Two of my favorites did a collab 🤎
Celeste-Leilani Lazaris and April Schaeffer Bodyworks

Annnnnnd in July, after ten years of online friendship, April and I will finally meet in person. We don’t live far from each other and it should have happened long before now 😂🐴

I’m thankful for horses that unite us!

NEW PODCST EPISODE
"The Species Appropriate Workout is The Walk" with Celeste Lazaris

https://open.spotify.com/episode/44UQLnA1HrnMJPdyIb1Ug2?si=DBbD9ZRKR2ibbsIHQbWVEg

Celeste and I share a chat about how we see improper posture development in our businesses; how encouraging proper development can help horses find comfort in their bodies and better partnerships with their humans.

Having a recent dissection experience together solidifies our common passion for advocating more species appropriate lives for the horses we all love.
We lovingly chat about how impactful of an educational experience that is.
If you want to learn more about Celeste and her BTMM work, you can find her on all the socials and via her website ⁠https://www.balancethroughmovementmethod.com/

Our hope is that you find some nuggets from our conversation to inspire your own equine experience.

What you need to know before yanking and pulling legs. 🙃

You don’t have to be like everyone else or do what everyone else is doing.

This is something I had to learn over time. Some days, the hard way.

Allowing what others did, do, suggest or say shape me brought about unrest and lack of alignment with what God wanted me to be doing.

I learned skills along the way of what I thought was a detour but a part of His plan for my growth personally and professionally.

I’m here to tell you, just because you know and have the skills, tools and experience, does not mean you have to offer it all or do it all. ( Read that again !!)

It’s okay to simplify. It’s okay to offer a niche. I do.

There’s plenty of therapy that anyone qualified can do, BUT there’s only one YOU.

You are special, unique and gifted.

Clients will book with you because it’s YOU first and the services you provide second.

I have a wait list now. I say this humbly and not to boast.

I used to not have this. I used to stress over money. One cancel would stress me out because I couldn’t pay the bills. I worked hard, said yes any chance I could and didn’t charge enough. I didn’t trust God where I should have trusted Him with my business, my worth and the value I brought to the barn.

Currently, I give names of other Professionals just as qualified and what I would consider MORE qualified than me, giving clients opportunity to go elsewhere.
No one should have to wait to find relief and healing.

Yet, some choose to wait. For me.

This is a huge and humbling blessing.

But, it can bring with it a level of pressure if you aren’t following Him.

IYKYK.

I feel like someone needed to read and hear this today.

There are times when I stare blankly at the screen because I feel like I need to post something and then I give up.

Others like this where it just flows because I know God wants me to share it.

That is the business I am in.

Following Him and allowing Him to use me with the gifts He has given.

I like helping others do the same. I’m passionate about helping those starting their Therapy business by helping them establish kind and healthy boundaries and tips for growth and sustainability.

I try to download my ten years of learning so they don’t have to go through some of the things I did and be as successful as they can be as soon as they can be.

There’s a lot that goes on besides hands on horses or hands on humans and I’m here for that part too 🤎

😔What no one told me when my Mare had ulcers.

Any search I did resulted in signs and symptoms, but what no one told me, is that there is a horse personality type that is prone to digestive issues, including ulcers.

My Mare matched every single one of them them to a T!

I created the ultimate symptom and personality checklist for horse owners. Not sure? Get the checklist.

Already know your horse has ulcers? Get the guide.

Tick Tips 💡

**Keep a bottle of nail polish remover in the groom tote. Pull off the tick and drop it in! Dead in no time.

**Schedule a Raindrop Session for your horse. All bugs and flies clear out and away from my horses following a treatment. They would, considering the oils used are antiviral, antibacterial and come from plants that buggies don’t like. Helps the horse’s immune system.

**Use animal scents ointment! When it is on the underbelly and groin, it deters flies and ticks due to its ointment nature and natural oils!

You’re welcome! 🤎🐴
