Equine Performance Therapeutics

Facilitating personal wellness through energy work with horses, on the ground and in the saddle. 

Equine Performance Therapeutics was born from a desire to share the profound, transformative impact humans experience simply by spending time with horses. I experienced these dramatic positive effects personally during my equine bodywork training, my equine yoga training and through becoming a Reiki master. This is not about traditional riding, training, or competing but tapping into something far greater, the human/equine energetic connection. Where one being’s essence is reflected back to them by another. I use all the elements of my training to create a safe space for you to explore the power of your personal energy and it’s impact on those around you. I invite you to step onto the ranch, quiet your mind, strip away expectations of performance, and create a sacred, non-verbal space where both human and horse can bond and heal together.

Sessions include meditation, equine ground bodywork, mounted flowing poses, trail rides and reiki modalities.

NOTE: Bodywork is an interactive nervous system based equine massage using light touch tension release that reflects the core science of staying under the horse’s bracing response. By staying completely under the horse's natural bracing reflex, I help them unlock restriction in major key joints.

REIKI WITH HORSES

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese healing system that works on physical, mental, and emotional levels—generally translated as “universal life force energy”. Reiki is an effective tool to awaken and facilitate our natural healing ability.

How does Reiki Work?

Reiki is an intelligent energy. It flows where needed and self-calibrates to the amount needed to bring balance. Healing is balance.

What are the Reiki Benefits?

Reiki is scientifically shown to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, which supports self-healing.

Reiki in the Presence of Horses

The presence of horses during mindfulness practices has a therapeutic effect on people. Their sensitivity to human emotion means they offer comfort and a sense of companionship, which is very healing for people with trauma, stress, or anxiety.
