About Me
Hello. My name is Denise Ashcraft, I feel that animals are our friends, helpers and teachers. I have been studying natural health in all of it's many forms since High School. The first horse that we had on the farm growing up was an abused pony who was head shy and very mistrustful. I couldn't get enough of "Nibble Nose" and finally was able to sit on her back. My life time love affair with horses was set.
Oh, it's a slippery slope... as I grew older I started rescuing horses. Why buy a perfectly sound, healthy horse when you can buy one that needs "fixing"? I found that I could bring them back from the brink of death, retrain them, help their minds to be calm and trusting but I couldn't get their bodies perfect ... which is what I wanted. THUS began my journey into massage and rebalancing body work.
WOW! What a powerful tool! Massage does not require expensive equipment that you have to lug around. Any one can do it!! I studied massage, "people" rehabilitation, equine movement and anatomy, natural horsemanship, natural nutrition and energy rebalancing. When I put it all together with my lifetime of experience with horses it became a complete program that works!! When the horse's body is loose and balanced, the nutrition is natural and balanced and the rider is natural and balanced you have the most amazing performance and relationship.
Call me today, I would love to help you and your friend/athlete become more balanced and together.
