The absolute best reunion with one of the best horses. MD I didn’t realize how much I missed your presence until I was able to wrap my hands around you after a few years away. You had been in my life for 11 years at Morrisville one of the longest animal relationships I’ve had; you were a constant through that time and a master of your job. I am over the moon you landed with a client and now I can see you all the time. 💕 I’m so happy you still love your Magnawave sessions. I can’t wait to see how you grow into your new home and job. And I am over the moon happy to be able to watch you through it all.

Every once in a while my sessions turn into a family affair. We started with all the dogs and then the humans wanted to join in💕

I’m so proud and honored to have been asked to be a sponsor for the Hudson Valley Dressage Show Series this year.

Good luck to all the riders and to my clients! Have the best time.

Also big shout out to .giuliano ; a friend and my graphic designer for dropping everything the other day to reformat my logo so I could get the banner printed and shipped ASAP.

Once again I am so amazed and grateful for how this business has grown.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This past year has been the absolute best. I cannot believe I opened my own business a year ago already. And now as I’m starting to think of maternity leave I feel that it’s only necessary to share this post.

The past year has been the absolute best work year in my entire life. Becoming my own boss was the best decision for myself and my family. I absolutely love how I get to be Mom and Wife first and foremost. But being my own CEO is also an incredible feeling.

As I wrap up my last trip downstate before the arrival of our baby girl I can’t help but feel this overwhelming amount of gratitude to everyone who has supported me in someway over the last year.

Thank you to all my friends and family for the love and support and childcare over the past year. I truly couldn’t have done it without you all in my corner.

Thank you to all the people who have sent me referrals to get my business going and continue to do so.

Thank you to all my clients who have trusted me with themselves and their animals and continue to have me back.

Thank you to all the Veterinarians who have sent me referrals and cases that I can help assist on.

And on that note even though I’m done traveling downstate; I am still continuing to take local appointments up until little girl decides to come. So to all my local clients if you want any last appointments before I officially go on maternity leave please reach out. I will continue to keep everyone posted on her arrival and when I’m thinking on starting to slowly come back and take appointments again.

Thank you all again💗

Over the past 2 weeks I have dealt with 3 different hoof issues.

1. Was a suspected abscess that the farrier couldn’t find to help dig out. So the trainers had been soaking it for 2 days or so. I had previous plans to come out and do a maintenance MagnaWave session on the horse, after the session was over I did an extra 10 minute session directly on the hoof. The next day the abscess blew.

2. Again I had previously scheduled a maintenance MagnaWave session and when I arrived the owner stated that the horse stepped down on a nail as the farrier was doing his shoes and they had been soaking and treating it in hope the sensitivity would decrease and wouldn’t turn into anything more. Once again after the full body session was completed I did a localized treatment right over the hoof. The next day or so all sensitivity in the hoof and limb was gone and they were back to work.

3. I performed a maintenance treatment on a new client with no evidence of any hoof issues or an abscess brewing. No increased digital pulses. No warmth or heat in the leg or hoof. Worked okay the day after a little lethargic the trainer expressed. (A common symptom after a session) however the following day the horse was lame an non weight bearing. After talking with the owner and trainer I advised it could be an abscess that I was able to start the drawing out process during the Magnawave Session. They started treating it as if it was and brought their veterinarian in to make sure we were in the same page and they agreed with that theory. So they continued to treat the hoof. 6 days later it finally blew out the coronary band and the following day the horse was back to normal and back into work as if nothing had happen. And just in time to head to a show.

Abscesses are inevitable in the equine world ; but happy to have been a part of the healing process of these three cases.

Worked a full day yesterday at two different farms.

I am so happy I can offer both Massage and MagnaWave Packages now to all my clients.

So many are enjoying alternating back and forth between the two for all the different benefits they each can give.

Message me if you would like to see if adding a package to your horses maintenance routine would be beneficial.

Someone thoroughly enjoying his magnawave treatment and the other one trying to steal it.

I am so excited to announce we can now offer Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy or MagnaWave to our clients.

I have been using these products for well over the past decade and have seen the unbelievable things it can do.

Once again like all my services we can utilize it for both performance animals and in rehabilitation cases. And the best part about this product is that with each new machine you have to go through a new recertification; so this will be my 4th time going through their certification program. And let me tell you the research and ways to utilize this machine continues to amaze me.

I will also be able to offer it for
Humans
Horses
Small animals (not just dogs)
and Livestock animals.

“Using PEMF is said to stimulate cell metabolism, increase oxygenation, and reduce inflammation. This action can cause a chain of processes in the body that could lead to improvement of health without adverse side effects.” -MagnaWave

If you are looking for more information on how this can help you or your animals please reach out to me I’d be happy to do a free consultation to see if this modality is right for you and your animal.

This cutie was referred to me by a local veterinarian. We are on Week 3 of treatments and finally today started to see progress.

When dealing with animal injuries new or old, we as practitioners need to look at the whole body before we fully concentrate on the injured area. Animals compensate way more then humans do and so for the last two weeks we were working on calming the rest of the body down which had been so tight, tender and painful.

Today was the first day I could actually feel individual muscles and feel the muscular knots disappear under my fingers.

It was also the first day he actually laid down during his laser treatment. (He is not a fan of the humming noise it makes.)

All in all progress can be slow, but it is still progress. And the evidence is in the owner seeing their dog come back to life like they were prior to the injury. Small victories all around.

Great read on why massage is so important and why everything else should be supplemental for the health and wellbeing of your animals.

I often see people posting about their horse having muscle knots and being muscle sore, talking about having the chiropractor out, Pemf and red light, kt tape, vet’s been out and still the horse is not better, why?

My question is; why are you doing everything you can think of to help your horse feel better EXCEPT the one thing that actually addresses those sore, tight muscles directly?!

Other therapies are NOT stand-ins or substitutes for massage - they do different things for the horse.

Massage is one of, if not the, most effective muscle and myofascial therapies available and it can be customized to meet each horse’s physical needs. Leaving it out of your regular care and exercise routine leaves a huge hole and a missed opportunity.
