WHAT IS NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP?
Natural Horsemanship is a system of philosophical thought where a person working with horses uses the knowledge of the horse’s natural instincts and methods of communication, with the understanding that horses do not learn through fear or pain, but rather from pressure and the release of pressure. People working with horses in this manner focus on the relationship, communicating in the horse's language, leadership, and through mutual respect. This method is applicable to all disciplines, ages, and breeds.

WHAT IS A MEDITATION/COMMUNICATION SESSION
Meditation is a method where one trains the mind to a deep mode of consciousness. In these sessions the practitioner connects in a deep level with the person or animal for a specific amount of time. They work with consciousness and energy. These sessions are extremely relaxing and revealing.
What is A video Lesson and coaching Session?
Equestrian assistance is available for everyone even if you live far away! We offer video coaching for our distance clients. All you need to do is video tape your session (10 min video max) and send me your YouTube link. We review the session and provide detailed feedback, suggestions, and homework for your next session via email. Alternatively, you can schedule a video/chat meeting to review the content with feedback. The last option is email consultation with no video review. It should be noted that video consultation is recommended.
Best practices when filming include:
Your video does not have to be exactly 10 minutes but should be no longer. In that length of time, issues can be easily identified. You do not have to be perfect. This is an assessment modality. Be honest and pretend the camera isn't watching you. Above all, enjoy the experience and know you are heading in the right direction.
Best practices when filming include:
- Use a tripod to secure your camera and allow for a clear video with no shaking.
- Be sure to check through your lens to determine where the camera is able to record. You may want to put markers in your space to ensure you stay within these parameters. Cones or sports markers work well.

What is distance Reiki? (in brief)
Distance Reiki and distance attunements are used when the practitioner and the receiver are unable to be in the same physical place. These sessions can be used to address healing the past, manifesting the future, and addressing the present time. There are a few methods to perform distance Reiki. When Michelle perform distance Reiki, she uses a photograph of the person or animal who is in need of Reiki as a place to channel intention. She consults with the client and discusses what the desired outcome or issues are so that not only
can she give an overall healing but focus on trouble spots. However, she is often drawn to issues without ever being told and have had many reports of sensations and energy pulses in all the right places, and healing without the benefit of much information.
Reiki is energy and can travel much like radio waves (for lack of an easier explanation). She has been trained to facilitate this healing energy by empowering Reiki Symbols and energy, using meditation and intention. Please ask questions if you have them!

What is photonic red light therapy?
Red Light Light Therapy has the ability to address physiological, mental, and emotional issues. Healthy cells vibrate at about 660
nanometers. When tissue sustains injury or illness the vibration level in the affected cells goes down. Increasing the vibration level in the cell
with the Photonic Red Light is like jump starting a dead car battery; it accelerates the mitochondria within the cell, which increases ATP
production. ATP sends signals to the brain so the brain releases endorphins, anti-inflammatories, serotonin, and more.
It has been found, and proven, that the light stimulates the mitochondria within the cell which increases ATP production. Increased ATP
production allows damaged cells to accept nutrients more quickly and to eliminate toxins. If administered quickly enough, it can prevent
cellular death. This process allows the body to heal itself by reducing/eliminating pain and inflammation, while increasing circulation. It also
excites the collagen within the damaged tissue, and allows the body to heal itself faster.
For optimal results, we recommend red lighting acupoints every other day for two weeks, then twice a week. If it involves a virus, we recommend red lighting twice a day until symptoms disappear. For all other issues, you can use it as often as necessary.
We use two different red lights depending on the client's needs. We only use the best lights in the industry from Photonic Health, LLC.
1. Standard Red Light (660 nm, medical grade photonic light) developed for acupoint, skin issues & moderate tissue work.
2. Pro Red Light (500 mW, medical grade photonic light) designed for deeper, more direct penetration to muscles & bones. It can also penetrate a horses hoof wall.
There would appear to be no known side effects of Red Light Therapy. Should you be concerned, seek advice from a medical practitioner.Suggested Reading

What is meditation?
"Meditation is a precise technique for resting the mind and attaining a state of consciousness that is totally different from the normal waking state. It is the means for fathoming all the levels of ourselves and finally experiencing the center of consciousness within. Meditation is not a part of any religion; it is a science, which means that the process of meditation follows a particular order, has definite principles, and produces results that can be verified."
