Equine Bodywork

I use acupressure along the meridian lines that have been used in Japanese and Chinese medicine for more than 5,000 years. The majority of these meridians are associated with organs such as the heart, liver, stomach, large intestine, and the bladder to name a few. When energy is blocked due to muscle tension, strain, or emotional distress it becomes stagnant and in turn affects these major organs, leading to unforeseen health issues.
The Shiatsu techniques I use are Percussion (to relax the muscles), Rotation and Sedation (to eliminate muscle problems with direct pressure), Kneading (to oxygenate blood and remove metabolic waste), Cross Fibre (loosen and lengthen the muscles), and Running Energy (a light touch to aid in the energetic flow). A stripping technique is used on the legs to release tension and increase circulation throughout the body.

What to expect during a session

After a discussion about your horse’s history and health, I begin each session spending time connecting with your horse. Setting my intention and energy that communicates permission to help heal and relieve their tension.

Horses are flight creatures, and like any relationship, trust and safety should be established before doing deep work such as acupressure and massage, especially if they are holding onto a history of tension or emotional trauma.

When a horse feels relaxed and safe, the parasympathetic nervous system slows down breathing and heart rate while increasing blood flow to the intestines, liver and the rest of the digestive tract. Horses in a PNS state look relaxed and at ease. Normal breathing, yawning and gut sounds will be visible. This is our goal.
