It's just as important that we look after our own bodies.
Today I had a cupping session.

What is cupping?
Cupping is an ancient alternative therapy that uses suction cups on the skin to increase local blood flow, ease muscle tension, and promote healing. It is commonly used by athletes and physical therapists to treat pain, inflammation, and deep tissue knots.

I am trained in and offer this service which takes 10 to 15 minutes. If you would like a treatment please feel free to message 🙏

Rongoā Rākau: The use of native plant-based remedies, such as brewing leaves or bark from trees like Kawakawa, Mānuka, and Kānuka
Today we went foraging for plants in the paddocks and made a wonderful tasting tonic.
Feeling grateful for the abundance of plants on our doorstep 🙏

Massage and how it can help your horse, dog or human😊

☯️ Relief: Loosens tight muscles and helps manage chronic pain or age-related stiffness.
☯️ Increased Flexibility: Improves stride length, range of motion, and suppleness.
☯️ Better Circulation: Enhances blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which aids in injury recovery and scar tissue management.
☯️ Stress Reduction: Lowers cortisol levels, leading to a calmer and more relaxed horse.

When NOT to Massage
Avoid massage if your horse is exhibiting systemic illness, such as a fever, lethargy, or loss of appetite. Massaging a sick horse can spread localized infections or mask symptoms that a veterinarian needs to diagnose.

Animal Reiki is a non-invasive, meditative practice where a practitioner channels "universal life energy" to help the animal relax, reduce stress, and tap into their natural self-healing abilities. It relies on calm presence and energetic connection rather than physical manipulation or diagnosis. It is usually carried out without the traditional touch approach, this allows the animal to receive what they need.
This is Solomon. He's showing lots of releases and realignment of his posture.

1. Anxiety spike?
Look around and find 3 things that are completely still.
Your nervous system begins to calm when your attention returns to the present moment.

2. Overthinking?
Say: “Not now.”
Delay the thought for 10 minutes. Most anxious thoughts lose their power when you stop feeding them immediately.

3. No energy or motivation?
Stand up and clap your hands quickly 10 times.
Move your body first—motivation often follows movement.

4. Feeling worthless?
List 3 things you did right today.
Even the smallest wins remind your brain that you're making more progress than you realize.

5. Panic attack?
Splash cold water on your face or hold something cold in your hands.
It can interrupt the body's panic response and help bring you back to the present.

6. Feeling emotionally overwhelmed?
Take one deep breath and relax your jaw, shoulders, and hands.
Stress doesn't only live in the mind—it lives in the body too.

7. Can't stop negative thoughts?
Ask yourself:
“Is this thought helping me or hurting me?”
Not every thought deserves your attention or belief.

8. Feeling lonely?
Step outside, even for a few minutes.
Sunlight, fresh air, and human presence affect the mind more than most people realize.

9. Lost in life?
You do not need perfect clarity right now.
You only need one small step forward.

10. Feeling mentally exhausted?
Rest without guilt.
A tired mind often sees life as worse than it really is.

11. Wanting to give up?
Remember: your pain is temporary, not permanent.
Some of your darkest days were survived by a version of you that almost gave up too.

12. Feeling like nobody understands you?
Sometimes healing begins the moment you stop hiding your pain from everyone around you.
