My Method

I strive to meet each horse as a unique being, with its mind-body constitution, spirit & personality. Any background information from the owner/rider is also helpful to determine course of action.

I'm learning to listen and respond to horse's guidance. I will begin by observing the horse, noticing any obvious disturbances in energy flow.

To soften the horse and areas initially tender to touch I use elements of Masterson method and energy work. Sometimes I lay hands for direct pranic healing, sometime I use the power of sound.

I use equine shiatsu - a Japanese system of working with energy points - meridians (major energy channels), interspersed with sports massage moves in muscular areas. I may apply marma therapy and/or Abhyanga moves working deeper on specific points or areas where/ if needed. We may conclude with stretching & realignment.

In some cases it may be beneficial to use herbal wraps, oiling or other specific healing treatments: this may be only upon discussion and agreement.

Ultimately, the horse will guide & teach me how to work with them.
