"The first time I witnessed CST being done on a horse, I couldn’t figure out what was happening. It looked as if Karen was just standing there with her hand on the horse doing absolutely nothing…but the horse was releasing and becoming more and more relaxed. Very interesting!

During my first CST session I couldn’t believe the sensations I was feeling in my body as Karen worked on me. But she merely had her hand on me! After the session I felt amazing. My shoulders were now even, my lower back didn’t hurt, my legs felt longer and I was in such a deep state of relaxation that I have never felt before. I knew my horse needed a session as well!

The first CST session with my horse, Aramis, was incredibly powerful. At first he was very unsure about Karen’s touch, but eventually he relaxed into the work…having a pretty horrible past before I became his owner, I wasn’t surprised he was skeptical. All of a sudden I felt this powerful urge to cry. What it ended up being was, through the CST work, he was letting me feel the sad emotions he still had bottled up from his past. And then he let it go.

I then felt such a warm feeling from him, one of love. Not only did the CST work help my horse emotionally, in just one session his back changed. It went from being hard and a little sore to soft and mobile. CST work also helped my horse make a full and complete recovery from a bad injury he sustained to his face which resulted in him having a fracture. In just a few weeks this very deep fracture had healed COMPLETELY and the surgeon was shocked to see that on the x-rays.

I HIGHLY recommend CST work! I have seen the benefits of it from my horse, and I’ve experienced it personally as well."

"When I first met Karen, I really had no idea what CST was. I was curious as to how it worked, and I had a horse that needed body work, that traditional medicine wasn’t helping. Karen came highly recommended from a good friend, so I thought I would see what CST was about.

At first, when I saw Karen begin her work, I was surprised by how light her touch was on the horses, and was immediately reassured that something special was happening by how positively my horses were responding. It looks like she is not doing anything, but laying hands on the horses, but their reactions are amazing.

My horses have all responded by releasing areas of tension, soreness, tightness that they had been holding onto and could not release on their own. Karen has a gift for identifying areas of blockages from an emotional, physical and mental level and with her CST she can help the body and mind release them to allow healing to occur.

I am amazed of Karen’s gift of intuition every time she puts her hands on my horses, as she quickly identifies what areas need to be addressed. Karen has made huge changes in my horses, as they all move much freer and are emotionally happier every time she touches them."
