In today’s equine world, we’re asking more than ever from professionals: deeper insights, smarter decisions, and whole-horse thinking that doesn’t rely on guesswork.

That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the Integrative Wellness Professional Course Series — a five-course continuing education pathway designed for equine professionals who are ready to go beyond surface-level learning and truly support the horse as a complete, interconnected being.

Whether you're a bodyworker, trainer, farrier, rehab specialist, or someone who supports horses in rescue, retirement, or performance — this series will change the way you think, assess, and act.

The question isn’t just “what’s going on with this horse?”It’s: “What does this horse need most right now—and what’s the best next step?”

What You’ll Learn

This powerful series builds your clinical reasoning, observation skills, and professional communication — all while giving you a grounded, repeatable system for working through complex cases.

It’s designed for:

Equine bodyworkers and manual therapists
Riding instructors and horse trainers
Hoof care professionals and farriers
Equine rehab and conditioning teams
Caregivers of seniors, rescues, or long-term rehab horses
Dedicated horse owners wanting professional-level education

Why This Series Matters

Let’s face it: most equine professionals are self-taught when it comes to case reasoning, nervous system support, and integrating multiple body systems into a single strategy. This series helps eliminate the guesswork.

You’ll learn how to:

See patterns clearly
Support the whole horse — not just the part that’s hurting
Choose the right intervention at the right time
Communicate like a confident, grounded professional

Whether you’re new to integrative wellness or ready for a skills upgrade, this series gives you a repeatable, adaptable system for improving outcomes in real-world cases.
