on the inside, and then watch your outside become a direct reflection to your inside ❤️
A perspective I personally truly needed to hear. I absolutely love who I am, what I do, how I do for others and why I do what I do here in my little sanctuary. However, although I have a high self worth I'm always discounting it for people. I don't stay firm through either lowering money values for things I offer or increasing hours for things already paid and agreed on after the fact or lessening my confidence, my self esteem and even happiness when around others so they feel more equal in my presence.
I know I have to stop so in that knowing I agree with this new philosophy 🥰

Today's Hui lesson 🥰
In order for someone to ruin your reputation they have to lie.
In order for you to crumble their life you only have to tell the truth.
Sometimes your peace comes from not saying a word.
Sometimes it comes from speaking every word of the truth.
Knowing what to do and when to do it is the key here 🗝️

Horses don't "earn" their food, shelter, love and care through letting you ride them. For all they teach, give, share and show you unconditionally in their natural authentic spiritual being that helps us become not only a better person for them but a better person in general who is confident, courageous, grounded, thoughtful, responsible and accountable. A person who can genuinely care for another without expectation. A person who is self reflective when problem solving and not selfish. A person who is thoughtful and considerate. A person who understands that inner calm is best in fearful situations. A person who understands truly what it means and feels like to be connected within yourself and bond with another through your individual connectedness. A person who is sure of who they are. For all of that they deserve it all.
Being able to ride a horse is a gift to you from the horse. It's one of the first lessons I teach all the kids that have come through here. That you're not paying to just ride horses. Riding is something you earn from the horse through caring, gaining knowledge and applying your wisdom in your interactions. And that learning to understand them, connecting and bonding with them actually makes the riding better because you've given respect so it's reciprocated. And they're moulding you into the best version of you at the same time.
Horses know our true intentions before we even walk in the paddock. They see us standing at the fence and know straight away who we are today at that moment. We can't fake it, hide it, or give it to a horse either if it's got fear, anger or "what I want" attached to us. There's so much beauty and lessons in being checked like that every time you interact with horses.
There is something profoundly humbling about having your truth shown so confronting and raw back at you from another being simply because they possess the ability to receive truth every time from everyone who enters their space.
That's why I love being around them. When I want to know for sure if I'm at peace or just lying to myself all I need to do is go outside and be scanned by 13 spiritual experts. The beauty in that is if I am trying hard to push aside fears or anger or sadness about anything in my life or even just my day today they'll tell me and then help me process it right there and then.
There's also nothing in this world that compares to walking in the paddock full of love, peace and joy about life in this moment and the horses come running, calling, talking to you and each other in full excitement of your energy. They feed off your joy and neutralise everything else to create your internal calm as that is where they can better connect with us. They teach us connection and how not the other way around. We're not teaching them to be calm and in control of themselves, they're teaching us how to do that to ourselves because you can't connect with anyone if you're not calm and in control of yourself emotionally.
And for that alone they deserve respect and the best home you can give them. They don't "earn" anything. It's us who have plenty to learn from them.

The universe keeps sending me things referencing KEYS. Specifically the words "is the key here". It's happening in my readings, in things I see, I've found keys lately and lots of them, I'm dreaming keys, my exhusband lost his keys during his death accident that has been brought up again lately in conversation, and when I've spoken to people in their guidance sessions I'm finding I'm saying it more than usual, it's not a phrase I typically use. And I'm always checking for my keys and I don't even go anywhere often 🤔
Keys keys everywhere 🗝️
Now there is either crucial information I've just discovered or about to that is "key" in a personal situation going on in my little whanaus life right now. Or it's literal keys coming. Or a spiritual key to somewhere.
Whatever it is it is not far because my Soul is very restless about it because it hasn't come up in Hui which have been few and far between the last few weeks. And as I mentioned Hui right now my left ear started ringing and has now stopped. And I've got chills like I can't explain that I didn't before I started writing this post.
Spiritual growth is always happening, always intriguing me and obviously there's a lesson in here for me that will become another teaching tool of advice for when someone else needs it in the future ❤️🗝️
Sometimes you just have to talk it out of your body to find the answer because I think I just did. Thanks guys 🥰

When it comes to horsemanship and truly working holistically with horses, I'm extremely passionate. The knowledge I've gained from my parents, my grandparents through my cousins and their horsemanship, and everything I've gained throughout my lifetime in hands on experience, clinics, workshops and private lessons of my own and now as an owner of many beautiful special beings that are here as a result of my work with injuries, created behaviours and psychological challenges, is truly invaluable. Through courses and qualifications and swapping resources to just gain and grow knowledge and compact it all into easy to read, kid friendly topics based on facts.
I do this not only for kids I teach or will teach in the future but mostly for my own grandchildren and as resources for them to pass on to their children. There's over 80 topics related to horses and over 60 flashcards sets that I'm slowly working my way through making as you can see.
I've always loved to learn and now I love to share knowledge ❤️
And this is just the horsemanship area of my life 😂

A bit about me:
I have spent my whole life around horses. Growing up in Gisborne and being born into two farming families. One from Te Karaka and the other from Rangitukia. I was lucky enough to be on a horse before I could walk and it was just a natural progression of my life to be around them. I rode horses on the family farm most of my life and when I was 10 years old my parents bought me my own horse. I rode in local sports and ribbon days in Gisborne growing up and rode until I was 24 years old when I had my first child and put horse riding and being around horses second to raising my children. After raising children for 10 years I brought horses back into our lives and from that point I have endeavoured to make horses a very large part of my daily life. Over the past few years I have attended local ribbon days, inhand shows, labour days shows, endurance rides and Le Trec days and have acquired quite a wall of ribbons for my riding efforts.
I have always had a natural communication and healing ability with horses and after attending a foundation course for Flinchlock release therapy this spiritual side of me heightened to a level that I never expected. It was like a portal to the Universe opened and I had an inner power that was within me but not of me. I have spent a number of years now learning about myself and fine tuning my ability to heal horses, humans and other animals. Learning to understand this spirit to spirit communication I have that allows me to be a voice for the horse, humans and other animals souls and relay what is going on for them. During this spirit to spirit communication process I am able to find blockages in the body that prevent recovery and healing from physical, mental, emotional or spiritual injury and trauma. Once these blockages are gone the body can begin to do what it is meant to do, heal itself.
I have used this healing ability in many ways over the years with horses trying different things to see where it can be useful. I have discovered that it can be used in every aspect of horse work from a wild horse to horse breaking and starting, training float or truck loading, groundwork, ridden work, post traumatic recovery to wellbeing for both horse and owner, and the list keeps growing as I evolve and embrace this spirituality more and more.
I work with people in so many different ways now too. From hands on healing to readings, past life releases and working through traumatic experiences and being able to move on in life and discover their own spiritual SELF through spiritual guidance I give.
I am also a big advocate for Mental Health recovery and journey to wellbeing through the use of spirituality and horses, creating strategies and tools for helping children through their own trauma experiences and the list keeps growing in all of these aspects and many more also.
I embrace all of me, all the good and bad, happy and sad, hardships and successess...all of it. I believe in being Authentically yourself and growing from there, being truly yourself in the world expressing your inner power to endure the life you are given, the power to navigate your way through your life and the power to transform your life into anything you wan. Be all that you can be for yourself to be able to impact change on the world around you.
