We don’t deserve horses.
Some of the toughest creatures on the planet who, if we’re lucky, pour their whole soul into us. Give us their all. Even if it hurts or is sore, they don’t feel like themselves or have the energy. They show up. My goal in bodywork is to show up for them the way they do us. To show up tired, early, late, sore, or not my best. Because by the time I’m done I feel like myself again. I feel healed by healing them. My goal is to see the things you don’t usually notice or feel the things you don’t usually feel. So I can get to the root and work each bit that I can. That’s how I know I’ve done my job. I’ve released tension, trauma, pain, or a spot they physically can’t get to.
Bodywork, massage therapy, physical therapy is a marathon. Not a sprint. It takes time. It’s a slow burn. It’s the same as training a horse. I’m training their bodies to feel a different way, to relax and retrain their muscles and sensors to not be in a state of flight or fight and to check in with themselves in a way that can be overwhelming or hard to be vulnerable.
No matter what it is. How it feels. We take it together. If they are excelling and performing at their best, then so am I.
