I am a Human & Equine Therapist, working with both people and horses across Devon & North Cornwall, offering Bowen, Sports & Laser Therapy together with running an Equine Retreat & Natural Track Livery facility.

​

The SW Equine Retreat is a natural track livery situated in West Devon and has great access to the A30 between Okehampton & Launceston.

​

A holistic space for horses near or far to board short or longer term to rest, repair and reboot; whether the horses are in need of a therapeutic holiday (maybe whilst you are on holiday), injured - requiring intensive treatment, rebalancing their energy & well-being or needing a retirement home or turn away livery.

​

A small, friendly retreat with spaces for a small number of horses at any one time to ensure a very high standard of professional care. The set-up is designed for ‪24/7‬, 365 days turn-out from an accessible barn space to adjoining all-weather yards, leading onto a track system with natural hedging. The system has an adaptable provision allowing horses to be separated via a friendly divide, should they be visiting short term or requiring specific rehabilitation from injury, whilst continuing to allow horse to horse interaction at all times. Chemical free bio-diverse meadow hay produced on-site is made available ad-lib and placed to encourage movement & natural foraging behaviours.

​

I work with horses in a way which tunes into their natural sensitivity and respects both their mental and physical well-being. I have worked with horses for several years and I have a particular interest in horsemanship training, focusing on postural balance, which compliments treatments to encourage re-balance, healing and the prevention of injuries.

​

All livery packages are competitively priced and all-inclusive of individual treatment programmes, such as daily/intensive low level laser treatments in cases of wounds, ligament, tendon, bone or muscle damage, fractures, post operative healing or foot abscesses. All horses receive regular fascial release body work to aid in the recovery & prevention of injury and lameness, resetting of the body systems and rebalancing of postural alignment. I also work with horses facilitating healing to restore the natural flow of subtle energy throughout their bodies, which naturally aids pain relief, the release of trauma, bringing balance both mentally and physically. The nature of the facility would align well for those cases requiring sensitive metabolic management and for barefoot & transitioning barefoot equines.

​

I work closely with vets, farriers/podiatrists and other supporting professionals to provide tailored care and adapt the setting to individual needs where required. All treatments will be continued to be carried out with prior veterinary consent. I am fully insured and work holistically with equine well-being first in mind.

​

I live on-site, so all horses are always closely monitored with lots of handling and interaction.

​

If you would like to learn more about what I do, please contact me anytime to discuss. I love to meet new people and horses alike and I will always be looking forward to hearing from you.
