Bowen Therapy is holistic & non-invasive. Working with horses now, because I have always been around horses, is not my story. I have fallen in love with horses.

It works to encourage the release of any tension & pull in the fascia, muscles, tendons & ligaments, allowing re-alignment of the soft tissues & skeleton, encouraging correct functioning of the body as a whole. I would love to be able to say that I have been around horses all my life, that I rode from the age of two, fell off naughty ponies at Pony Club and went on to own a variety of horses growi

ng up that taught me everything I know. It is true that I rode when I was little, but that was restricted to twice yearly visits to Dartmoor, braving the wind and the rain on half terms hacking trips. Having done an English Literature degree at Leeds University and spent a year living and working in Australia, I joined Unilever as a Brand Manager. After three years, I left to live and work in London for thirteen years as a Brand Strategist/ Planner in international advertising and media agencies. In 2010, my partner and I set up our own business, a brand consultancy called BlazyePearce and moved to the South West, to West Devon, choosing to live right on the edge of Dartmoor. It was then, in conjunction with getting the two Labradors that I had promised myself that I really got bitten by the infamous horsey bug. It didn’t take long for me to come to the conclusion that I actually preferred spending time with horses on yards, rather than with people in meeting rooms and on planes and I decided to try and find a way of making that the norm, whilst still utilising some of my existing skills. Having had a lifetime of sports related injuries and therefore, being well versed on physiotherapy, sports massage, acupuncture and many rehabilitation exercises, I was intrigued when I came across Bowen in my research. What I found interesting and continue to find amazing, is that so much can be achieved by seemingly doing so little. I was incredibly lucky in that I got to train under Paula Esson, Julian Baker and Sylvia Wilkinson from the College of Bowen Studies and Lotty Merry of Rose Farm College of Equine Studies. Paula and Lotty in particular have been brilliant tutors and mentors and they continue to inspire me in terms of furthering my knowledge and experience. Sounds over dramatic I know, but that is what has happened over the last three years particularly as I have been constantly around them, ridden them, treated them, watched them and read endlessly about them. I’m not going to lie and it was an open secret whilst I did my human training, but I was training in human in order to work with horses. I have been lucky enough to work with some people for whom Bowen can literally change their lives, but in my opinion, it is the way in which many horses react to treatment that makes being a therapist so amazing. It really is a total pleasure to treat such magnificent creatures in all their shapes and sizes and see tangible signs of their bodies reacting to the work being put in. Seven years that have seen close calls, falls, broken bones and an awful lot of pure, unadulterated enjoyment later and having searched for a 15.3 hh, nine year old, bay gelding, I am now the obscenely proud owner of a 16 hh, 7 year old, iron grey mare. They say they find you and as we embark on our second year of getting to know each other, I think even she is O.K with the match! I am really lucky in that I can keep her really close at Matthew Hall Equestrian, under the vastly experienced, professional care of Matt and Lisa who have both been instrumental to our development so far.
