About Refresh at That’s The Dream
A Healing Way in a Healing Place
As a young nurse, Dawn realized that neurobiology would be the next big breakthrough in medical science. Now she is excited to be able to help others with the knowledge of some of those advances!
Combining a life long love of horses, her nursing background, life coaching certifications from John Maxwell Team and the American Association of Christian Counselors, and Natural Lifemanship, Dawn had a dream to build a place that would have a serene setting for people to learn, grow, and heal. As she told people of this dream, she would end with, “Well that’s the dream anyway!”
So Welcome to That’s The Dream farm! Dawn Robson is seeing her dream come true with the help of a team that is also excited to heal and serve. Whether you desire to come to That’s The Dream for coaching services, are desiring to increase your ability to connect to others and improve relationships, desire a private retreat to refresh, or have a group that needs to refresh and bond, we are here to serve you!
We have a special commitment to serve those who serve. We offer free services to service and nonprofit teams. Whether clients, teams, or team members we are here to support you!
The years have been stressful! We see you and appreciate your work to help others.
Come away for a time to relax and Refresh!
Our Dream Team
We just can’t help it: when the name of the farm is That’s the Dream, the team is known as The Dream Team. But truly, Dawn feels so blessed to work alongside this team in serving you that the name truly fits!
Christian Klonowski
Christian Klonowski is the Farm Manager at That’s the Dream. In addition to client education and support, he specializes in making sure the farm runs smoothly! He oversees care of the animals, the equipment and makes sure the grounds look refreshed so we can provide a relaxing environment for our guests. When Dawn thought we should have chickens, we learned that he loves chickens. He raises our spring baby chicks so we have chickens that love to interact with clients also! Coming to us with only a negative horse experience, he has taken his Natural Lifemanship training and truly tuned in to our animals and clients. His specialty areas of client interest are the New Life Center’s Genesis Recovery Program and Veterans’ support. He combines his personal history, Natural Lifemanship training, and connection to the animals to make a healing experience for others. In addition to Natural Lifemanship he is studying with the International Association of Trauma Recovery Coaching. Chris is involved in the world of cars in his fun time.
