the listen approach workshops

Leading by Intuitive Stillness to Equus Neutral
Our bodies and our horses' bodies are functioning most optimally and are healthiest when they are in a state of balance... neutral. We can also assist them and truly hear what the horse needs when we evaluate and treat them from a state of neutral. By embodying a state of stillness, we can intuitively support the horse's body to heal. 
​
The LISTEN Approach is a combination of modalities including craniosacral, osteopathic techniques, myofascial release, structural integration, and acupressure to help your horse's body find true balance and wellness. It focuses on addressing deep pain and dysfunction for a customized therapeutic approach to wellness where the horse directs the healing.
All teaching is Christ based and utilizes the Holy Spirit for guidance and energy use. 
There are 3 pillars that make-up the LISTEN Approach ™:
​
Pillar 1- Supporting the Nervous System: Equine Craniosacral (Levels 1-3)
Pillar 2- Whole Body Balancing: (Levels 1-2)
Pillar 3- Connecting to Heal: Finding the Stillness Within to Connect Deeper with your horse and yourself
  • Each level is a prerequisite to the next level as you progress through the pillars.
  • Workshops are limited to six students for maximum 1:1 learning and consist of two full days of lecture and hands-on experience.
  • Each student is provided a workbook and invited to a private Facebook group for support along their learning journey. 
  • Horses will be provided for use. You do not need to bring your own horse unless coordinated with the host. 
"Amy's presentation and style of teaching the individual is incomparable. She holds space for people as well as the horses. I am so grateful to work with Amy and to have formed the equine healing community in our area. She is truly a gift."
​ -L. Milbrandt, Wisconsin

Supporting the Nervous System: Equine Craniosacral
Pillar 1 ​(Levels 1-3)
​
Picture
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. There are hundreds of nerves communicating throughout the body to perform certain innate functions. If the flow becomes disrupted, a myriad of issues can arise. 
​
​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. 
​
  • Level 1- During Level 1, you will learn the foundation of the LISTEN Approach. This includes what energy is, how to use it, how to feel the cranial rhythm, and how to rebalance most of the cranial bones.
  • Level 2- The Level 2 workshop builds upon the feel learned in the Level 1 by adding some deeper cranial bones as well as some significant nerves including the vagus and trigeminal. 
  • Level 3- In Level 3, everything really comes together. You will learn Tissue Release and Unwinding, Diaphragm Release, and Emotional Releases to fully support the entire nervous system. 
​

"Amy’s course was incredibly well put together and professional. She was a very open teacher, but also stayed on topic when questions threatened to send the topics elsewhere. I enjoyed my time so much that I will be continuing to fly in from out of state to receive a certification from her program. "​
