Reiki Energy Connection (5-10 minutes):

We begin by establishing a calm and connected energy with your horse through gentle Reiki hand placements, creating a supportive foundation for the session, in line with our focus on emotional well-being.
 

Integrated Bodywork (30-40 minutes):

​Working systematically along your horse's body, we'll utilize a blend of techniques as needed, based on what your horse is showing us, drawing on our understanding of equine psychology:

​

• Massage: To ease muscle tension and improve circulation.

• Masterson Method® Concepts: Utilizing light touch to encourage the release of deep-seated tension.

• Therapeutic Stretching: Gentle movements to enhance flexibility and range of motion.

• Releases: Applying sustained pressure or positional adjustments to alleviate restrictions.

• Trigger Point Therapy: Addressing specific points of pain and tension.

• Gentle Joint Mobilization/Manipulation: To help restore optimal joint movement.​​

​

Post-Session Hand Walking (5-10 minutes):

​We'll encourage a short period of gentle hand walking or turnout to help your horse integrate the bodywork and feel the benefits of the releases.

​

Integration and Feedback (5 minutes):

​Allowing your horse a moment to absorb the session, followed by a discussion with you about our findings and any recommendations for ongoing care, reinforcing our commitment to your partnership.
