“For years now I have been so intrigued and drawn to the idea of energy work.... for horses. I really didn’t know much, but from the little samples I was exposed to, I clung onto those concepts and tried learning what I could. I had no idea what I was searching for, but I knew I needed to do it. I have been on that hunt for maybe close to 8 years, wandering the energetic abyss lost and yet hopeful. I also knew I wasn’t ready yet, if I hadn’t found “the thing” that meant that it wasn’t time. I instead read and learned what I could as a broad whole, dove into learning about massage techniques for horses because that was more tangible and more accepted among others. As I stepped into accepting and sharing my heart through my art, I connected with Kathryn from @openhearthorsemanship, who just so happens to be introducing to the world a specific Equine Reiki Certification. I am not all woo nor all logic. I want a world where the two merge, because closing off one of those throws the balance. Kathryn’s goal is to bridge that... diving into both the energetic and physical anatomy of horses and how everything aligns and relates. It finally felt like I’d found “the thing” I’ve been waiting for! All summer I have been on my journey of art, horses, Reiki, and in turn, meeting myself in a way I never have before. I am finally allowing myself to be myself and the possibilities feel endless. After weeks of zoom chats and one-on-one super organic free flowing classes, I finally feel valid for all of the things I’ve ever felt energetically with horses. Last week I flew out to Los Angeles and received my attunement. I had a beautiful week full of energy, horses, and good people. If you have any interest in learning more about what she does, check out @openhearthorsemanship, ask questions, follow her for insight, this is definitely what she is meant to do!”

“Thank you, Kathryn, for giving my horse, Clayton, a journey he thoroughly enjoyed (licks and chews, lower lip hanging, eyes closed). Kathryn is an amazing woman and has been given the incredible gift of reaching the soul and spirit of my horse. Yes, Clayton asked me to invite her back and I will. For those of you who are mildly interested, perhaps you can see for yourself one of these days.”

~ Linda Lewis, Horse Owner

“I called Kathryn to help me with my two Clydesdales. One was acting wild after escaping and having to fend for himself. The other had reoccurring hoof issues causing lateness. Kathryn with her “safety first and always“ explanations to protect both the horses and me. The horses responded well to her and my frenetic horse has relaxed. The horse with the hoof issues has greatly improved. Kathryn is teaching me the tremendous value of a strong ground based relationship with them – and that value shows as we continue to learn. Beyond the improvements I see in the horses, my family and friends see differences in me. As Kathryn has helped me connect to my horses, I have found calmness and joy in sharing time with my Clydesdales, and patience that translates to other areas of my life.”

“ I had always been curious about Reiki as a healing modality, so I finally sought out treatment during a very difficult transition with my work, as I was stressed and worried every day. Kathryn has a powerful, loving presence that feels like she really has your back, she brings a soft strength that feels sheltering. The treatment felt like a warm, soothing yet electrically healing feeling was flowing through my body. I was closing my eyes, but could almost see the glow of her channeling this brilliant light throughout my body, the feeling was palpable. I felt a deep relaxation settle over me afterwards, I haven’t relaxed in months, and I slept so well that night- approximately 10.5 hours! Prior to this I was having insomnia and often waking up around 4 AM, laying in bed tossing and turning for hours before returning to sleep. I am so grateful for this kind and loving soul! Kathryn is a true healer and I highly recommend her services.
