Animal Sessions

Visionary Craniosacral Work deeply unwinds the energetic holding patterns in fascia or connective tissue, muscle, bones , organs, and central nervous system to get the energy centers and meridian cleared and flowing. When energetic space is created in the body, bones self-adjust and all comes into structural alignment. This shift occurs structurally and energetically throughout the body whether working on site or remotely.

If working in conjunction with chiropractic, Craniosacral Work will free surrounding soft tissue and allow the chiropractic work to move bone more easily and hold longer. Even though this work blends beautifully with other energy medicine modalities such as acupuncture, it is not always necessary to seek additional work.

This work does not replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment. I encourage you to seek your veterinarian’s advice.

I work directly and with the support of the veterinary community. This work is intended to complement veterinary healing.

There are however times when it is difficult to diagnose or treat an injury and illness, and visionary craniosacral work can be a powerful adjunct to sensing and healing these challenging situations.

There are also instances when Visionary Craniosacral Work will uncover an underlying cause such as an emotional trauma or toxicity; in conjunction with veterinary treatment for the apparent problem, deeper healing can occur when otherwise a condition might at best be managed.

The number and frequency of sessions depends on several factors: the nature and longevity of the trauma, behavior or disease, and the innate healing mechanism of the animal. It is not uncommon to see dramatic shifts in one session and many times that is all that is needed. Two or three sessions may be needed to unwind and release fully the holding patterns when there are several layers involved. With some chronic conditions, such as seizures or cancer, repeated sessions may be what is required.

This work is very integrative, addressing the emotional, behavioral and spiritual, and all aspects of the physical body creating optimal space for sessions to heal deeply and quickly and hold.

It is imperative that your horse is not ridden for at least 24 hours after the session. This time period is required for the work to fully integrate and allow old patterns to be replaced by new optimal and free movement. This holds true even for the most sensitive of riders. I recommend that a horse that is going into a competition a session if scheduled a minimum of 5 days from the time of a session to the event, though the horse may be ridden after 24 hours. It is always optimal for the horse to have freedom to move on its own after a session and the nature of this can be discussed on an individual basis.

You will see noticeable responses and changes in your horse during a single session. Signs of a horse releasing during a session may be licking and chewing, yawning, softening of the eyes and ears, twitching of muscles, subtle unwinding of the neck, among others. I work with your horses own healing mechanism, listening for areas of restriction deep in the bones, connective tissue and the central nervous system. There is no manipulation of any bones, though it is not uncommon for horses to self-adjust as the surrounding tissues soften. Individual conditions, both physical and behavioral, are addressed holistically in each hour and a half session. The horse will be balanced physically and energetically after a session, with relaxation and greater freedom of movement.

Dogs, cats and other small animals find a comfortable place to settle and tune into the session, often falling asleep. However, this sleep state is a very deep healing place. At the close of the session they may feel more playful and move with greater freedom, as they are returned to wholeness and healing, or they may need to find a quiet place to be alone and process. Healing continues to take place over the next 24 hours.
