Learn how to manage stress, anxiety and emotional heaviness through Equine Assisted Learning and Access Bars® Healing Sessions in Highfields & Toowoomba.

With Justine Bateman, Certified Licensed Facilitator for Horses Helping Humans & Access Bars® Practitioner

Meet Justine

Hi there. I’m Justine, founder of Justine's Healing Herd & Support.

I grew up on a farm and have had horses by my side for as long as I can remember. That natural connection, combined with 14 years working as an Enrolled Nurse and Support Worker, led me to where I am today — helping people heal, grow, and find more ease in their lives.

I'm a Certified Licensed Facilitator for the award-winning Horses Helping Humans Program (by Sue Spence), and I work with people of all ages across Highfields and the Toowoomba region. My Equine Assisted Learning sessions are held entirely on the ground — no riding required — in a safe, natural environment where you can truly relax and feel supported.

More recently, I discovered Access Bars® — and it genuinely changed me. After my very first session I experienced a massive emotional shift that I wasn't expecting. It was so profound that I trained as a certified Access Bars® Facilitator so I could offer that same experience to others.

I'm deeply passionate about what I do, and I believe that healing can look different for everyone. Whether you're drawn to the quiet wisdom of the herd, the deep release of an Access Bars® session, or both — I'm here to walk that path with you.

Compassionate. Patient. In your corner.

How I Help People

I help people achieve their goals of reducing and managing stress, anxiety and emotional heaviness and create a life of joy and happiness through: 

1 - Equine Assisted Learning, which involves connecting with horses and doing groundwork to help manage stress, anxiety, emotional heaviness, emotional regulation and other emotional and mental health challenges. 

2 - Access Bars® where you get to sit back and relax while I gently touch the access points on your head to release negative thoughts, ideas, beliefs, emotions, and considerations that stop you from creating your ideal life.

1. Equine Assisted Learning

What is Equine Assisted Learning?

Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) uses the natural wisdom of horses as teachers. There’s no riding required — sessions are held on the ground, in relationship with the herd.

Horses are highly attuned to human emotion and body language. They respond authentically in the moment, creating a mirror that’s hard to ignore — and impossible to argue with.

What Does An Equine Assisted Learning Session Feel Like?

Sessions are held at Justine’s property in Highfields, in a safe, private, and peaceful setting. Each session is individual and tailored to where you are right now. You don’t need any horse experience.  My clients have told me that during a session they feel a profound sense of joy, connection and being grounded in the present moment. They come away from each session feeling peaceful and relaxed.

Who Equine Assisted Learning Is Ideal For:

Adults and young people navigating:

Stress, anxiety or overwhelm

Confidence and self-worth challenges

Grief, trauma or life transitions

Disconnection from self or others

Personal growth and self-awareness

Anger and aggression

Lack of motivation

Plus much more

2. Access Bars

What are Access Bars® sessions?

Access Bars® is a gentle, hands-on energy technique that involves light touch on 32 specific points on the head. Each point corresponds to areas of life where we tend to hold locked-in thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.

A session typically lasts 60–120 minutes. You simply lie down, fully clothed, while Justine gently touches each point in sequence. Most people describe it as deeply relaxing — many fall asleep. Many report feeling lighter and clearer afterwards 

Access Bars® has assisted thousands of people to change many aspects of their lives. People report better health, ease of sleep, weight loss, better sex and relationships, relief from anxiety, less stress and so much more!

What To Expect From An Access Bars® Session?

During an Access Bars® session, a trained practitioner lightly touches 32 points on your head which dissipates the electromagnetic charge that gets locked in our brains by the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that we have stored over lifetimes. 

Imagine if someone could press a button and mute that voice in your head that tells you that you’re not good enough or that you can’t accomplish what you dream about. That “voice” comes from those electromagnetic charges that keep us from believing we can have the life we’ve always known is possible. 

At The End of Your Session

You’ll come away feeling a deep sense of relaxation and calmness. Your brain will continue working its magic without you having to do anything further after the session.

3. Combination of Both: Horses + Access Bars®

Two Pathways. One Direction.

Using both techniques combines the powerful bond between humans and horses to facilitate transformative mindfulness experiences for women, teens, children, families.

The Horses and the Bars work beautifully together. Both invite you to slow down, get out of your head, and come home to yourself.

Many clients choose to experience both — and find they amplify each other in unexpected ways.
