Our plan was to discontinue teaching the Equissage Certification Program, place our business on the market, sell our little farm, downsize, and get ready for retirement.

We were interviewed for what were supposed to be managerial positions at the farm of a very wealthy widow in Rhode Island, work a couple more years, then go into full retirement.

It did not work out! Once we announced that we had sold our farm, the attitude of the owner of the RI farm changed overnight.

Everything went from bad to worse. Contract agreements were no longer adhered to.

Job vacancies were not filled, which placed an additional work load on us.

We were confronted with a six day work week and loss of time off.

This disappointment brought us full circle to where we started as Equine Body Workers.

Very early on in our careers, we committed to giving some level of wellness back to horses for all they have, and are still giving, to us and everyone who has encountered these amazing beings.

We are happy and exited to continue our passion for as long as we are able.

A former student of ours connected us with the President of an Equine / Donkey Sanctuary, Ray of Light Farm, Inc., in East Haddam, Conn.

The meeting went well, and in short order, we decided to make the move to East Haddam, and revive the Equissage Certification Program for New England and New York.

We are looking forward to a very good year teaching the Equissage Certification Course.

Additionally, we offer a One-Day Intro to Equine Massage for horse owners, and the Upper Suspension Release Method, a technique which addresses tension of the deeper Thorasic Sling muscles, Pelvic Girdle muscles, deeper Back, Oblique, Poll and Neck muscles.

Our Classes are intentionally kept small, no more than four, to insure that we can provide the best student to instructor ratio, enabling us to pay closer attention to those students requiring more one-on-one focus during the hands on practice sessions. Doris is also a MMCP & Coach.

Additionally, we provide Body Work services including: Sports and Therapeutic Massage, Myo-Fascial Release, Cranio Sacral Therapy, Masterson Method Techniques, Reiki, Infra Red Photon Light Therapy, and the Upper Suspension Release.
