Karen Partisch, Licensed Craniosacral Therapist

 The horse shows me where they want to work and I facilitate their healing process.

Why would my horse need a treatment with Karen?

Karen has her '10,000 hours' in bodywork and horses. Her treatment process, based in craniosacral therapy, is an integrative approach that benefits by reducing pain, increasing mobility of joints, tissues and fluids. This allows improved health and function physically, mentally and emotionally.

Owners and trainers have me treat their horses for all kinds of reasons; from general wellness, to training issues and diagnosed conditions.

If there are restrictions in the body, for whatever reason, CST can help locate and release them. The horse shows me where they want to work and I facilitate their healing process.

One of the areas that I feel I am good at, is creating the space where healing can happen at its best.

What Clients Are Saying About Karen's Work with Horses

  • "Karen has worked her magic on myself and several of my horses. I am not new to bodywork, so it is through experience that I can say that Karen has a very special sensitivity and technique. The results are unmistakable. I can see the changes happening in the horses as she works, and I can feel a difference when I ride them.

    I especially appreciate how she works with the horse, taking into account their emotional state and willingness to allow her ‘in’. I have personally felt significant changes in my own body that vary from just feeling amazingly relaxed, to resolving some long-standing asymmetries."

  • "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."

Karen will not diagnose any illness, disease or dysfunction. Craniosacral Therapy (CST) has a proven record of success as a stand alone therapy. Some clients and physicians choose to use CST along with other modalities and/or allopathic medicine. There are rare cases where it should not be used exclusively as a substitution for medical treatment.
