Wellness Clinic Schedule Saturday June 1st 9am – 9: 15am - Introduction - Patricia Clark, Founder 9:15am – 10:30am - Amber Vandereay - Reiki 10:30 - 12:pm – Nancy Haller - Feldenkrais Practitioner The Feldenkrais Method® enhances the rider’s ability to perform the movement patterns developed by Sally Swift. "The inability to move a horse in a specific pattern may be caused by the rider not having the pattern in their body. Riders subtly shifting their body by mere grams of pressure or millimeters of movement gives the horse instructions to perform. Even a small asymmetry in the rider will inhibit the ability of the horse. Discovering freedom from small restrictions increases the balance and counter-balance mirroring effect necessary for both rider and horse whether in pleasure riding or high level competition." 1pm – 2:15pm – Sue Willoughby - Structural Integration Sue is a Equine Natural Movement Series practitioners using her hands and their hearts to deliver a series of Structural Integration (SI) sessions that help return the horse’s body to its ideal balanced state. These sessions restructure and realign the body so the horse regains flexibility, fluidly and ease of movement. 2:30pm – 4pm- Dr. Randy Baze – Chiropractic Sunday - June 2nd 9am – 12pm Polly Klein of Tonglen Healing Arts – Animal Communicator If you are scheduling a session with Polly Klein, the fee will be paid directly to Polly.
