Geary Whiting: The Art of Shiatsu Massage

In this deeply insightful conversation, Geary Whiting shares his pioneering work with Shiatsu massage for horses and the profound impact it has on both equine health and human connection. With decades of hands-on experience, Geary explains how touch, intention, and energy can transform not only the horse’s body but also the emotional landscape of both horse and rider. He explores how trauma, tension, and imbalance can live in the horse’s body—and how skilled, compassionate hands can bring release and harmony. Geary also speaks to the importance of equine nutrition, self-awareness, and emotional healing for anyone who works with horses.
