Hey everyone 🤍
Here’s my February availability!

This gives you a look at how my schedule is shaping up this month and when you’d be able to book in.

Here’s a quick little legend to help you read the calendar:
• Flexible availability - a few different appointment options available
• Limited availability - only a couple of spots left
• Evening availability - appointments available later in the day
• Full - fully booked

You’ll notice weekends aren’t shown on the calendar. That time is usually set aside for admin, planning, and keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. That said - if weekends (or a certain weekday) are the only times that work for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. With a bit of planning, I’m always happy to see what we can make work 🤍

As we move toward spring, it’s a great opportunity to start supporting your horse’s body as workload, conditioning, and expectations increase. Thoughtful maintenance care now can help set them up to feel comfortable, balanced, and ready for the season ahead.

Booking ahead is always appreciated, as my schedule tends to fill more quickly during this time of year - thank you so much for your understanding 🤍

I’m really looking forward to working with you and your horse and supporting your goals for the season ahead 🫶🏻

If you’re new here, welcome 🤍
And if it’s been a while, welcome back 🫶🏻

Hey! I’m Callista ☺️

• owner & operator of Equi-librium
• art lover + fantasy book devourer 🎨
• I love moving my body daily — from walks and dancing to yoga 👣
• happiest when I’m outside and grounded in nature 🌞
• proudly nerdy about biology, anatomy, and the why behind how bodies and systems work 🫀

Now, the ✨ work ✨

I believe a horse’s body tells the truth about what it’s carrying, how it’s being used, and what it needs - and my work exists to support that, not override it.

Supporting the horse’s body is part of the responsibility of working with them - not a luxury reserved for when something goes wrong. Their bodies speak through movement, tension, compensation, and subtle change, and I’ve always been drawn to listening to that language.

I’m an equine remedial therapist who treats the whole horse - not just the area showing discomfort. I draw from multiple modalities and assess the entire body, because nothing exists in isolation. When something shows up in one place, there’s usually a bigger picture behind it, and my focus is working from the root, not just managing the symptom.

I work with all horses: performance, pleasure, retirees, and everything in between. This isn’t quick-fix work or a one-time tune-up. It’s thoughtful, ongoing care that supports balance, comfort, individualized performance at their best, and long-term wellbeing.

If you’re someone who stays curious, is open to learning, and wants to understand your horse more deeply - you’re in the right place 🤍

Thanks for being here. I’m really grateful you’re on this journey with me 🫶🏻

✨ Acupuncture/Acupressure ✨

Acupuncture and acupressure work with your horse’s natural energy (Qi) to unlock stagnation, reduce deep tension and realign the body from core to surface.

These therapies:
• Calm the nervous system and regulate emotional reactivity
• Release muscle and fascia restrictions
• Support circulation, digestion, detox and immune function
• Address not just pain, but its origin, restoring harmony across body, mind and energy

📍 Ready to see your horse move, breathe and feel better? Book a session with Equi-librium today.
✨ Restore Flow. Release Tension. Transform Movement.

11/18/2025

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient system built on balance - restoring flow, harmony and connection between body, mind and energy.

In this post, we’re diving into how TCM works, why it’s so effective for horses and how it can support your horse’s overall well-being. From calming the nervous system to improving organ function, circulation and recovery.

Your horse’s body speaks in energy, rhythm and flow - and when that balance shifts, they tell us in subtle ways: tension, worry, stiffness or shutdown.

✨ Through TCM, we gently bring those systems back into balance - restoring Qi flow, calming the mind and reconnecting body to breath.

At Equi-librium, each session is a conversation between energy and ease, helping your horse move, feel and be their best self again.

🕊️ Find your horse’s equilibrium - the place where healing truly begins.

DIAPHRAGM RESTORATION
-THE UNSUNG HERO OF EQUINE BALANCE-
Most people never think about the diaphragm when it comes to their horse’s movement…�but it’s one of the most influential structures in the entire body.
When the diaphragm loses mobility, everything else compensates — posture, breathing, digestion and even behaviour. Over time, this can lead to tension, imbalance or “mystery” issues that don’t seem to resolve.

✨ Diaphragm Restoration helps release these restrictions, allowing your horse to move, breathe and function with ease again.�This single treatment often creates a ripple effect - improving topline engagement, relaxation and overall body harmony.

🩶 Every horse can benefit from a balanced diaphragm - from performance athletes to pasture companions.

📩 Message me to book your horse’s Diaphragm Restoration or to learn how this technique can help your horse move and feel their best.

✨ Kinesiology Taping for Horses ✨

Kinesiology taping is more than just colourful tape - it’s a way to help your horse move, feel and recover better.

Each application is customized to the horse’s anatomy, posture and movement patterns - supporting balance, alignment and comfort without restricting motion.

By gently interacting with the skin and fascia, the tape encourages circulation, eases tension and helps guide the body toward more natural, efficient movement.

Whether your horse is in training, recovering from an injury, or just needs a little extra support. Kinesiology taping can make a meaningful difference. 🤍

✨ Curious how taping could help your horse? Send a message - I’m always happy to chat about what might work best for them. 🤍

The lymphatic system is the body’s quiet powerhouse. Clearing waste, reducing inflammation and keeping every system in flow.

When that flow slows, the body starts to speak. Through stiffness, heaviness, fatigue or slower recovery. Subtle signs that balance has shifted and the system needs support.

Because the lymphatic system has no central pump, it relies entirely on movement, respiration and proper biomechanics to stay in motion. When movement is limited, whether from injury, tension, or inactivity - congestion builds and the body’s natural rhythm is disrupted.

Lymphatic drainage works to restore that gentle rhythm. It helps clear stagnation, ease pressure and support the body’s natural ability to heal and rebalance itself.

Every horse benefits from better flow - from performance athletes to pasture companions. It’s not just about clearing swelling; it’s about maintaining harmony between systems and helping the body do what it was designed to do: move, recover and thrive.

✨ Support the lymph that keeps the body thriving

⚠️ Why pulling on a horse’s tongue is not relaxing & why it’s actually harmful ⚠️

I know this trend is meant to “help the horse relax,” but here’s what’s actually happening when you do it.

The tongue is a highly innervated muscle - meaning it’s packed with nerve endings.
It’s directly attached to the hyoid apparatus, a tiny, delicate group of bones that suspends the tongue and larynx. The hyoid isn’t designed to withstand external force, it breaks very easily.

When a tongue is pulled, it can strain or even fracture the hyoid.
This causes irreversible damage - once that connection is disrupted, it can’t be undone… only managed.

The hyoid doesn’t just affect the mouth. It’s deeply connected through fascia and muscular chains that link into the jaw, poll, neck, shoulders, sternum and diaphragm. Influencing how the entire body moves, from poll to pelvis.

So when tension is created here, it doesn’t stay local - it ripples through the whole body.
Balance, posture and movement are all affected.

When you pull on the tongue, you’re not “releasing tension” - you’re creating it.
Here’s what’s actually happening when that pull is performed:
1. Overstretching sensitive tissues
2. Stimulating nerves that trigger a stress response - activating the body’s fight, flight or freeze
3. Disrupting how the horse swallows
4. Interfering with breathing
5. Altering digestion
6. Causing micro-trauma or fractures in the hyoid bones
7. Affecting balance, posture and full-body movement

Instead of calming the nervous system, pulling on the tongue actually activates it.
The horse might stand still or drop their head afterward, but that’s not relaxation.
That’s a freeze response.
Their nervous system is overwhelmed, not soothed.

The hyoid also connects to several cranial nerves, including the vagal nerve, which helps regulate heart rate, digestion and true relaxation.
When this area is irritated, it can throw the entire system off - leading to jaw tightness, head tossing, swallowing issues and overall body tension.

True relaxation doesn’t come from force.
It comes from restoring balance, releasing restriction gently and allowing the nervous system to shift into safety on its own.

✨ Respect the body and it will relax for you.
Force it, and it will fight you - even if it looks still/relaxed.

✨ If you’ve ever seen this done or been told it “helps them relax,” share this post to help spread awareness and protect more horses from unnecessary harm.

✨ Cranial Sacral Therapy ✨

A gentle, hands-on approach that works with the body’s natural rhythm - the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (LCS). This clear fluid nourishes and protects the brain and spinal cord, influencing every system in the body.

Just like your breath or heartbeat, this rhythm moves on its own. A subtle wave flowing from the cranium down to the sacrum and back again. It’s the body’s quiet pulse of vitality.

When that rhythm is disrupted by trauma, tension or imbalance, it can change how your nervous system communicates. Showing up as stiffness, behavioural changes or a sense that something just feels “off.”

Through Cranial Sacral Therapy, we help restore that gentle rhythm - bringing balance, clarity and ease back to the body and mind. 🌿

✨ Ready to experience the difference this subtle yet powerful therapy can make?
Send me a message or book your horse’s next session to help their body find its natural rhythm again.
