Horses have a unique job. They not only carry us but do their best to correct any imbalances we have as riders so that we are able to work together. When we are stronger on one side than the other, for example, the horse must compensate to keep the team balanced.

All four of my pups had massages with Lillian for the first time yesterday. Every one of them, from my always need to be doing something agility dogs to my couch potato to my elderly rescue got exactly what they needed. She was endlessly patient with my wiggly 1 year old Border Collie and had so many different ways to work with her. She also generously shared so much of her knowledge and experience along the way. She has many years of education and experience and it shows. What stays with me is how much she genuinely cares about every dog she touches. So grateful she’s in the area. I highly recommend!

Our first session today with my 2 girls with individual problems. Very professional and thorough with them both and explained what she was doing and answered every question I had. She even help show me what I can be doing between sessions or when either of them need a relaxing coax to help them out. I will be seeing her again with my girls. Much needed therapy for everyone involved.
