Dear Owners and Staff of Majestic Ranch,
    I have just completed FOCUS in NJ and my life is forever changed because of it.
    In April, I handed over my most prized possession, my son Neal. I placed in your hands my baby, and drove away knowing he would be safe with you.
    I feel afraid about a lot of things. One thing I am no longer afraid for is Neal. I know he is safe with you and that every day, in every way, you strive to move him toward greatness.
    Your efforts, along with those of Premier Education are not only instrumental in saving my son, but also us, his family.
    I tell everyone who will listen about your program, for everyone knows someone who is losing their child.
    Thank you for your efforts. We are grateful that our child is safe in your care.

Shawn and Gregg Elliott

Dear Majestic Ranch,
    We would like to take this moment to thank you for being a beacon of light when we were in our darkest moment in our family life. We appreciate your service to the younger kids who need help in their life where we couldn't get it done. If you weren't there, I'm not sure where we would be today as a family.
    We want to thank all the workers for their dedication to change lives and the hard work and patience that takes.
    We want to especially thank Tori for the weekly phone calls and the fact that she always tries to find a positive to report on even when it seems like there is nothing positive our daughter is doing. She continually provides us hope and keeps us going from week to week.

Sarah Bergstrom

Dear Staff of Majestic Ranch,
I am the sister of Kevin Saunders. I am 21 years older than Kevin and I know what a challenge that he can be. I commend you for working with him daily. I pray that he learns from you in the same way that I have been learning from the Discovery and Focus Seminars. I so hope that Kevin will get his butt in gear and work his program. I will never give up on him. I know he can do this. Thank you for being there for Kevin and doing your job the best! If you could please tell Kevin that his sister Sarah loves him and wants him home. Please give him a big hug from me. Thank you again for your service.

The Staff of Majestic Ranch:
I can't express enough as a father of a 12 year old who felt lost and confused when my child went out of control. How much this means to me--your efforts, your system that you have in place, the staff in giving 100% are truly amazing. I want to thank the two family reps that Vincent has had to date. Your feedback and understanding of the situation has made us comfortable in the decision we made of sending Vincent to Majestic Ranch.
Warm Regards,

Troy and Michelle Pocock

After finding this program, I believe my life can now be completed more easily. I am very thankful for every single one of you. Without your guidance, I’m not sure what I would have done with myself in the future. But now my direction seems much clearer to me. I also believe my wife has found herself and for that I am grateful. I can only pray that my son will open his eyes, put down his walls, and look at what he is being told. Again thank you for being there for my family and myself because without you, I had a lot of chaos to look forward to and now it will be a lot smoother sailing for myself and everyone around me. Thank you.

Dear Staff,
    I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for all that you do for my son and my family. In the entire time he has been there, he has never said a negative thing regarding any of you. What that expresses to me is during the most difficult time in his entire life, you are all a positive force in his eyes.
    My wife and I are deeply committed to the program and also committed to making sure that your efforts will not be wasted.
    Thank you for everything.

Dear Majestic Ranch:
I knew as soon as we arrived that my son, Clayton, was in the right place. Our life at home was not working and we didn’t know what to do. We were so afraid that Clay would be lost to us. We needed someone to show us the way back to being a loving and caring and functioning family. You were there, opening up your arms to us and we trusted that you would provide a safe environment for our son.
Over the past 3½ months we attended Discovery and Focus and we are looking forward to experiencing keys. I can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate the opportunity to experience these seminars. They’ve taught us so much about ourselves and about how we can truly become a loving and caring family. Thank you for showing us how to find a working way.
Sincerely,
Peggy Robinson

Peter and Patricia Rosada

To: Ms. Tory Jones and All Training Staff at the Majestic Ranch

We the parents of Krystal Rosado would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one for all the help and support you are giving our daughter during this hard journey. At the very beginning, almost three months ago, we really didn’t have an idea of how hard it is to deal with so many issues. We have attended both the Discovery and Focus Seminar and are proud to say that we graduated from both with Great Honor and are happy to say that we learned a lot from the seminars. Needless to say, the knowledge we gain will help us in dealing with the problems our child has. It is really hard work but is worth the pain. Our attitude towards each other has changed. The knowledge we received will stay with us forever.

Once again we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Sincerely,

Peter and Patricia Rosado

Debi Russo

Dear Majestic Ranch (Staff, office people, cleaners, kitchen help, maintenance, family rep., teachers, owners)

Your purpose is to help my child and other children who need extra special help because they cannot cope with life. Thank you for your kindness, knowledge, patience, understanding, and tolerance. All of you at Majestic Ranch are needed and wanted because you see, we, the parents, cannot raise our children by ourselves—we need help. We are getting help through Premier education with its awesome program, feedback, and follow thru. Do not stop! Keep up what you do, change with the times, adjust accordingly, and remain the devoted, focused facility that you are.

Thank you for taking care of my son, Vincent.

Sincerely,

Debi and Joe Russo

Laura Driscoll

Dear Majestic Ranch Staff,

I want to thank you for everything you do for our family. You are helping my daughter, Jessica, to become a whole and healthy young woman. It is because of the giving of yourselves that she has learned so very much about the beautiful person she is within. She is learning, with your support and encouragement, how to become a responsible person and to be accountable for her choices. Thank you again. There really is a light at the end of the tunnel because of your help and the commitment you have made to my family.

Sincerely,

Laura Driscoll

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I appreciate all of your hard work and dedication that you have put into my daughter’s care. You are making a truly majestic difference in my entire family. Thank you for getting us back to where we belong. I am looking forward to graduation so that my family can continue the journey that was meant to be. Our lives will never be the same again. The entire staff is a blessing that I will always be thankful for. May God bless each and every one of you for being so great.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Barbara Melnik

Dear Majestic Ranch Staff,

I would like to thank you all for the immense efforts and time you put in taking care of my son Ryan. I realize that there are many people there working toward the same goal, especially many “unseen” staff such as the house leaders with the long hours and unenviable hours, and the cook, who let Ryan go into the kitchen and designate two plates for himself so that he could follow dietary laws of our religion. Thank you to the teacher who has taught Ryan that he can write straight on the lines and legibly (not teeny-weeny like he did previously) and can write pages and pages to one letter. This includes the Ranch staff, teaching Ryan, undoubtedly, many farm chores and animal husbandry, all the while teaching him about life and what it takes to maintain and sustain life and giving to others without the expectation of receiving anything in return. Each has his or her own part in assembling this puzzle and when it will be completed due to the dedication and determination you are showing.

Sincerely,

Barbara Melnik

Mike Melnik

Dear Sir or Madam

My son Ryan Melnik has been at your facility 2½ months. I must commend you on the good job you are making to change my son’s life.

We know the difficulty that you encounter because we had one Ryan and you have 50 like him at your facility.

I am surprised at the change in his attitude—something we tried to do for a long time with no results.

However, since the process is going on, I wait to see the finished results. I know they will be good—I just want to know how good.

You efforts are appreciated by all of Ryan’s family.

Jan Dahle

Dear Majestic Ranch Staff,

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for you taking care of Chase. You are doing an excellent job at something that I was unable to do on my own. Since Chase has been there, his writing skills have improved, his schoolwork, and most importantly how he feels about himself. I am truly grateful to you for helping me make Chase into a person that he can be proud of. Thank you for all you do!

Sincerely,

Jan Dahle (Chase’s Mom)

Robyn Hogue and Alan Howlett

Dear Staff at Majestic Ranch,

I just attended my focus seminar. I really received a lot of eye-opening experiences. Over these past few days, I lived partially like my son does at your school. I would like to commend you on all the hard work, patience, and strength it takes to do your job. I have a lot of respect for all of you. I am very fortunate to have found this school and its program. I believe that it has saved my son’s life and in turn mine. New doors are opening for me as a result of my experiences. Keep up the great job! Thank you from my heart!

Sincerely,

Robyn Hogue

To the Staff of Majestic Ranch!

I have the greatest joy and hope with Larry Hogue being in your capable hands. While we learn our life changing lessons in Discovery and Focus, you are teaching our children to live these values via immersion in the principles of accountability, responsibility, integrity, respect for self, and questioning non-working choices and self-limiting beliefs. We are fortunate to have found you and consider you as lifesavers for Larry. And by integrating Discovery and Focus for Parents and S.O.s, you are giving us the tools to deal with our own lives and get them on track as well. THANK YOU!

Alan Howlett

To the Staff at Majestic Ranch, Randolph , Utah

We would like to go on record by stating how greatly we appreciate Majestic Ranch and all of the staff that chooses to work with these challenging, very young kids.

Our daughter Mirinda, has been at Majestic Ranch for seven months. She initially arrived at the ranch when she was 12 years old. She recently turned 13 and continues to have her challenges. It is our hope that with structure provided by the ranch, and therapy that is available nearby, she will eventually work the program and emerge as the great kid she really is.

We know that Mirinda is in skillful, knowledgeable, and loving hands. Thanks to all of you for being with our daughter. Without all of you, she would not have made it at all. Now she has a good change for a new life.

Best Wishes

Bill and Kay Kirby

Dear Majestic Ranch Family,

When I chose to bring my daughter, Angie, to you, I had no doubt in my mind. I knew absolutely [it was] the right thing.

Knowing, feeling, and trusting my heart [was] a whole different thing. I had no idea when I did bring her to you, that one of the best parts of our lives [was] to come through this.

Through Discovery and Focus, I have found truths about me that have set me free.

I am so thankful that I met some of you and I am grateful that you are all holding her accountable for all she will become when she comes home.

I miss her so much and I know that on the other side, we will fly together as a whole and strong family.

Love,

Natalie Smith

Dear Staff at Majestic Ranch

We want to thank you for helping us save our son’s life. It just was not working. We needed help! Your being there in our time of tremendous crisis gives us a beacon of hope that shines brightly in our lives. We were lost, confused, and terrified about where our son was headed, and then to find your facility. Talk about angels among us!!

When our son left, we were sad because we would miss him. However, there was a deep joy, peace, and hope that maybe we found something that could save this precious, magical child. His letters home continue our hope and serve as an affirmation that we made the right choice.

So today, you have our heartfelt thanks, praise, and commitment. We will stand committed to participate in the process of becoming a better family and better individuals!

Sincerely,

Deb Lanham

To: Majestic Ranch

I would love to take the opportunity to thank you so very much. It was not easy to leave my daughter at Majestic Ranch because all of you were total strangers to me. The tour was great. Tammy, the director, made us feel quite at ease. I am grateful to have been received so openly and compassionately. It made the transition a little bit easier. As time has gone by, Tori, our representative, has continued to ease our feelings. I feel that my daughter is in very safe, capable, caring hands. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of the staff for all of their help in assisting our daughter at Majestic Ranch.

Sincerely yours,

Sharon Rawson

To: Majestic Ranch Staff:

I greatly appreciate your assistance with my daughter Nicole. You are all being a great help to our family by your effort there. There is a large burden on our family at this time, and you are enabling us to get the help we need. By working with Nicole, in showing her that she is loved by us, keeping her safe, and training her in the ways of self-awareness, you allow us a chance to learn about how we can help ourselves understand what we need to change in our lives. These changes will help us in creating a better life for Nicole when she chooses to return home.

I thank you very much.

Dear Majestic Ranch Academy ,

I’d like to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all you’ve done so far for my son Evan and my entire family.

Not only do I see amazing progress and growth in my son Evan, who has been at your school approximately ten weeks, [but] I have also experienced incredible healing, awareness, and a rebirth in my family!!!

The entire process, which includes family members attending seminars, is so powerful and insightful that this has truly changed my life and that of my entire family.

Thanks Majestic Ranch Academy for being there for me and my family. You are a true blessing and I thank God for you all every day.

Dear Majestic Ranch Miracle Workers, Guardians, Guide, and Plain out Saints:

This is a letter of gratitude to you, for having the heart, the courage, the passion and commitment to become part of the ever-growing “village” it takes to care for our child. You are much more than just an experience for our family. You are saving the life of our child, and changing all our lives. With you and through [you], our child sees others being salvaged and saved. He will learn that life is precious, and adults don’t have to be family to care. He will also see some children who appear not to want to make it, and the lessons they create, the walls they put [up] that make it hard, and he will see the strength and compassion in all your eyes as you work to save hearts and lives. Through all this, he will also see joy because you cannot be in the powerful, life-changing positions you have chosen, without the joy that comes to us when change is accomplished, and another child is saved.

I may not know you personally, but I know you through the “eyes” and “heart” of the seminars, and the facilitators, and I am grateful you have chosen to be who you really are, and take on our children. You must have incredible strength.

With deepest gratitude,

Terri Snow

To all Staff in Majestic Ranch:

Nothing in language can mean enough for what all of you done for my son. God bless all of you for everything you work on those children who has not know[n] which road in life to take. Your patient, your hard working, your firm…to guide them. We so lucky to know your school exist. Honestly, I don’t know what to do when my son turn to be what he is—worry, afraid, fear…to see my son have no future. I knew you [were] with me all the way to help me help my son become better. What I do without you…not just helping my son, you help me too to see, to open, to look at myself what I did to turn my son this way. Really appreciated all staff. Thanks God for knowing school.

Dear Staff of Majestic Ranch,

I believe I get to tell my family rep, Tori Jones, how much I appreciate her being involved with our family in helping Evan our son. But I’ve never expressed to the kitchen staff how much Evan likes the food there. He has talked about different meals at least five times in his letters.

I have never expressed my appreciation to the man that took Evan outside one evening to hear the coyotes howl. Or the people that took Evan to herd sheep and allowed him to ride on a horse. I have never thanked the staff that took care of Evan when he was sick and had to miss Discovery. I have never thanked the administrative staff when I have called twice for being so kind to me and following up by calling me back to let me know they didn’t have an answer to my question yet but they were working on it.

I have never thanked Wayne or Joyce for firmly and lovingly taking my son away from his father while he was raging and putting him in a safe place for the night.

Thank you all for caring enough to be a part of my son’s healing and care.

Warmest Regards,

Nancy Ekholm
