My Approach

A therapeutic, species-appropriate approach to nourishing the whole horse. 

As an Equine Osteopath, I spent many years supporting horses therapeutically and repeatedly encountered the same pattern: no matter how skilled the bodywork, healing remained limited when nutritional foundations were not in place. Once nutrition was addressed as a core pillar of care, the roadblocks I had been meeting began to dissolve, and I started to see deeper, more lasting whole-body healing. This realization is what led me to offer holistic equine nutrition consultations alongside my osteopathic work.

My online Holistic Equine Nutrition Consultations are designed to support horses with chronic issues, complex health histories, or owners who want to move beyond symptom management and toward deeper, more resilient health.

In your holistic nutrition consultation, I take a thorough, individualized, and therapeutic approach to understanding your horse’s health. We begin with a comprehensive review of your horse’s history, current concerns, environment, workload, and lifestyle. From there, I develop a customized nutrition and wellness plan that may include whole foods, plants and herbs, highly bioavailable nutrients, homeopathy where appropriate, and practical lifestyle and management recommendations.

This work follows a systematic, layered process, much like peeling an onion. As one layer of imbalance or stress is addressed, the next becomes clearer. This allows the body to move steadily toward deeper regulation, resilience, and long-term wellness.

What the Process Looks Like

This is not a one-time consultation or a quick fix. It is a guided process that unfolds over time and is tailored to your individual horse.

You will begin by completing a very detailed intake form that covers your horse’s full health and medical history, current diet and feeding practices, environment, lifestyle, workload, and your goals or concerns. This information allows me to understand the whole horse rather than focusing on isolated symptoms.

We then meet for an initial Zoom consultation to review the intake together, clarify priorities, discuss patterns that are emerging, and establish realistic expectations and timelines.

Following our call, I create a detailed and individualized nutrition and wellness plan designed to support your horse over the next two to three months. This plan includes details on conditions or challenges we are addressing followed by dietary recommendations for hay, whole foods, plants, herb blends, bioavailable nutrients, therapeutic supports, and lifestyle recommendations tailored to your horse’s specific needs. There will be very specific ingredients with amounts and suggestions for where the products can be purchased. 

True healing takes time. Most horses require multiple follow-up consultations, gradual adjustments to their plan, and ongoing assessment of how their body is responding. For many cases, this process spans six to twelve months, and sometimes longer, depending on the depth and complexity of the underlying imbalance.

Important Things to Know Before You Begin

This work is deeply rewarding, but it requires commitment and a willingness to look beyond conventional feeding models. Most horses have not had their nutritional requirements fully met for much of their lives, and restoring balance takes time. This is not a quick fix.

This approach often involves an entirely new way of thinking about how horses are fed and nourished. Changes are made gradually and intentionally, with respect for the horse’s nervous system and capacity to adapt.

Many health challenges that are commonly managed with pharmaceuticals, such as ulcer medications, NSAIDs, pergolide, or thyroid medications are often used in excess. While these interventions can be necessary and appropriate in some cases, I frequently see situations where foundational nutritional support could have reduced the need for long-term medication.

My goal is to support the body so effectively that fewer interventions are needed over time. This work is an invitation into a species-appropriate, whole-horse approach that prioritizes nourishment, regulation, and long-term wellbeing over symptom suppression.

Who This Is For

Holistic nutrition consultations are suitable for both complex cases and proactive, preventative care.

This work can be particularly supportive for horses experiencing metabolic conditions such as PPID or insulin resistance, digestive issues including ulcers or leaky gut, laminitis or hoof-related challenges, allergies and skin conditions, chronic stress or nervous system dysregulation, behavioral changes, persistent lameness or recurring body tension, stocking up, or ongoing inflammation.

These consultations are also for owners who do not want to wait for their horse to become unwell. If your goal is to support long-term health and resilience, reduce the likelihood of colic, ulcers, and chronic disease, and avoid unnecessary veterinary interventions where possible, this work offers a proactive and preventative approach to care.

Why Nutrition Matters So Deeply

The way horses are commonly fed today often relies heavily on processed feeds and multi-mineral mixes that do not meet their true biological needs. Many of these products contain fillers, binders, preservatives, and chemicals, as well as nutrients that are poorly absorbed or not biologically available. Excess sugars, oils, protein, soy, GMOs, and glyphosate-contaminated ingredients are common, and over time these inputs can quietly contribute to inflammation, metabolic stress, digestive dysfunction, and nervous system overload.

In my practice, I consistently see that the majority of horses are struggling nutritionally. This is not a reflection of a lack of care. Owners, trainers, and veterinarians are often doing their best within a system that does not prioritize species-appropriate nourishment or a true understanding of equine nutritional physiology.

Over more than a decade of working therapeutically with horses, one truth has become unmistakably clear: lasting healing is not achievable if basic nutritional needs are not met. When poor nutrition is combined with high stress and unmet foundational needs, horses can enter a downward health spiral that often leads to increasing medications, recurring issues, and chronic management.

This is what I am deeply committed to helping prevent. When nutrition is addressed as the foundation, alongside appropriate workload, environment, and nervous system support, I began to see what I had been searching for throughout my career: true whole-body health and the body’s innate ability to heal.
