Neil and Ashley Bourne, Rocking B Ranch*
“Carla’s body work has made such a difference in our horses mobility and flexibility. We’ve seen immediate improvement in their attitudes and overall performance on everything from colts to our finished horses!
Carla is incredibly knowledgeable, efficient and personable.
We love to use her services as preventative maintenance, and especially on horses with any lameness issues.“

“Both my mare and I have benefited greatly from Carla’s skills in Bowen work. My horse had many musculoskeletal problems that went unrecognized and accumulated over a long time. She finally collapsed one day, under saddle, as her cry for help. Following that incident, we were so fortunate to find Carla. Carla identified each problem area on my mare’s body and addressed them with Bowen work. She also made a referral to an equine dentist when she found soreness in the TMJ area. In each Bowen session, my horse’s body responded well and made progress toward regaining a proper balance. Were it not for Carla, my horse would have to retire from riding with a painful body. Carla made it possible for my mare to feel good again and return to trail riding. Carla also applied her techniques to me. For many decades, I have had bodywork of various kinds to maintain my musculoskeletal system with normal function without pain. This includes about 30 years of Rolfing sessions. Comparison with my Rolfing experience gave me the insight to appreciate the powerful benefits of Carla’s Bowen work. I had some problem areas in my body that I had learned to live with, for which Carla’s technique accomplished new improvements. I am thrilled for both my mare and me to be patients of Carla, as Bowen work is the most effective way I have found to restore an unbalanced musculoskeletal system to good health.”

“ As an animal rescue we see animals with all kinds of stressors and injuries. Having Carla come work on the horses has significantly improved our success with full recovery. One older horse, Selina, struggled to keep weight on; but after a few times having equine balance therapy, she was unrecognizable – she looked 10 years younger! I’ve watched uncatchable, traumatized animals become therapy horses because of how Carla helps them, and helps us be better at working with them. Her skill is truly a gift. ”

“The first time I used Carla I was simply amazed! Both of my horses looked like they had gained weight! After working with her many times I understand that it was from relaxing the muscles and adjusting spots I didn’t know were out. She has a stupendous amount of knowledge about horse anatomy and a “feel” that “heals” with her touch.”

“ Carla is truly gifted and heaven sent!
My Mare was abused when we got her, she didn't trust people and stayed sore from her old injuries. The first time Carla ever worked on her I saw an immediate change in my mare! She realized people weren't bad and that Mrs. Carla has a true gift with her touch! We love Carla for not only her work, but she's an amazing person with the impact she has on animals and people “

"It is hard to explain to people how you fix things I don't know how you do it. But have seen results!!!!
When one (especially crazy chestnut mare) goes from ears pinned, biting & kicking to relaxed, happy & yawning then runs harder/faster than before it says a lot .
Your method is magic."

“Carla has worked with me on several different areas of my life. I was skeptic at first until I saw her work on my horse Sonya. She had bad arthritis and could hardly walk in her back legs. I did not know she could be fixed. Carla walked up to her, and told me what was wrong with her. She proceeded to push and poke on different areas and when she was finished, my horse took off galloping across the pasture when we took the halter off! I was shocked to say the least!
If Carla could fix my horse, why couldn’t she fix me was the question I asked myself. She has worked on me and with me every since that day in the pasture. She has worked on my physical body and the energy psychology therapies Carla uses has helped me with my child abuse issues as well as my drug addiction issues I have had in my past. I love working with Carla because she is so thorough with her work and talks you through every step. She never leaves me hanging on to something that I need to let go of. She is a friend that I have that I trust with my life. I cherish our friendship.”

“I have used Carla for years! One night I must have slept wrong and had the worse crick pain in my neck ever. It would not stop hurting and I could not turn my head. I iced, I used a heat pad, etc…, nothing worked. My daughter was going out by Carla’s and said she would drop me off and pick me back up. An hour later I was out of pain and could turn my head.”
