After practicing as a Registered Nurse for 35 years I realized that I wanted a change. Growing up I always loved animals, horses especially. My true passion has always been in seeing people and animals healthy and happy and assisting them in making changes for their physical and emotional well being.
When the opportunity arose, I decided to study as an equine nurse. It was a natural transition into the equine world. When I first started floating teeth, I realized I had to be in the now, or I would loose the horse, make him anxious, and the job would just take longer. That alone, I realized was the work I wanted to do; as horses have so much to give us in return.
It was my own health challenge 18 years ago, that was life changing. I studied and practiced every holistic therapy I could, regained my health and made a career out of it helping people, now horses.
In addition to balancing the mouth and floating teeth my practice includes hair follicle analysis, wound care and nutritional advise. I can help you get your horse off grain and eating salads. Karen has her Master’s Degree in Holistic Nutrition.
Currently I am on an equine sabbatical living with my Thoroughbred, Belle, two dogs and four cats at Hooved Animal Sanctuary in Vermont where I assist in the rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of horses and goats.
Hair Analysis via Bio-Feedback Technology
Bio-Feedback is a bio- energetic system to assess stress reactions via voltage, amperage and other electrical calculations which can be important indicators of wellness. It can be done while your horse is in the barn or via hair from the tail. This assessment is similar to ultrasound, CT scans, EEG, EMG, EKG’s. All of which measure the electrical body to provide information about states of health and areas of stress.
A powerful tool for education, stress reduction and to restore vibrant health. It assists the individual/animal in specific stress reactions with over 10,000 different items, to include nutrition, allergies/food sensitivities, emotional and mental states, toxicity and much more. The analysis will provide your horse not only physical areas to address, but emotional imbalances. A plan of care, including a oral remedy can be administered which is a energetic match to the horse, also sent electronically.
This technology energetically scans and harmonizes body’s stressors and imbalances. It detects and removes fundamental causes of stress V treating the symptoms. This is not a diagnostic tool and does not replace medical care.

Aids in wound healing
A initial hair analysis is $135.00. A portion of the proceeds is donated to Blue Star.
A remedy is $30.00 plus S&H; good for one month
E-Capsule is $75.00 sent 3xweek for one month.
It is advised to have monthly assessments until a healing.
Second and further hair analysis is $90.00.
Why Hair Assessment
Using a biologically active substance such as hair/blood or saliva can help determine energetic imbalances in the horse, human, dog and cat. Based up the results, a homeopathic like prescription can be created that is a biological match to balance the energies along with a computer generated “e-capsule” sent remotely 3-4xweek.
Why use a hair analysis?
As a preventive To assist your vet in diagnosing the problem If you suspect your horse is not well; has an allergy; or to balance diet
If your horse suddenly becomes lethargic, sick, lame and/or you know just not himself?
Does he have unwanted behaviors/emotions such as fear/anxiety? Do you know if your horse’s diet is compatible and complete?
Can help get to root cause of any nutritional deficiency; any level of toxicity; energetic imbalances; sources of inflammation/congestion; allergies.
Mark - Case Study
Mark is a Belgium Draft that has lived at Blue Star for three years. The past several months he has suffered from heaves, a respiratory condition, usually from hay dust, creating a chronic cough. He had to be kept away from his herd and have only soaked hay. Pam, Blue Star director, said he can’t keep up and work.
His heaves were so bad, he required albuterol; given to humans for wheezing and asthma. Although it probably helped him breathe, it in no way is a cure; just symptomatic relief.
It was also noted that Mark was getting barrel chested from using accessory muscles just to breathe. This happens in humans who suffer from obstructive lung disease, only not from hay:) When Mark is at UMASS and is only on pasture, he is fine.
Mark’s hair analysis did confirm a hay allergy and that he had a loss when he was about 8-10 years old, and suffering from grief. The emotion of unresolved grief can be stored in the lung.
A vet in California specializes in the allergy clearing technique, NEAT. Dr. Dean Bader, was consulted and cleared the hay dust allergy. This technique works within minutes. As a general conditioning boost to his immune system, he received a E- capsule with Ignatia, a homeopathic remedy for grief and immune herbs such as Equine Stem Cell, and vitamin C electronically 3xweek for three weeks.
I went back out to Blue Star for a visit and assess Mark, via a surrogate and muscle tested him. He reacted positively to the hay and the grief was gone. Pam was very excited; Mark is now back to work and his energy has returned. They no longer soak the hay.
At this time, I discovered Mark was receiving chinese herbs from Mayer , an acupuncturist from Northampton. Mayer stated he had been also working with Mark for about a month.
It is all energy and Mark is well. He is back working and thats all that matters.
