Synergy and Freedom

Synergy and Freedom Facilitating equine well-being and performance. www.synergyandfreedom.com.au

Horses are not simply a collection of moving parts, they are living beings with individual traits and minds of their own. It is for this reason that addressing each horse holistically - physically, mentally and emotionally is often necessary for true healing to occur or for them to reach their true potential, whatever that may be! This doesn't always mean endless bodywork sessions, nor does it necessarily mean a complete overhaul of your lifestyle and training. Sometimes (often!) it is the small, targeted changes that lead to transformational results; improved performance, a more balanced mindset, improved training, improved quality of life, more joy... whatever the desired result may be. Offerings:

Done-For-You equine rehabilitation, prehabilitation and conditioning

Done-With-You equine rehabilitation, prehabilitation and conditioning

Private sessions including equine bodywork, human-horse relationship work (on the ground or under saddle), equine or human biomechanics, equine or human mindset/emotional regulation.

3 and 6 month tailored rider mentorship programmes

Online courses for riders


About Me:

My journey with horses has been a varied and exciting one. I've ridden and produced horses to the elite levels, being named on squads, placing at Adelaide 5*****. To get there, I learned as much as I could by working in top yards ; performance, racing, polo, etc. I wanted to learn how to look after my own horses' injuries, rather than being reliant on someone else, so became a human chiropractor with the goal of becoming an equine chiropractor. I have also learned a range of other equine modalities including evidence based equine rehabilitation, CST, equine acupuncture and acupressure, massage, hoof rehabilitation and others. My aim is to prove that competition/racing and equine wellbeing can and do complement each other and to change the way we approach equine health and performance.

For me, the journey has been a lot of inner work... clearing out all those hidden demons that get in the way of my riding. Well, actually they get in the way of my life, but that never seems to be as motivating as my riding!

I spent years trying to build confidence. I tried the "fake it till you make it approach" (FYI the unfortunate part is that your mind is fully aware that you are faking it... and your mind is the bit you are trying to fool!). I tried visualisations, which probably would have been great if I was someone who could see anything other than the back of my eyelids when I close my eyes. I had a lot of "just get on with it" advice... if I could have I would have....

All in all, the path was frustrating and often had me feeling LESS confident than when I started.

But I did eventually stumble across some techniques that did help. Then some more. Then some more. I have tried so many things I wouldn't have a hope of counting them.

But they did get that wimpy kid to competing at 5***** level eventing, jumping grand prix courses, riding breakers and a whole host of other things she never thought she would do. And because horse lessons are never just about horses, it also means I have finished three different university degrees, managed public speaking... and really just done a whole lot of things that I should never have been able to do.

Now of course not everyone wants to jump big fences or speak in front of an audience. Not everyone is starting from such a terrified place as I did. But I have yet to find anyone who doesn't struggle in some way with mindset or that elusive phenomenon we call "confidence".

That is why I love this topic so much, and it's why I am making September the Mindset Makeover month. Because it's relevant to everyone in some way, and it's been (and continues to be) one of the biggest journeys of my life!

Bulk sessions!

If you are someone who likes your horse treated regularly every month and want to save some $$... I have a bulk session price (not new), but I also now have a more flexible way to offer it if the lump sum doesn't quite work for you!

DM me if you'd like $100-$300 off...

Our Story

Synergy and Freedom was born out of a love of inspiring connection to bring together a whole which is capable of continuous expansion, reflection and growth. This whole, by nature is greater than the sum of its parts and is therefore more resilient in the face of stress, more courageous in new discovery and able to experience more bliss. Synergy and Freedom is thus a holistic approach to life. It is mentoring and coaching that improves the cohesiveness of body, mind and spirit, for humans, horses, and human-horse relationships. Pulling from a range of modalities and life experiences, all sessions are tailored to individual needs and goals on any given day. This is not a fixed formula, but a fluid approach to creating a more synergistic and free experience of life. If you want to know more about me, or what I do, I would invite you to text me on 0421313863, drop me an email at keira.byrnes88@gmail.com, or take a look at my website www.synergyandfreedom.net . I would love to find out what I can do for you!
