why take this course...
This comprehensive course teaches equine cranisacral therapy techniques to use on the horse. It empowers you to alleviate common equine pain conditions and forge a deeper connection with your horse.
We’ll begin by guiding you through methods for assessing structural issues that can lead to patterns of stress, pain, and a reduction in your horse’s performance and well-being. You’ll gain the ability to identify these problems and start your horse on the path to greater comfort and mobility.
What You'll learn....
The course explores the fascinating world of craniosacral therapy, adapted specifically for horses. While human and equine anatomy differ, this course will guide you through adapting the core concepts and techniques to safely and effectively perform holds on your horse.
You’ll begin by learning about the three fields of the Biodynamic model and how to sense the subtle rhythms of your horse’s body. We’ll then progress to specific cranial bone holds, followed by practicing diaphragm holds and manipulations on the fore and hind limbs.
Throughout this video series, we emphasize exploration, play, and the joy of learning these incredible healing modalities. Our skilled instructor, Judah, will share his insights on blending myofascial and craniosacral techniques, helping you understand when to use each approach and why this combination is so powerful.
Join us in creating a healthier, happier, and more loving world for our horses and ourselves!

I am going to share with you my 35 years of experience as a practitioner and 32 years as a teacher of the healing arts.
I started this journey at the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in Boulder, Colorado. I have studied with the Upledger Institute for Cranial Sacral Therapy, and a two-year program on the Biodynamic approach of cranial sacral therapy the Karuna Institute in Devon, England. I have also participated in numerous continuing education programs to deepen my understanding of approaches to healing and wellness.
I also studied the work of Jack Meagher, who clarified even further the concept of trigger points and muscular dysfunction. Jack was a giant in the field who impacted many equine massage therapists simply because his approach worked so beautifully on releasing muscular dysfunction and restoring normal balance and pain-free movement!
And ten years after that, I incorporated the Biodynamic approach to cranial sacral therapy - a concept which is deeply embedded in our video series.
My last focus was taking care of an Olympian’s five horses. She finished in the 2012 London Olympics in the eventing games, which was quite an honour for her!
