    Hi,

    I am a newly qualified equine shiatsu practicioner and I am doing a study on grief & loss in horses as part of my qualification. I need some help please finding my last few willing participants.

    The aim of the project is to take a small group for horses that have suffered grief/loss and to see if there are any common threads or issuse with the group either physically or emotionally and of course treat any problems they have.

    I have identified some horses but am still looking for a few more. The types of horses that I am interested in finding are mares that have lost foals this year, young horses that lost their mothers while still at foot, horses that have lost their long time friend/companion.

    I am based in Co Kildare but can travel. I would need a minimum of two sessions with the horse.

    Any help or ideas how to complete my group would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    For anyone not familiar with Equine Shiatsu, this may help:


    "Shiatsu is a comprehensive system of natural therapy using the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Equine Shiatsu has been born using knowledge of Shiatsu on humans and the age-old practice of acupuncture on horses.

    It works by using insight into the root of a problem rather than treating the symptoms. By regulating Qi (energy) in the channels or meridians that flow around the body, we can create harmony and balance, restoring a feeling of well being and vitality.

    It is a sound, sensible therapy, not a luxury treatment, which uses gentle rotations on limbs, stretches and pressure on powerful points on these meridians. As a healing art it has been around for thousands of years and is a similar therapy to acupuncture."     Jill Blake
