Jen & Holly Hegeman: Equine Expert and Healer

Send a textIn this week's episode, I get to interview an equine massage therapist  Holly Hegeman, who is quite the expert at reading horses and their energy.  She gives such insightful tips about horses, how she helps them release pain, and also how the shared energy has helped to heal her throughout the years.  Hippotherapy is discussed for anyone looking to utilize horses as a modality to help regulate your nervous system and achieve calmness, peacefulness, and centering.  Holly Hegeman is the Owner of Elite Equine Massage Therapy WI & is a Full-time Large Animal Veterinary Technician: I have been involved with horses since I was a toddler doing lead-line classes in the Northern IL area in the beginning of the 1980’s. Early on, I decided to make a career out of buying/selling/training Sport Horses for English riding disciplines (think Dressage, Jumping and Eventing). After some life changes and discovering a passion for helping horses feel their very best, I made the decision to redirect my work towards Equine Sports Massage Therapy and Equine Veterinary Medicine as a technician well over 10 years ago. I studied in Virginia, Michigan, Illinois & Wisconsin taking courses in Equine Biomechanics and Equine Sports Massage Therapy with an emphasis on Kinesiology Taping for both the horse and the rider. I wanted to help horses to move their very best while being the most comfortable no matter the discipline, and to assist in the prevention and recovery from sport-related injuries thru Equine Sports Massage Therapy. I also integrate the use of lasers to help our Equine Partners to feel their best in helping to prevent injuries and to assist in healing post injury. I have traveled travel all over massaging horses. I must add that this career path has helped me to fulfill a sort of healing cycle I have with horses: they do so much for me in their simple way of “being,” that I had to find a way to connect and give back.Find Holly on the Socials:Elite Equine Massage Therapy WI:  https://www.facebook.com/eliteequinemassagetherapywiFind your host, Jen McNerney:https://jenmcnerney.com/https://linktr.ee/heartrootedhealinghttps://www.facebook.com/jenslpNEThttps://www.instagram.com/heartrootedhealing/https://www.tiktok.com/@heart.rooted.jen
