In the equine and all mammalian bodies, fascia is connective tissue with extensive relationships, functionalities and structures that connect the entire anatomy holistically. Its continuity is a place to begin – to move awareness beyond biomechanics, assess the tensegrity structure, and instead look at those lines of fascial connection that are the basis for vitality. This course takes an Ortho-Bionomy approach to working with the fascia by fostering self-awareness and deeper understanding in the equine body.

FaceTime, Zoom, Phone or Email Consultation – 1 Hour
Recently technology has afforded me the opportunity to work with owners and students of animals while they are at the barn or in their homes. For those who live anywhere in the world, this ability to use FaceTime or Zoom to make a connection and work on real world health issues is a big breakthrough. As the instructor, I can view the horse and feel the horse’s energy across a great distance, and know where he or she feels discomfort and where her strengths are. Together with the owner or student, we can intuitively find what works for the horse and how to make him or her more comfortable in his/her body. This is a hands-on session for the owner.
