Gentle Persuasions Equine & Canine Bodyworker

Do dogs enjoy laser? Just ask Jack Russell Flora. She is in the zone! So still and quiet.

Sadie chillin' during her massage and laser session. Sweet girl!

Ote donkey's hock sore progression. After 5 laser sessions, it is almost closed up. We will leave it now to continue healing on it's own.

Does laser work? Yes! Ote donkey had a wound above his hock that originated from fly bites in the early summer. It would not heal and kept producing proud flesh around the edges (caregivers have been treating it since July), so with vet approval we tried laser on it. I used both red light and blue light therapy. What a difference after 3 sessions!

Working on a spasm with laser - watch carefully and you will see the muscles twitch enough to bounce the laser unit.

Forty-seven year old Sheyore enjoying some new techniques we learned at our advanced course. She's normally a grumpy old lady, but melted with this bodywork.

So...since getting my laser unit, it's opened up a whole bunch of new learning and studying for me, and I am loving it! This is what my kitchen typically looks like now. Within the next month or so, I'll be offering laserpuncture.

Well, what a week! After waiting over 3 years for it to come here, I finally did my Five Day Advanced Masterson Method equine hands-on course!! So many exciting new techniques with big results! Can't wait to get out there and work with your horses. Big thank you to all the barns who opened up their facilities and let us work with their horses, who were fantastic teachers for all the students - Maplewood Farms, Maple Crescent Farm, Ste. Anne's Stables, Cold Spring Farm, and Edenwood Farms.

I think Aero enjoys his massages - lol

The power of body work. These pictures of Sheyore show the difference body work can make. She is well into her 40's, and receives regular chiropractic, massage and laser, along with lots of love and attention from the volunteers. Top picture is from Sept 2018, bottom picture June 2020. Look at her back!!

Flora during her massage yesterday. Very Zen and quiet...

Sadie enjoying her first massage today. She is so sweet!
