🐴CALLING ALL EQUINE OWNERS🐴

Is your horse presenting with signs of discomfort, sensitivity, or dysregulation of the nervous system?

With over a decade of experience as an Equine Craniosacral Practitioner, I specialise in working horses that display reactivity, tension, or behavioural responses linked to underlying discomfort. Each session is delivered with a calm, patient approach, tailored to the individual.

My practice focuses on the assessment and support of:
• Nervous, anxious or highly sensitive horses
• TMJ dysfunction
• Head shaking and head shyness
• History of head trauma
• Dysregulated or overactive nervous systems

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that works with the body’s fascial system— the connective tissue network surrounding and supporting muscles, organs, and the central nervous system.

Restrictions within this system can contribute to compensatory patterns, discomfort, and altered behaviour. By facilitating the release of these restrictions, CST supports improved nervous system regulation, tissue mobility, and overall physiological balance.

This approach is particularly beneficial for horses where subtle dysfunction may not be easily identified, but is expressed through behaviour, tension, or performance changes.

Based in the Midlands. Travel available nationwide.

My teacher and mentor, Maureen Rogers, inspired me into following her same passion for helping head shakers. Recently I was honoured to work with a lady here in the UK on her behalf. Great progress already seen even after one session. Excited to see where we go in the follow up session coming shortly!

An email from a woman in the Uk, who contacted Maureen about her horse that’s suffers with Headshaking!

Maureen had a phone consultation with the owner in December, reviewing photos and CT scans that were sent to her and directed the owner to one of her very qualified students in the UK!!

An email from the owner:

Maureen
Just wanted to say a huge thank you for putting me in touch with Niki For the first time I such a long time I wet to bed smiling !

Gracie loved her and her trust in Niki was obvious to me
She went at Gracie’s pace

Best of all she gave me hope that she can help Gracie and I’m so happy to have the opportunity to improve Gracie’s life
and everything that you have taught her and now I’m fortunate to benefit from that!

Once again Maureen thank you so very much
Best wishes Jo and Gracie xx

The follow up email from the owner….

“Hi Maureen I hope you are well ! What’s the weather like with you ? We’re super excited here to be approaching Spring !

Gracie is good and I’m definitely seeing an improvement
She’s a very good patient

Niki is returning 02 April

Forever grateful to you Only wish I could meet you in person to thank you ☺️

Best wishes Jo and Gracie of course ###

Looking for a new way to get deeper results in your body?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a subtle, hands-on practice that invites your body to soften, unwind, and remember its natural rhythm. Through gentle touch, tension is released from the body’s connective tissue—fascia—the web that lovingly holds your muscles, organs, nerves, brain, and spinal cord.

Because everything in the body is connected, holding in one place can ripple elsewhere. CST offers space for those patterns to ease, allowing the nervous system to settle and the body to reconnect with its own wisdom.

🌿 This work supports your body’s innate capacity for:
• Self-regulation
• Self-correction
• Self-healing

📣 Many people experience:
• Deep rest and a sense of calm
• Relief from headaches, migraines, and neck or back pain
• Improved sleep and emotional balance
• Gentle release of stored stress or trauma
• A renewed flow of energy and vitality
• A deeper sense of overall well-being

CST doesn’t push or fix.
It listens.
It supports.
It creates the space for healing to unfold naturally.

👉 If you’re feeling called to slow down, soften, and reconnect with your body, come and book a session or reach out with questions.

MIGRAINES OR CONSTANT HEADACHES?

Why not try a gentle, natural approach.

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light-touch, noninvasive therapy that helps release tension in the head, neck, and spine.

Many clients report:
• Fewer headaches & migraines
• Less pain and pressure
• Reduced need for medication
• Better neck movement & overall relaxation

How CST may help:

• Gently releases tight fascia (connective tissue) around the skull, neck, and spine
• Supports healthy flow of cerebrospinal fluid
• Relieves pressure on irritated nerves and muscles

If medications alone aren’t giving you the relief you want, CST can be a soothing, complementary option alongside your current care.

When I’m working with a client, I’m not just using technique – I’m meeting you from the heart. Creating a deeply compassionate, safe space is at the core of my Craniosacral Therapy work.

Did you know your heart is the most powerful source of electromagnetic energy in your body?

Its electrical field is around 60 times stronger than the brain’s. Its magnetic field is over 100 times stronger and can be measured up to 3 feet away, in all directions. Research from the HeartMath Institute shows that our heart rhythms can actually synchronise with those around us – including our animals.

In one study, 12‑year‑old Josh simply sat near his dog, Mabel, and consciously radiated feelings of love toward her. He didn’t touch her or try to get her attention. As he generated this loving state, the heart rhythms of both Josh and Mabel shifted into greater coherence together, as seen in the graph below.

In a similar study, researcher Ellen Gehrke, Ph.D., sat quietly with her horse. Without touching or interacting, she moved into a calm, coherent heart state – and the horse’s heart rhythm also shifted into a more ordered, harmonious pattern.

This is why the quality of presence in a healing session matters so much. In Craniosacral Therapy, I work with this gentle, heart-based coherence to support your nervous system, help you settle, and allow your body’s innate healing intelligence to emerge.

If you’d like to experience this kind of grounded, heart-centered care, you’re welcome to get in touch or message me here to book a session.

➡️ Are you a horse rider?
➡️ Are you looking to improve your riding and get the best out of your partnership with your horse?
➡️ Are you plagued with body niggles/injuries?
➡️ Is your horse stuck in 'your' compensation pattern?

Having treated horses for the last ten years there are many times I have discussed who the compensation pattern is coming from? As riders we spend hundreds on saddle fittings, bridle and bit fittings, physios, osteos, training lessons for our horse but very few riders actually invest in themselves. If you have physical body restrictions you cannot expect your horse to not have the same.

Craniosacral Therapy is a wonderful light hands on touch engaging with the body at a very deep but subtle level. Helping to treat pain and dysfunction and aid improvement in overall body health. It is an incredibly effective approach and works alongside the body’s ability to repair itself. This therapy is what helped me avoid spinal surgery.
