Conditions
Most horses could benefit from craniosacral work to maintain their health
and balance. Horses  today
are subjected to stress from a variety of sources including training,
dental work and improperly fitted equipment. This work is effective
in treating both acute injuries and chronic conditions. Craniosacral
work can be beneficial in treating head injuries and traumas, head shaking,
TMJD (Temporal Mandibular Joint Dysfunction) cribbing, lameness, DDSP
(dorsal displacement of the soft palate,) colic, stall walking, tying
up, emotional and behavioral problems, tinnitus (ringing in the ears,)
facial nerve paralysis, sinus problems, blocked tear ducts, birth traumas,
castration and sacroiliac problems.
Private Consultataions:
Each session combines the methods I use customized to fit the needs
of the horse. Sessions last approximately 60-90 minutes. Treatments
need to be performed 2 days prior to a competition or race to allow
the horse optimal processing time. Sessions can be done immediately
following a performance. The number of sessions needed to treat conditions
will vary from horse to horse depending on the seriousness of the condition.

Methods
What
is The Tellington Method?
The Tellington Method is also called TTEAM, the Tellington TTouch Equine
Awareness Method. It combines bodywork and ground exercises, to resolve
a variety of health issues and behavioral issues. The TTouches give
the animal a new body experience on a cellular level, releasing old
pains and unproductive habitual patterns. The ground exercises build
confidence, enhance coordination and increase the ability to learn.
This allows the animals to learn without provoking typical fear responses.
The animal can move beyond instinct, to act rather than react, to learn
new and more appropriate behaviors. Animals learn to listen by developing
self-control rather than out of fear. By using the TTouch Method, you
help enhance the animal’s self-confidence, which will lessen the
need for aggressive or fearful behavior, release tension and increase
body awareness and balance. The ground exercises are on a Confidence
Course, comprised of obstacles including labyrinths, platforms, poles
and much more. It addresses health issues by stimulating the immune
system and helps alleviate pain. All animals can benefit from TTouch.
The technique was first developed for horses and has since been proven
effective for numerous species of animals, including zoo and marine
animals.
TTouch
was developed over 30 years ago by internationally recognized animal
expert, Linda Tellington-Jones. Recognized world-wide this systematic
method is easy to learn and brings quick and lasting results. It is
used by animals owners, breeders, trainers, veterinarians, zookeepers,
Olympic teams and universities in over 30 countries. The University
of Minnesota is conducting a new research program dedicated to the study
of the Tellington Method.
TTouch
has been effective in providing solutions for…wood chewing, fear,
shyness, aging, arthritis, pain management, navicular issues, recovery
from injury, trauma and surgery, aggressive behavior, nervousness, tension,
stress, balance and focus in training & competition, and more.
What
is Craniosacral work?
Craniosacral work is a gentle, sensitive hands-on bodywork which has
roots in osteopathy. Studies of the cranium, led to the discovery that
the skull bones are jointed, and not truly fused, so they permit slight
motion independent of breathing and heart rate. This motion is present
in all tissues of the body. When body tissues are subjected to stress
or trauma physical or emotional, this motion can be disrupted resulting
in imbalance or disease. Many authorities note that the rhythm moves
between 8 - 14 cycles per minute. The measurable amplitude of the cranial
wave or rhythm is between 40 microns to 1.5mm in movement, which is
less than half the thickness of dental paper. It cannot be seen but
it can be palpated in a meditative state. To palpate this discreet rhythm,
practitioners combine light finger pressure with use of the inner eye
and inner ear. The work draws from three disciplines; osteopathy, energy
work and Taoism. Once they have determined where the restrictions are
located, the Craniosacral practitioner palpates the tide-like motions
to assist the animal's body in releasing the stored injury or trauma.
This will help restore the vital motion and balance of the rhythm. The
body has an amazing capacity to heal itself. When an animal is in balance
emotionally and physically, they are healthy.
What
is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word representing Universal
life energy, the energy which is all around us. It’s derived from
rei, meaning “free passage” or “transcendental spirit”
and ki, meaning “vital life force energy” or universal life
energy. Reiki involves the transfer of energy from practitioner to patient
to enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself through the
balancing of energy. Reiki utilizes specific techniques for restoring
and balancing the natural life force energy within the body. It’s
a holistic, natural hands-on energy healing system that touches on al
levels: body, mind and spirit. Reiki energy has many effects: it brings
about deep relaxation, destroys energy blockages, detoxifies the system,
provides new vitality in the form of healing universal life energy,
relieves stress and pain, release muscle spasms, stimulates the immune
system, is effective on chronic and acute illness or injury, is completely
safe and benign and increases the vibrational frequency of the body.
Reiki is a key that opens the door to your heart and helps you heal
your life. It is a journey to the heart and beyond, a gateway to the
healing of suffering and pain, a path of deep joy and inner peace.
