Hi Everyone,
I am new here, and wanted to reply. I have a Equine Massage School in SE Indiana. I also teach Rehab Therapy and Energy Balancing in my classes. My school is pretty much a 'hands on' school-not much sitting in a classroom which you will do at many other schools. I feel that the only way to learn these modalities is to actually do them.
I have been a CESMT for 9yrs, have worked alongside one of the top chiro vets in the country for 11yrs. I have been doing healing touch on people and animals for 7yrs and put all of these to use on the animals I work on.
I have worked on EPM, sway back, arthritic and cold backed horses, and have found therapies that help them to recover from these injuries/diseases. No other School offers Rehab Therapy, which is extremely important in many cases. This class will also teach you "memory release' for those horses with a 'history'.
I have different classes you can chose to take...from a 3 Day Total Hands ON course (equine massage)to a 6 day class which includes Safety, proper riding skills and a more in depth muscle training for those who are new to horses. No other School offers this type of class! My 3 day class has more hands on time than all the 5 day courses! Go to my website and compare them-I have a comparison for you.
You will not find a more affordable School than mine-$100 per day (if you sign up 60days prior, after that it's only $25 more per day)
I am on the IAAMB as a School. So no, I am not a 'fly by night'. I have a business license in the STate of Indiana also.
The 3 Day Class is geared towards the equine owner who only wants to learn it for themselves. No business information or laws are taught in the class-because they are not necessary. I am very detailed in my class, teaching you the proper strokes to use (and making sure you're doing them correctly-which cannot be taught in a dvd)and where to use them, how to find spasms and knots-what they feel like and look like-and how to get rid of them! Let's face it-if you can't find them, you can't get rid of them...and that's my job!
Another part of the class is how to 'eyeball' a horse-looking at the horse as soon as the owner brings it out to see if we can see then what is wrong with it-many times, just the way it stands will tell you what you need to know. This I teach you to do.
Saddle fitting is also taught in the 6 day class, as I feel many times it is the saddle causing the problem.
Please contact me with any questions-I love to talk about horses!
