Good morning! It's been a while.

Friendly reminder 💛

Equine & Canine massage appointments are scheduled wellness services and are not considered emergency care. If you are experiencing sudden lameness, colic symptoms, acute injury or any urgent medical concern, please contact your vet.

I do understand that veterinarians in our area are so busy and that it is hard to get them out. Trust me! I had my experience not too long ago and even had to send my horse to MSU for 19 days because I could not get anyone out sooner (I contacted 5 different vet clinics).
I care deeply about every animal I work with and will always do my best to respond as soon as possible (there are no business hours for me as I have been working looooooong hours to get everyone in, but i love it). Thank you for your understanding and respecting healthy boundaries for both my clients and myself and family.

I am booked for all of June into the first week of July. Contact me soon to get on the books.

Best regards!

A friend also shared this. I thought it was very fitting.
This is a whole other level. There are some days I have no explanation. I am so amazed and feel blessed I am able to communicate in this way. It's a blend of intuition and instincts.
I have some amazing stories to share someday.

What happens when we stop assuming animals should obey us?
(Short answer: a lot more magic than chaos.)

For generations, the story was simple:
Animals listen, humans lead.
That was the rule.
Or at least… the expectation.

But more and more, people are starting to question that old script.
Not because they’ve gone “soft,”
but because they’ve noticed something honest:

Obedience is not the same as trust.
Compliance is not the same as connection.
And an animal doing what they’re told isn’t the same as an animal who wants to be with you.

So what actually happens when we let go of the idea that animals exist to follow orders?

You start to see their personalities.
Their opinions.
Their sense of humor.
Their boundaries.
Their brilliance.

A horse who used to shut down when pressured begins to show curiosity.
A dog who was always scolded for “disobedience” suddenly feels safe enough to learn.
A cat who seemed aloof reveals they’re actually sensitive — just tired of being misunderstood.

When we stop demanding obedience,
we make room for relationship.

And here’s the part most people don’t expect:
Animals become more willing, not less.
Because now the pressure is gone.
The fear is gone.
The tightness in their body is gone.
And what’s left is real partnership — the kind you can’t force even if you tried.

Dropping outdated norms doesn’t make animals wild or unruly.
It makes them authentic.
It makes them expressive.
It makes them feel like participants instead of possessions.

And honestly?
It makes us better, too.

So the next time an animal doesn’t “obey,”
try swapping the thought “they won’t listen”
for the question,
“What are they telling me?”

You might just discover a whole new world hiding in their “no.”

What you are observing in this video is some fasciculations which are small involuntary, rapid muscle fibers twitching. It is a common sign that the tissue is releasing tension or nerve endings are responding to bodywork treatment.

While on the topic of feeling, whenever I touch an animal, I observe any reactions, and notice whether certain areas feel hotter, colder, swollen, or dry. Colder areas may indicate disturbed circulation or a break in the circulation of energy. Warmer and swollen areas are signs if local inflammation. Warmer areas with no swelling could indicate an issue related to overstressing: it is trying to compensate for a loss of mobility or circulation of fluids in another area. It's a good idea to get in a habit of learning how to feel your animal and pay attention to these areas. It could be a great tool to add in ownership as it could prevent injuries, infections, circulation issues, hidden pain from going unnoticed as this can be early warning signs that something is wrong. Start daily and note your observations on what and where you're feeling!! Also, there is a huge difference in petting vs feeling.

Hey everyone-- I wanted to share a quick update.

Due to an unexpected financial situation, I'll be temporarily reducing my availability for bodywork sessions This isn't a decision I take lightly, but it is necessary for me to focus on stabilizing things on my end.

I am still taking a limited number of sessions, so if you have been meaning to book, now would be a good time to reach out. Your continued support truly means a lot right now.

Thank you for understanding and being part of my community.
