Monday's Beast

Monday's Beast was my art blog. It's where I posted essays and paintings about animals. Please feel free to still browse it. There have not been any new posts in quite a few years but the old ones are fun to read through.

About Me

My name is Julia Carpenter. Welcome to Considering Animals where I muse and share my thoughts, writing, and art about animals. My life is all about connection with animals.
I am also the founder and sole practitioner of The Two Step Technique, a focused two step method of being and seeing when working with equines to promote connection, trust and health. My work with horses is based in polyvagal theory and coregulation, using concepts from these to reset the nervous system of traumatized, shutdown, dysregulated, and anxious horses who have developed unwanted copping behaviors.
