Integrated equine/canine therapies including CST and Masterson Method. Facilitating easy and joyful movement with Debono Moves - somatic movement education. Over my years of practice, experience has shown me the benefits of therapeutic touch and having an understanding of what helps us thrive as we navigate life’s challenges. Whether we are experiencing a temporary health issue or struggling in crisis, touch and communication are a bridge to heal our mind, body and spirit. The therapies I offer help build the bridge, whether it’s helping reduce pain, provide support at transitions in life or help you realise greater self-determination in your life and relationships. My prior experience with Ayurveda and touch therapies influences my approach with horses and dogs. I take a wholistic view, combining touch and movement with enrichment of environment and development of cognitive health. My approach includes Masterson Method, Debono Moves and Cranio-Sacral Therapy. Our animals and our own happiness become very much linked and whenever possible I like to work with animals and their owners together, supporting each in their journey to thrive and build a happy partnership. Ayurvedic Consultation
Ayurveda is both a science of health and an art for living. It guides us to understand our connection to our surroundings, the connections between our thoughts and how we feel physically, the link between metabolism and our health, and how the understanding of these relationships can enable us to thrive and experience equanimity in our lives. In your consultation we will look at your health concerns and the many aspects that contribute to health. Your consultation can include dietary advice and recommendations for herbal supplements and therapeutic treatments
Amnanda Process
The Amnanda Process is an Ayurvedic ‘rasayana’ or revitalising therapy and is a profound process of revitalisation that acts holistically at the physical, emotional and spiritual level. Amnanda means "the path to joy" and this is at the heart of all Amnanda treatments and the spirit of Ayurveda. The Amnanda treatments help ease the negative effects of stress and challenging experiences on our daily lives and nurture a process of rejuvenation or revitalisation. It is a journey that unfolds over the year - releasing trauma held in different areas of the body and at deeper levels with each successive treatment. Healing begins from the first treatment and each person’s journey is highly individual but always includes renewed enthusiasm, greater clarity and direction in life and restored youthful vitality. Integrated Touch Therapies for Improved Mobility, Health and Pain Relief
I work with a combination of therapies which I have found most effective for releasing chronic tension, pain and decreased mobility. These include Cranio-Sacral Therapy a gentle, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. A very light touch is used to tune into the cranial sacral rhythm to discern and release areas of restriction in the surrounding soft tissues. It can help to alleviate a variety of problems including chronic neck and back pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, birth trauma, tinnitus and TMJ issues. All ages can benefit from treatment and is particularly beneficial for babies. For horses and dogs
I work with a variety of therapies including Masterson Method, Feldenkrais-inspired techniques, Cranio Sacral Therapy and Tellington Touch. My approach is to encourage the horse to guide the focus of the therapy, actively participating and seeking the comfort of the releases. In this way, the horse is not braced against the change. This approach encourages new positive neural connections to be created at areas of chronic tension. Reading the horse’s response to touch is a key part of Masterson Method. This helps to work through the layers of accumulated compensatory issues as the horse learns to trust the combination of touch and guided assisted movements. The benefits of working within the horse’s emotional and physical comfort using techniques that focus on the key areas of strain are apparent in the horse’s improved suppleness of movement and relaxed attitude to training. The skills I have acquired working with people influences my work with animals, my intention is always to build trust and provide straight forward and practical advice. Amnanda for Dogs and Horses - Treatments and Training Courses
Amnanda Process is an Ayurvedic healing treatment developed for the effects of traumatic experiences and to restore health and vitality. Amnanda means bliss and this therapy brings joy to our animal companions and deepens our understanding of them and what they need to be happy and content. Amnanda is a series of 12 oil treatments given over a course of a year. The combination of the oil, specific herbs and touch of the therapist creates a response in the epigenome of the cell. This change at a cellular level triggers healing at a physical level, repairing injury, increasing immunity and overall improvement of metabolism. The loving touch triggers production of hormones and neuropeptides and increases a sense of contentment. Amnanda also enables a different interpretation of life experiences increasing the animal’s positivity, confidence, openness to new experiences and ability to learn.
