*New Substack blog post and Black Friday offers*

It’s ok to be sceptical about reiki, but try to be open-minded too!

I believe a that a combination of using your logical brain and gut instinct is most beneficial when making decisions in life. Gut extinct/intuition is a powerful thing!

That’s why I always say to new clients that being sceptical about reiki is natural and totally fine, but being open-minded is important too…when we have faith and trust the process that’s where the magick can happen…

The great thing with horses is they will tell you if it’s for them! Horses are so in touch with their intuition, and so sensitive to energy. this is one of the most beautiful things about working with animals - they are always authentically them and teach us to be more authentically us!

The power of joint horse/human reiki healing sessions ✨🦄🪄

Horses and their humans have unique bonds filled with so much love! And because of this they often share personality traits, and even ailments! Horses also mirror emotions back to us humans to show us what we need to address in ourselves.

This is why joint sessions are so powerful and you can see transformative changes in both your horse and yourself!

There are two ways to do a joint reiki session with horse and owner. The first is to bring the owner into the session with intention, and doesn’t involve them sitting/laying or even me necessarily placing my hands on them. The second way is to do one session after the other - in or out of the stable.

Positive changes to the horse/pony may also be enhanced if the owner/rider also receives healing - healing together is powerful stuff!

It’s SO important for your horse’s health that they are not stuck in fight or flight!

If your horse spooks easily or is very reactive, is nervous/on edge lots of the time then they may be stuck in fight or flight a lot of the time or even all of the time! And this is not a good place for them to be…

When they are in this state (just like humans) their body can’t heal or recover properly…and bodily systems such as the digestive system cannot function optimally. Over time this can have hugely detrimental effects on their health! (As well as not being an enjoyable state for them to be in)

Holistic therapies such as reiki and intuitive massage help activate the parasympathetic nervous system which enables your horse to relax - lowering their heart rate, and improving digestion. This is when you start to see changes to their usual anxious state or over-reactivity.

When your horse looks super relaxed/sleepy even after the reiki session has finished this is a good sign that healing and recovery is still taking place as the session enabled them to get into their parasympathetic nervous system.
This is why reiki is so successful in recovery of both physical and emotional illness/ailments and healing the ‘whole’ horse. the effects will then be seen in their behaviour too🐴❤️‍🩹

Well autumn has definitely arrived!
The seasonal change for horses can take affect them in various ways:

Colder mornings mean the need for extra energy usage to keep warm, and stiffer joints and muscles- especially if field time has been reduced.

change in grass sugars can put pressure on the digestive system which means it may not function optimally.

An and session will help support your horse with the seasonal transition and help them feel their best 🤩

A forehead massage is one of the moves in the intuitive routine I use alongside - it is one of the more simpler massage moves, but so effective and horses tend to love it, along with massaging around the poll area - both are great spots for releasing tension and inducing relaxation - as horses can hold a lot of tension in their heads and at the top of their necks, and they get headaches too!

Have you tried giving your horse a little head massage? 💆‍♀️

Whilst away studying doing some fantastic CPD in all the horses I worked with as case studies were very tense, anxious and needed support with grounding and de-stressing. In fact these sessions were probably the most challenging I’ve had of all the horses I’ve worked with over the last 2 years.

But from a challenge there are always lessons! I have been feeling ungrounded and anxious myself lately and so I was drawn to horses who were experiencing similar, and this reminded me to make sure I continually work on grounding myself - it is important for all of us to feel grounded in our bodies, and to try to d-stress as much as possible, but when giving it is SO important.

I learn from every horse I work with, and challenging sessions mean I need to think on my feet to decide which direction to take the session in to ensure I am always doing the best for the horse and remaining calm and centred, and of course safe myself.

There are so many ways for us as humans to ground ourselves including walking in nature, yoga type practises, focussing on your breathing, or simply engaging with your senses by enjoying a hot drink or cold shower!

✨ Bonds so special you can feel how connected their energy is ✨

Recently I’ve worked with a few horses and ponies who have such a strong connection either with their owner and/or with their owner’s other horse/pony (I’ve also seen this between horses and dogs too) that I feel the energy of this so strongly. Often they share so many personality traits and their energy feels so similar and intwined it’s really beautiful to experience when I’m giving

For horses/ponies it often feels like a brotherly or sisterly love - they are so connected but are not related. And for owners and their horses it often makes me giggle at how similar their personality quirks are!

This is why working with all the horses/ponies in the person’s life giving can be so powerful! and also giving to the owner/rider too! a joint horse-owner reiki session can be so powerful and transformative - healing together physically, mentally and emotionally ❤️‍🩹

Send me a msg to see how this could work for you and your horse/pony! or find out more on my website (link in bio).

Most of the horses I’ve treated this week have had their winter coats starting to come through! Which means we’re not far off from autumn! How can reiki help prepare your horse for the change of season?

It can help support their digestion especially if they have struggled a little with the grass lately (colic, loose poos, Lethargic etc), to enable their digestive system to be in a better state to handle the season change. I have treated so many horses recently that needed reiki healing focussed on their gut!

It can also help with allergy symptoms, and behavioural challenges such as anxiety, spookiness 👻 and struggling to relax, as well as mares in season. The list is endless really for both physical and mental support for horses as the season changes, and I can also include massage in the session too!

this lovely boy received a powerful session where he released lots of stuck energy held from trauma from several years ago…he also shared a lot with me about this and also how he’s feeling since he lost his field companion. So lovely to see his progress in so many ways ❤️‍🩹

‘Trauma’ in horses doesn’t have to mean abuse or neglect; like humans, they can hold onto any event/situation that effected them negatively or they found challenging (such as a new home/owner) and can help them release this and find balance and harmony in their body, mind and spirit. Illness and disease can stem from stuck, unprocessed emotions and this is also why it’s so important to address.
