It has been so fun introducing nerve release to all my patient’s! We have seen very cool changes including one patient stopped cribbing after bodywork, where usually she goes to crib right away, less negatively angled spines, and hollow sunken in spots above the eyes releasing and filling in!

I’m excited to introduce Samantha Caplan, who will be able to take those who want to continue nerve release on their horse’s while I’m on maternity leave. She will be traveling here from Arizona every other month throughout the summer. Samantha has worked on my own horse before I started doing this and several of my patient’s already before I started this and am confident in her skills and ability to work with any type of horse!
Please reach out to me or Samantha directly if you’re interested in her coming while I am out, as we will be working on her summer schedule soon! ☺️
Here is her website with more information as well!

Restoring your horse, restoring your relationship.

The United States are the only country where I've ever seen joint injections being sold to horse owners as "maintenance". When I ask horse owners if they go to an annual visit with their primary care physician and have all of their joints injected they typically say "of course not", but why do they think it needs to be done on their horses?

Joint injections with cortisone are a common method for pain relief in osteoarthritis, but they should be considered critically, as repeated or high-dose applications can cause cartilage and bone damage, tendon shortening or rupture, and an increased risk of infection, making the long-term consequences riskier; therefore, they are often used for a limited time and with caution.

Risks and critical thoughts:

Cartilage and bone damage: Repeated injections can promote cartilage breakdown and even accelerated joint degeneration, especially in joints that are under more pressure.

Tendon and ligament degeneration: Cortisone can weaken tendons and ligaments, increasing the risk of tears (never have I seen that many suspensory injuries anywhere else!).

Slowed healing: Inflammation is important for healing; cortisone interrupts this process and can delay healing.

Side effects at the injection site: Skin discoloration and infections are possible, but infections are rare.

Systemic effects: In metabolic horses blood sugar levels may rise; ACTH levels in cushings horses rise, increased appetite and weight gain are possible.

In humans steroid injections have found to be the cause of Rapid Destructive Hip Disease. Injections in horses are a huge money making factor, so there aren't pharmaceutical companies who are willing to invest money into studies that prove this "maintenance" causes more harm than good.

Regular bodywork that strengthens the musculoskeletal frame and breaks up compensation patterns is the only thing that should be called "maintenance".

There is a reason behind most every behavior, and you have every right to do your best to figure out what it is.✨

Day 1 of introducing nerve release to my patients! These 2 mares took to it right away, and of course their dog brother got some work done too!

As most of my client’s know, and for those that don’t, I am pregnant again and most likely will stop taking patient’s mid May. Stay tuned for updates and I will introduce who will be filling in for me for those who want to continue with their schedule! Please reach out with any questions! ☺️

Happy New Year to all of my clients! This year I worked on 500 patient’s, taught 2 equine massage certification courses, attended serveral eductional clinics, continued running my own small barn at home, raised a toddler, and most exciting of all, I got certified as a Lazaris Nerve Release Practitioner!
Just a reminder starting in the new year there is a change in pricing. Please see Equitouchbodywork.com for the changes! Nerve release will also be added into all sessions, making them longer and rather different than how they currently are run. Please reach out with any questions! I currently am not accepting new equine patient’s at this time.
Stay tuned for some more updates for 2026!

I’m so excited to announce that I have become a certified Lazaris Nerve Release Practitioner! I have learned so much over the last 9 months. Celeste-Leilani Lazaris and Katherine Lowry are excellent, supportive instructors who spend so much time with you throughout the process! I have taken many bodywork classes over the years, and this is one of my favorite ones, and cannot wait to start to incorporate this work into all my patients.
Thank you to my mom who did extra babysitting so I could take this class, and to my dad who videoed every zoom and case study for me.
Clients, bodywork sessions will be a bit different now, as will be doing this on every patient. Sessions will be longer especially at first. Due to the extra time sessions will be and for my continued education, in offering more for each patient, there has been an increase in pricing. Please visit equitouchbodywork.com to view the changes. These changes go into effect January 1st!
As of now I am not taking new equine clients, but I do have a wait list for the future 😊
