I was asked recently if 'I still did that thing?' as I hadn't been posting so much on line.

Hmm. Interesting comment and looking at it, it's been over a year since I posted anything. Not because I havn't had anything interesting to say, but realistically I have not only been really (really) busy but I also wanted to see if my business would be damaged by stepping away from social media.

The good (great) news is that I am still very much working my Bowen and I am treating more and more horses and humans. I have been developing a series of gentle remedial exercises for humans aswell as a protocol for young horses that I will be 'dropping' some time later this year.

So a huge 'Yes' - I am still here and still treating anything with a pulse (horses, humans, hounds, cats, chickens (yes, chickens), donkeys, sheep and cattle have all gone through my books). It is my job, but my main reason for doing it is to help - so it you need me, then just yell. Even if you want to chat about a sore muscle, or are interested in the Youngster Protocol... always happy to help !

At 7:24 on a Sunday evening, I’m just sitting down to dinner and put my feet up after one of the longest weeks.

I’ve seen a steady rise in clients - travelling over 150 miles today to treat 2 lovely horses, and not finishing most nights this week til 9pm - so this week has been my busiest so far.

Very dusty, but I cannot think of a better way to celebrate 10 years of doing a job that I love

I have a new helper !
This little guy just turned up in a yard I was at and kept following me around ! What a cutie

I was caught out recently when someone asked me ‘why would i get you to treat my horse?’ I have thought about that a lot recently and today I understood the answer.

I was asked to treat a 20 year old Arab who had been rescued. ‘Others on the yard had insisted I got X###xx instead’ the owner said - no pressure then !

First thing to say is that I was told ‘his back is out’. It is a common description but rather inaccurate. If a horse’s back was out, it would not be able to weight bear. Mostly what is being observed is atrophy- muscle wastage. That is the domain of Bowen!

This dear soul had its eyes on stalks and was desperate to get out of the stable. He had an unbelievably tight back with significant atrophy, meaning that he walked like his nappy was full. We got him settled and slowly, I managed to very gently unravel his tensions and get him looking much much more comfy. The soft eye and the persistent yawning told me that he was also feeling much more comfortable too - result ! There were no high velocity moves, no cracks or clicks, just very gentle Bowen moves, in the right place and at a pressure that this horse could deal with. He was happy, I was happy and his owner was delighted.

Don’t get me wrong, Every therapy has its benefits - but sometimes, as a therapist, you have to be emotionally intelligent enough to work with the horse and not impose your therapy on it.

Think it’s safe to say that this gorgeous little Shetland, one of my sponsored ponies, absolutely loved his session today! If he could have, I’m sure he’d have climbed onto my lap, curled up and gone to sleep!!

Where has time gone ?! Seemed like yesterday but it was actually 2 weeks ago that I did a talk for the U3A group in Tenbury.

It was all about 'Maintaining Flexibility' and when I was invited, it was pitched as chatting to 'a few' people. The room was packed, they stayed engaged throughout and the feedback has been fabulous !

I introduced some natural remedies that can be very easily made at home, which I will pop up on my web page shortly and if you've been following my FB page, we also went through some of the basic 'kettle' exercises !

If you or your organisation (WI / U3A etc) group would like me to come and talk to you - it takes around an hour depending on questions, but please get in touch ! Happy to help

A body is a body
They come in all shapes and sizes for treatment - this absolutely delightful triplet had been jumped on by his sisters……

Update, from a delighted owner
'Thank you so much for sorting 'Curly' out - he is putting more weight on his leg already'.
Just adding 'week old lamb' to the long list of things 'with a pulse' that I've helped !! I have to say, he very nearly stayed with me, he was so very cute !!!
