Bodywork in the company of horses

A two hour table based bodywork session with a practitioner while horses are present. Choose one session or a series of three, without any riding.

What the session is

Healing with Horses is a bodywork session, not a riding lesson. You lie on a massage table while a practitioner works with you, and horses are present nearby during the time. Each session lasts two hours and can include various modalities chosen by the practitioner.

Sadie describes this work as inspired by her connection with animals and with nature. If that feeling resonates with you, it is a good reason to explore the session. Describe what draws you in your own words, whether that is quiet time outdoors, curiosity about being near horses, or simply wanting bodywork in a different setting.

One session or three

A single session is two hours and is listed at $325. It suits a first visit, a one time gift to yourself, or a way to learn how the experience feels before deciding on anything longer.

The series is three sessions of two hours each, listed at $925 in total. It suits people who already know they want to return, or who like the idea of a rhythm across several visits. When you ask about the series, mention how often you would hope to come and which days usually work, so timing can be discussed together. Scheduling and series terms are confirmed with you before anything is arranged.

Comfort on the table

Because the session takes place on a massage table, think about the same comfort questions you would raise before any bodywork. Share pressure preferences and any areas you would rather avoid. If you are pregnant, recovering from an injury, or have a health concern, mention it when you ask so suitability can be talked through first.

Some people feel at ease around large animals and others feel unsure. Either is fine to say. Letting Sadie know how you feel about horses helps the conversation start in the right place.

Different from riding

If you have ridden before, that background is welcome but it describes a different activity. Here the horses share the space while you receive bodywork. If your main interest is riding or training, this is probably not the right fit, and it is better to know that early.

Questions worth asking

Where does the session take place? What should I wear and bring? How close are the horses during the session? What happens if I feel nervous? Which modalities might be included for me? Choose the questions that matter to you rather than working through every one.

A helpful first note

"I would like a single two hour session with horses present. I have not spent much time around horses, I prefer medium pressure, and weekday afternoons are easiest." A short note like this gives Sadie enough to reply thoughtfully. Request a time for one session or the series of three, and the details will be confirmed with you.
