What I do……. With nearly 40 years horse experience in many disiplines, though many parts of the world I have seen the many good and bad things horses manage to cope with one way or another. “Helping Horses and Humans Understand each other” is my motto and as my knowledge and experience has grown I am able to tune in with the horse and often help explain to him just what these humans are expecting..thru training methods that firstly make sense to the horse, and then explaining them to their humans as well. I use the body work – Bowen and energy work and intuitivly working with what the horse needs. Having a good knowledge of hoof balance, overall body balance, nutrition, teeth and saddle/equipment issues I can then refer on as may be needed. I will also bring in other therapists, homeopathy, bach flowers, cranial sacral, etc if needed to give a holistic approach to helping horses have the best life possible.

Qualifications: Equine Craniosacral Therapist – Trained with Maureen Rogers Equine Touch – Levels 1 & 2 (still in training) EAGALA – Horse Specialist level 1 & 2 (doing the training next week) (Editor: January 2013))
About Elisha: I have had a love for horses and animals my whole life. Never did I think I would be blessed enough to work with them as a job. I enjoy taking on Thoroughbreds off the track and retraining them to everyday riding horses, I found most of them had body issues from racing and decided I wanted to train in a therapy so I could treat them myself. I started off with an Equine Touch course and after that I was hooked. Went on to train with Maureen Rogers in Craniosacral Therapy which I think is just an amazing therapy with fantastic results, and in the meantime have done another Equine Touch level. I still love seeing the results after I have treated horses. I am continuing to train and increase my knowledge base. I am also the volunteer Coordinator at the Riding for Disabled in Tauranga. Our hard working horses get treated frequently, which is such a pleasure as they give so much to their riders, so its important to keep them happy and healthy.
Equine Breathing World wide

Equine Breathing is a new holistic method that enables horse owners to help their horse recover from chronic ailments (such as Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disease, COPD where the horse has difficulty breathing) and behavioural problems (such as headshaking), and to increase fitness and performance. Anyone can do Equine Breathing using free instructions available on Clare’s website above. It is soothing and relaxing and horses enjoy it.
If a horse has a chronic ailment or behavioural problem, then it will be over breathing (breathing too big a volume of air). Over breathing has a direct and damaging effect on the physiology and can therefore eventually manifest in symptoms.
Equine Breathing is not a veterinary technique or even a therapy, it is simply a training method that owners can use to bring their horse’s breathing back towards normal. As the horse’s breathing improves, the physiology recovers and symptoms reduce.

Email info@energyworksnz.co.nz
Mobile: 021 1254268 ( NZ) 64-21-1254268 (International)
Qualifications & Modalities: Reiki Practitioner, Magnetic Healing Practitioner, Bach Flower Essences Practitioner, Remote Emotional Release Therapist, Developer and Manufacturer of our own nature Healing range of products under the Synergens label.
About Jeanne: I grew up with the love of horses, and found a natural connection and affinity with them. Career and family took me away from the horse world for a number of years until I become ill myself, and discovered the links between our emotions and environment on our health. I learnt through Magnetic Healing about energy and our auric field -, and moved onto Reiki for Equine and Animals, plus people. I loved working with energy and l started working with flower essences too Through my own health issues I learnt about the link between our health and cellular memory. Over time I developed this into my own ‘modality’ of connecting to an animal or person remotely and ‘talking’ with their cell memory and body. I have worked successfully with this within NZ and also overseas as location is no issue.
I have been successful in working with physical issues from abscess’s, cancer, joint and muscle issues, tmj, horses with trauma, pain, back problems, ‘hard to fix’ problems etc, as well as behavioural issues, new or long standing.
I see the ‘bigger’ picture from horses, their ideas of death and life, their connection to this earth and to the people on it. I am privileged by the way I work to feel the unconditional love that they carry in their hearts, and endeavour to assist their people to understand them better on a much deeper and profound level.
I have written various articles in the NZ Equine magazine, in an on line Spiritual magazine under Animal Healing, spoken at the SPCA Cat Rescue Division, and also other groups as well.
I am happy to talk with one on one, small numbers or groups of people on animal healing and what they can do to work better with their own animals.

About Lea and Smart Bowen: We run a training college that is nationally accredited in Bowen Therapy, providing human, equine and small animal programs. Brian Smart my husband and I own and operate the college and engage instructors in various locations to facilitate the training along with ourselves. I started life as a horse owner, and learned over time that I neither owned the horse nor did they own me, it was a relationship of mutual acceptance and companionship. However, as I had provided my companion with a lifestyle extraordinary to that which they had naturally evolved in, it was up to me to make sure that in every quarter that I gave them the best of what they required to function and live optimally. My journey began as an Animal Technician, which later evolved into a Senior Veterinary Nurse, and to this I added Veterinary Homeopathy, Bowen Therapy, Red Light Therapy, Tissue Salts and so much more. I am currently completing an Adv. Dip in Naturopathy/Herbal Medicine, and studying at the same time Equine Herbal Medicine….the journey never really ends! With formal backgrounds in science I pertain to look outwardly at nature for the answers to health where possible and practical.
We are passionate about : Equine welfare and health. For me the health of the horse begins in the home, meaning that the people who chose to have horse/s as their animal companions become responsible for the health and welfare of that horse or horses on every level. Being able to provide mental, emotional and physical wellbeing to their animal companions is paramount in the relationship between animal and man, especially when they take them from their natural environment and place them in domesticity. We teach people how to maintain their own horses by using Bowen Therapy, but as a qualified therapist, my role is about educating people how to provide this on many levels.

Email: pc_reiki@hotmail.com
Phone: from within NZ 0923-34018 mobile 021-1870935
Modality – Reiki
Qualification – Reiki Master-Teacher (2001)
About me: I initially found/learnt Reiki in my search to provide a natural alternative (drug-free) to care for my then 19-year old ex racehorse who was becoming stiff and sore.. with great success. I offer treatments to people and to animals.
Horses and their riders have a close bond and Reiki to both rider and horse together can achieve wonderful results.
I offer Reiki training classes regularly. Reiki can be learned by anybody who is open to and interested in passing on/channelling healing energy to self and others. The ability to channel Reiki is like an “installation” which is passed from Teacher to Student, and from the moment the “installation” or “reawakening” is done, the recipient has the ability to channel Reiki energy from that moment on, 24/7, for life. Reiki enables us to naturally achieve healthier, happier, longer lives.
For Reiki students interested in working with horses I have a Reiki for Horses/Animals specific course practitioners with Level One Reiki or higher.
