While my hands will always be my first “tool”(and very hard to video alone), many times I will integrate other modalities to compliment my work. In this case of a sacrum with decreased nutation and counter-nutation and the surrounding muscles and tendinous attachments having stress points, knots and adhesions, I decided to add microcurrent, cupping, graston and specific acupressure to help aid in relaxing the tissues and restoring normal movement. This was added after massage and myofascia work. After, I did gentle remobilizing through rocking and stretching(also hard to video. I guess I need to hire someone to follow me around 😂)

Good morning and happy Thursday! I thought I would drop in for a quick life and business update.

1)This summer has been a fun but busy one. Both business and personal life. It may take me a little longer than usual to respond to messages. I work on my schedule typically on the weekends so if you are waiting for an appointment, plan on hearing from me on a Saturday/sunday. On the weekends where I am working at a show then you will hear from me the following Monday.

2) New clients(this does not include saddle fittings). I have had a large influx of requests for new clients. Most areas I am fully booked for rotations but I will either offer a wait list position or recommend another one of my phenomenal bodyworker friends that I trust for you and your horse if I do not have an open spot.

3) Current clients/Saddle fittings. I do my best to accommodate changes or the one time saddle fittings, however, with a full schedule it does limit me. I do allow haul ins to my Bow location for those needing sooner appointments or who are out of my typical service area(Island, Skagit, Whatcom and North Snohomish).

4) I feel this one needs to be addressed again. Please have your horse ready by their appointment time. If your appointment is at 9am and you wait until I arrive to go catch your horse, take off blankets(mostly winter) and brush off heavy dust or mud it will cut into your session.

5) Payment due at time of service unless otherwise agreed upon. If I have to chase you to get paid, you will forfeit your spot on my rotation. This is how I make my living and pay my bills. Please be considerate.

6) I have some new and very exciting things in the works. Both with continuing education and new services that will be offered. More to come on that when I iron out the details.

Ok I think I covered just about everything for now and need to get out the door to start working on some ponies.

Do you use PEMF, Microcurrent(Acuscope) or other machines on your horse?

In Washington, to be a legal bodyworker you have to go to an approved school with so many hours, lots of exams, national boards, more exams and licensing. There is extensive education on anatomy, biomechanics and all the different systems. That being said there are a lot of grey areas with people using machines and not their hands that are not regulated.
But here is where I get frustrated for the client, lately I have come behind someone using either a microcurrent(Acuscope) or PEMF who treated and focused on a certain area because the machine “told them there was a problem” and missed the actually cause or primary issue. Now while that may be true and there is an issue where the machine told you and it will give some relief to that area, what that machine doesn’t tell you is if that problem is the primary issue or the result of something more somewhere else in the body. And if that “practitioner” doesn’t have knowledge of the 205 bones, 700 muscles with their insertion/origin points and function, joints, fascia lines, organs or biomechanics… then how can they look at the whole horse and truly put the puzzle together to help that horse? Now I’m not talking about someone purchasing a machine to work on your own horses, I’m talking about people taking money to work on other people’s horses.
In the human world, you have to be a doctor, physical therapist or someone with a foundational education and knowledge of the body to use these machines and work on people(legally). Why are horses any different?

There are many outstanding licensed therapists that offer these tools and machines in their practice. They have a solid knowledge of the body and biomechanics. I will always recommend using one of them(and no, I’m not talking about pushing people to just use me). Not to be mean or not want everyone to succeed or have business, but because I advocate for horses and the owners who eat top ramen so they can give their horse everything they deserve to help them feel their best. So owners, do your homework, ask for credentials and licensing(not certifications unless they also carry a license).

I’m sure this post will trigger some people and that’s ok. If it helps even just one owner and their horse then it was worth it. If you need help finding a practitioner feel free to message me and I will help if I can.

Sorry guys, I’m down a Bemer 🤷‍♀️ Mew has claimed it as her own. I laid it out to clean it and she decided it was now hers. Who’s gonna tell her…

July is going to be insane! I will be traveling(Virginia, Texas, Ellensburg, Spokane)to work on horses about 2 weeks out of the month. That means squeezing in about 75 regular rotation horses into the days I am home and flexibility will be limited. Thank you to those clients working with me shifting your appointments around this month. And if you need to cancel or change your appointment please let me know asap.

Bless my wonderful husband for supporting me and my crazy dreams and holding down the fort at home while I travel the country lol
