What makes us different is we offer you the freedom to have your own healing experience rather than something prescribed. We are not going to tell you where you are at or assume we can tell you where you want to go. All we can do is GIVE YOU OPTIONS & take the journey with yoU
What We Do: At the Fitzgerald Freedom Ranch we help veterans and their families understand the challenges veterans face in civilian life and offer a new approach for meeting the needs of the military civilian. This is accomplished through a combination of access to the Fitzgerald Freedom Ranch, the community at the Ranch, and the availability of trauma releasing sessions with the option for recalibration of the military identity as discussed in the Fitzgerald Theory.
The whole idea is to help veterans be able to relax, heal, and play; then give them a place where they actually have the opportunity to do all of these things.
Who We Help: We invest in those who have served and who want help being able to live their best life. Whether out of the service for decades or days, all are welcome to come and be met where they are at in their journey.
How We do it: Through the use of a 114-acre ranch and an innovative therapeutic methodology, our goal is to assist as many veterans as possible to experience joy and be able to live a fulfilled life while helping their loved ones understand the journey they are walking through in the process.
Why We Do it: We know and understand from firsthand experience the difficulties families face when a service member comes home and veterans embark on life in a civilian culture with a military identity. We have found a solution that has helped many and we want to share it so no one has to suffer through the journey alone.
Through the tragic loss of Marty's daughter Megan, we have the opportunity to share this land and this theory. Megan wanted to help veterans through her ambition to be a Prosthetist. We want to honor her legacy by helping as many people as we can because her heart was never given the opportunity.
