It all began with a 30 something Palomino gelding
named Dusty. Dusty had gotten to the point where he
was afraid to lie down to sleep for fear that he would
not be able to get back up. Consequently, when he
would sleep standing up, he would get so sleepy that
his neck and head would drop so they were touching
the ground and he would lose his balance and
stumble around, sometimes even falling over.
Looking for some way to help Dusty, Kim attended
her first equine acupressure and massage class
taught by Diana Thompson of Hands-On Horse Care
in June of 1999. At that class, she learned some
acupressure and massage techniques and also
about Bach Flower Essences. She came home and
practiced what she had learned on Dusty.
Three days later she watched as he once again went
to sleep, lost his balance and stumbled around, only
this time after doing that, he regained his balance, did
a big full-body stretch and promptly lay down for a 30
minute nap! Needless to say, Kim was ecstatic. Dusty
went on to live (and nap lying down!) for two more
years before having to be put down due to bone
cancer.
This was the start of Kim’s training in massage,
acupressure and flower essences. Since then, Kim
has continued to take classes in all of these
therapies. She has honed her skills by practicing on
her own animals and her friends’ animals. In 2003,
she decided to pursue certification in these fields.
Kim received her certification in Large Animal
Massage from the Northwest School of Animal
Massage in Redmond, Washington in January of
2005 and her certification in Small Animal Massage
in June of 2005.
Kim also received certification in both canine and
equine acupressure from Tallgrass Animal
Acupressure in Larkspur, Colorado in June of 2005.
Kim continues to take classes and study numerous
modalities to add to her practice, Most recently she
has trained with Madalyn Ward, DVM to become a
Level 2 Certified Equine Five Element Temperament
Typologist.
