Essentially EMMETT

Essentially EMMETT EMMETT Technique Practitioner for People, Horses, & Dogs. EMMETT is a safe & gentle muscle release Welcome to Essentially EMMETT. I know plenty.

By way of introduction, my name is Fiona DC Ross and I’m an EMMETT Practitioner for People, Horses, and Dogs in the North East of Scotland. Based at the Urban Wellness Hub in Bridge of Don, Aberdeen. Travel available for stable visits for Horses, and outdoor garden visits for Dogs starting w/c 26th April 2021. Aberdeen Bowen & EMMETT Therapies for People

My background is in Psychology and Counselling, and I have studied various bodywork modalities over the last 17 years (e.g. Bowen Therapy, EMMETT Technique, Myofascial Release, Functional Yoga Teacher Training). I am passionate about people being relaxed, confident, and empowered, and I share this same focus in the animal world which I have always known and loved. I have shared my lifetime with animals, growing up with both large and small dogs. Being a horse rider for 20+ years and responsible for 2 beautiful horses for 15+ of those years. People influence animals' behaviour, for the right or wrong reasons, with the best or worst intentions. Animals develop a sense of the world that they live in through learning. They can react and display behaviours that are unhelpful and even harmful. I do not believe there is such a thing as a "bad dog" or "problem horse", instead I see an animal that has developed coping mechanisms and strategies for survival and protection for themselves and their owners. I research and practice natural and gentle positive methods to support humans, dogs, and horses to bring them back into balance. When we are all in a state of relaxation, we can improve and enhance our communication with one another. How many human relationships are there that have broken down as a result of ineffective communication? What if we could learn to listen and speak the same language with our animal companions? My goal with Essentially EMMETT is to support you, and your animal companion, to develop and deepen communication in a holistic way physically, mentally, and emotionally. Every human body is different, the same applies to animals. One size does not fit all. So the first session will include consultation for your animal using a holistic overview (sex, breed, size, feeding regime, exercise) along with approval from your Vet. I work alongside your Veterinary professionals to support you and your animal to receive the best tailored session(s). It became clear to me that the animals look to us for communicating that the environment is safe, and they read our behaviours to make sense of what to anticipate in the future. It is important that we are relaxed and confident… so I also work with humans alongside the animal to support and promote relaxation within both. Please ask if you would like to arrange tailored sessions for yourself and your companion too. The results I have seen with Bowen, EMMETT, and other relaxation methods have been remarkable and fuelled my passion to support people and animals. Hopefully my passion will shine on through, and you will love EMMETT, learning relaxation techniques, and therapeutic grade essential oils as much as I do!

Foster Mare Available in Echt, Aberdeenshire - please share

We have a client with a foster mare available - Flicka, a kind and experienced mare who has very sadly lost her foal. While this has been a sad time, it means Flicka is now able to offer her care and gentle nature to an orphan foal in need of a mother.

About Flicka:
- Gentle, sweet, and exceptionally well-mannered
- Attentive mother with a calm temperament

Please get in touch with Flicka's owner on 07359713455 if you or someone you know have an orphan foal in need.

Let’s help Flicka do what she does best - be a wonderful mum once again.

**Strangles & Equine Flu**

With strangles and equine flu around, it’s hard not to worry — because our horses aren’t just animals, they’re family.

I know this might sound like a promotion (because yes, we make CleanRound), but honestly this matters more than any brand. Please just choose something that actually works. A disinfectant claiming 99.99% effectiveness really isn’t enough in an outbreak — and here’s why.

99.99% sounds high, but it still leaves 1 in every 10,000 pathogens behind. On rugs, yards and shared areas, that’s more than enough to allow disease to spread. A 6‑log disinfectant (99.9999%) reduces that to 1 in a million — a massive difference when you’re trying to protect horses.

That’s why we use CleanRound Yard Wash and Rug Wash ourselves. They’re independently tested to a 6‑log (99.9999%) reduction, because when it comes to biosecurity, “nearly good enough” just isn’t good enough.

Clean yards, clean rugs, informed choices — especially right now — really do matter. 🐴💙
