About Miriah

Abu and Miriah

 


I discovered this work after my horse Honey suffered an avulsion fracture to her front leg.  The healing period was long and agonizing.  During that process she re-injured her leg and we started all over again.  To speed up the recovery the second time, I researched complementary and alternative methods of healing, and implemented every one that made sense to me.  My vets were amazed, and so was I.  I was newly inspired to reeducate myself and go help the horses.

 

Please note:

Massage is never a replacement for

proper veterinary care or diagnosis. 

It is best used along with top quality vet care.

Healthy Honey in the field.

About my Education

 

I am a professional Equine Body Worker (EBW).  I received my EBW certification in 2002 from Equinology, Inc. ® , a top rated school for Equine bodywork and anatomy studies.

 

I am insured and a member of International Equine Body Workers Association.   Every year I continue my education and have been trained by talented and dedicated teachers and veterinarians.

 

Jacquie Becker stretching the hamstrings

In 2005 and 2006 I had the great fortune to train with Jacquie Becker, an equine physical therapist from Hawaii.  I joined her on her Northern California circuit every 7-8 weeks and assisted and apprenticed with her.  I would like to convey my deepest gratitude to Jacquie for her generous contribution to my knowledge and skills.  Along with stretching and physical therapy, I learned dedication and tenacity from her.  I’ve never met a harder worker – thanks, Jacquie!

"I've got to tell you how much better Gypsy feels.

She's so relaxed; the neck opposition is gone.

And today, instead of stopping at the trailer, she jumped right in.

This is a great alternative to drug therapies for pain." Tanya Leman, Canby, OR
