During your horse’s Equine Acupressure session Saskia will first assess your horse guided by The 4 Examinations and an evaluation of Association and Alarm Points to identify patterns and discern how well he/she is functioning within his/her environment.  Based on this assessment and theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine an Equine Acupressure Session Plan is developed to help your horse feel and preform at their best. Equine Acupressure has been used as a non-invasive, gentle yet profoundly powerful modality for the benefit and well-being of horses for thousands of years. The purpose of Chinese Medicine is always focused on health and to help the body adapt to the constant environmental and internal changes. Equine Acupressure can help the body to relieve muscle spasms, build the immune system, strengthen muscles, tendons, joints and bones, balance energy to optimize the body’s natural ability to heal, relieve endorphins necessary to increase energy or relief pain, enhance mental clarity and calm required for focus in training and resolve injuries more readily by increasing blood supply and removing toxins. Each horse owner is left with an individualized program of several Acupressure Points and a home-care protocol that is specific to the needs of each individual horse, empowering the owner to keep working on the horse’s healing at home and comes with access to the Inhand app. For sessions that require Saskia to travel with an overnight stay, the fee will be $90.00 per session. Travel, accommodation and food expenses are additional; the cost of which will be split between participants. Packages of 3 sessions, also in combination with Masterson Method Sessions Saskia offers are availabe. These must be used within a 6-week time period and prepaid at the time of the first session.
