Sometimes I think that life is a series of perfect storms. When you're young, and you look ahead, you think it's going to go a certain way. When you are older, and you look back, you see that life is the confluence of circumstances and events, a journey of sorts with stops along the way. Unexpected. My journey to what I now consider my life's work began with the ending of a job, a severance package, a horse with physical issues, and the need to find other work. My partner at the time suggested that I find some way of making money at the barn, because that's where I spent all my time anyway. So I took some of my severance pay and found the closest Equine Sports Massage certification course (which happened to be thirty miles up the road). A flyer in the local tack store got me my first horse to massage, and from there it just kept happening- purchasing a laser, having E-stim equipment gifted to me, more trainings, more equipment, the journey kept evolving and leading me to now, here. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be doing the healing work I am doing now, with animals, some famous, some beloved family members, some my own.
The laser (Pegasus Class IV laser) came to me through a colleague, a woman who works with the United States Equestrian Team jumpers. Those are the horses that go to the Olympics and World Cup. I have a few of those in my own client base now. I took her word on this machine, and her generosity in loaning me hers for a month showed me the tip of the iceberg of what this device could do. The first time I used it, I was treating a horse who had chronic swelling in a joint in the front leg, the fetlock joint above the hoof. This is the equivalent of our ankle. The horse had been "off", unable to be ridden, for several months, and this injury was not resolving. So when my client decided to let me laser her horse, I had no idea what to expect. I lasered this joint, and then went to work on another horse for an hour or so. When I went back to check on the horse I had lasered, the swelling in the joint had gone down by about half of what it had been. I quite honestly couldn't believe my eyes, so I called my friend and told her what had happened, but expressed that I thought I was seeing things. She laughed, and said (and I remember her words to this day, almost ten years later), "No, you are not seeing things, it's for real. But you can't really tell people because they won't believe you!" Well, that was the first one, the first of so many such stories. So when people come to me feeling hopeless about things, about injuries, or unresolved issues in their animals, I feel hopeful, because I have seen miracles, everyday miracles like this. So to me, things that seemed impossible before, are not now.
My last Rhodesian Ridgeback, who was my first Rhodesian Ridgeback, Lily, had terrible seasonal allergies. I had found healing from debilitating illness in my own life using integrative medicine, Acupuncture, and something called Bioresonance therapy. My same colleague, the one with the laser, had a Bioresonance device that she was using on horses, the Bicom machine out of Germany. We were at a horse show together, down in Albuquerque, and she had her machine out working on horses, and I told her about my dog's allergies. She offered to treat her. So I brought Lily into the stall where she was working and we hooked her up to the machine using the electrode pads, and we treated her. The next day I noticed that she seemed markedly better, was not as itchy, and had more energy. It was then and there that I knew that I had to have this machine. A few years later, I discovered a vet in Boulder who was using the same device in her practice. So I took Lily in to her, and through the course of three or four treatments, my dog was so much better that she had the best summer of her life, not itchy, not constantly miserable. And when Lily was nearing the end of her life, this device helped her to have a good last week, and then when it was time, it was time. So this is how I came to do this work, with my own Bicom optima Bioresonance device. In the 2+ years that I have been working with this, I have seen more miracles happen. As with everything, one therapy is not the answer to every problem or issue or ailment- some things respond better than others, and all animals respond in their own, unique way. But I have been blessed to see the relief of suffering in many of those around me who have chosen to try this wonderful offering.
How truly blessed I am to have found, through some trials and challenges in my life and the lives of a few of my own beloved animals, these marvelous tools of healing and health. I have so many stories, too many for now. I look forward to sharing more in the future. Life is a journey, a series of perfect storms that bring you to each new moment, unexpected, unique, and full. I am here now, and that is the gift.
