“For many years, I’ve been competing on my mare, HCC Zara (Sara), Who is well into a very successful endurance career. I began noticing that she was pushing off unevenly in her rear end and loosing her powerful drive. With Dawa’s many “tools,” she was able to correct the issues that were inhibiting her movement and now Sara is pushing off evenly from her hind end again. If Sara’s issues had not been addressed, I feel it would have compromised her level of performance and shortened the duration of her competitive career. Sara is very responsive to Dawa’s work and we’re now on a regular maintenance schedule of acupressure, sports massage and equine unwinding.”

“Romeo my dear 18 year-old gelding suffered for many years from past physical and probably emotional injuries. I tried a number of physical therapies to help him but it was a struggle for both of us. At his core he is a loving, gentle albeit high strung horse but would become highly reactive and dangerous if something in his environment “disturbed” him or if he felt unsure about what he and I were doing. While we stuck together, I increasingly felt unsafe around him as he had severely kicked me a couple of times. However we persevered and finally last year we found Dawa. Right from the first session Romeo received great physical relief and continued to improve between sessions. At one point, Dawa addressed his “pent up” emotional blockages during a session when she felt he was ready and able to “process” this treatment. There was a HUGE change in Romeo after this session. It felt to me that all of a sudden he had become “normal’; grounded and calm. I did not feel on guard or in danger anymore. Writing this brings tears as I am so thankful for Dawa and her expertise and great care. Romeo and I are now a happy horse/human couple. Thank you so much Dawa!”

“Woody, my 13-year-old Quarter horse, was limping, had a roach back and was on anti-inflammatories. He was stiff in his hind end and it looked really painful and uncoordinated when he trotted. In his canter departs he demonstrated a reluctance or hesitant “hop” which frightened me. Now after working with Dawa, Woody’s roach back has disappeared, he is willingly trotting and galloping smoothly, and having fun jumping and doing tricks. His departs and transitions are seamless and I am enjoying all his gaits, woohoo!”

I noticed that Stargazer, my beloved thoroughbred gelding was having difficulty getting up. I became increasingly concerned, as we all know that when a horse can’t get up, it usually means the blue juice. Every morning I would look out, with trepidation, to see if my horse was standing, or stuck down. When Dawa worked on him it was a MIRICLE. She unlocked his rear end and got the energy flowing, and Star was like a new horse. Now, he is able to have naps and get up, no problem. The work Dawa did on him saved his life, and the best part is she taught me some skills, so I can work on him between the times she sees him, and keep everything fluid. There is my beautiful boy, now 31 and still looking and moving the way he always has. Thank you, Dawa, from the bottom of my heart!
