The first session tends to be the longest it involves getting a detailed history of the horse/dog including medical, training/exercise regimen, showing schedule. I then watch the horse/dog move, a physical exam including palpation, checking energy centres and a discussion of my findings. then I begin working with the animal.

Horses with these issues cope well and usually enjoy the work. I begin with craniosacral therapy. This quiet but profound work begins to release holding patterns in their bodies in gentle ways without overwhelming their nervous system. It builds their trust and induces relaxation.

My equine clients range from upper level dressage, hunters and jumpers and event horses, roping, reining to trail and companion as well as therapy horses. In other words any horse!! My retired old guy benefits from regular sessions which are tailored to help his arthritis and old age digestive system, aches and pains.

My canine clients range from dogs involved in athletic competition, hunting dogs, dogs with hipdysplasia, spinal problems, pre and post surgery, behavioral issues and arthritis.

Yes. My work is not a substitute for regular veterinary care, I do not diagnose. I maintain a good working relationship and believe that the horse is better served by a team approach.

The therapies used in these sessions are Craniosacral, HTA and Reiki. I follow up with an e-mail or phone call to discuss my findings.
