A unique healing modality for horses
the listen approach
Leading by Intuitive Stillness to Equus Neutral
A unique combination of modalities including craniosacral, osteopathic techniques, myofascial release, and acupressure may be used to help your horse’s body find balance and wellness. It focuses on addressing deep pain and dysfunction for a customized therapeutic approach to wellness.
Each horse's body has a very unique blueprint to balanced wellness and health. To access that blueprint, we must work WITH the body. True healing cannot be forced.
To truly achieve deep healing, a connection must be made in order to obtain permission to facilitate the exact healing a body needs. By allowing God to work through us, we partner with the body to help it achieve deep healing and the balance it inherently wants to achieve.

WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL?
Craniosacral Therapy is a light touch healing modality that utilizes energy to work WITH the central nervous system in the body to help balance be achieved. The name describes the spinal cord connection at that base of the cranium (skull) and the sacrum. Along the spinal cord are hundreds of nerves communicating throughout the body to perform certain innate functions. The movement of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) communicating along the spinal cord is called the Cranial Rhythm or Wave. It can be pictured as flowing back and forth from the cranium to the sacrum in a closed hydraulic pump like system. If the flow becomes disrupted, a myriad of issues can arise because of so many systems in the body being dependent upon the proper communication along the spinal cord.
Our bodies are not static. As you are sitting there, or your horse is standing there, literally thousands of things are happening inside the body. As the cranial rhythm/wave is moving along your spinal cord, each organ, and in turn system, is doing a specific dance that is unique to your own body. As the CSF is pumping back and forth, fascia all throughout the body is moving, as are the cranial bones in your head. What?! Yes, the bones in your head move as the CSF is pumping in your body (there are documented scientific studies proving this). Craniosacral can be utilized to rebalance and mobilize the bones in the head.
So how does the cranial rhythm become disrupted and cause issues in the body? There are so many ways. The most common causes I see in horses are from direct trauma (pulling back when tied, fall, kick, being BORN, having their teeth floated, etc.), experiencing a traumatic event (emotions are stored in the fascia), performing with imbalanced hooves or poor fitting tack, or being exposed to an environmental toxin (feed, chemicals on the pasture, or vaccines). The disruption can manifest anywhere in the body, but there is almost always evidence in the cranial bones! No surprise since that’s an insertion point for the entire communication system. If the disruption causes a shift in the cranial bones, a horse may experience a headache or experience nerve impingement (trigeminal or vagus nerves).

"Words cannot quite describe what an authentic, genuine, and loving person Amy is. She has dedicated much love, time, and effort to my equine partners, and that is a gift to me. The way she loves the animal as if it were her own, the changes in the animal’s behavior, body, and mind, has been worth every minute. I am so thankful to have Amy apart of mine and my horses’ lives!"
