Before and after craniosacral therapy

Joey Philips

Joey started her practice in the fall of 2010. Through the years she learned different modalities which complement Cranio Sacral treatment. With CS, iridology, kinesiology and nutrition she provides a holistic approach for the horse.
She has become specialised in treating horses with skull compression. Many of these horses suffer from headshaking or other problems like airway obstructions. CS therapy is possibly the best way to treat these issues. Apart from all the physical problems horses endure, she also works with the Trust Technique addressing trauma and stress in horses and companion animals. Working with the Trust Technique creates an awareness of how deep seated these mental traumas can be. Animals often react to their owners and vice versa, and by teaching owners to become present with their animals a peaceful environment is created and many behavioral issues resolve.

ECS1 – 4 days

In  this workshop you will be introduced to Craniosacral anatomy, and continue how to assess, approach and work with horses.

In these 4 days you will learn

  •  A foundational beginning into this work.
  • An effective basic protocol to work with
  • Understanding of the do’s and dont’s within Equine Craniosacral
  • Relationship building with horses and owners

Who is the workshop for?

I was not an Equine therapist when I started on my Craniosacral journey 14 years ago. However I had always a been fanatic horse lover and had the intent on making things better for equines. So to answer the question, this course is suitable for starting therapists, but it is also a wonderful course for professionals in the field. Craniosacral is a huge addition to equine bodyworkers; when you start to experience craniosacral, you might come to the conclusion that it is possibly the most gentle and effective way to treat a horse. For all students I require basic anatomy knowledge. If you are still unsure if this course is for you, you may chat to me personally.
