Hello! My name is Layla Harris. I was born and raised in California where my mom owned and operated a sales and training barn. I had the wonderful privilege of riding 100s of horses while growing up and to have my mom ingrain into me, that horses are sentient beings and high-performance athletes, that need care as an NFL player might. For a horse, as with any professional athlete, it takes a village of experts who train both horse and rider, specializing in saddle fitting, nutrition, perfectly balanced hooves, teeth, and so on… and in this village, my role is to minister their health via a balanced mind, body, and spirit. It is all connected, as it is in us.

Everything is energy. We always had the best vets, chiropractors, farriers, and so on. But something was still missing. When drugs or surgeries would not help the horse, we were left feeling hopeless and disempowered.

That’s when I became motivated to seek out other possibilities! I began using red and infrared LED light therapy on my horses and got amazing results! Next came learning the importance of detoxing my horses and my curiosity lead me to search out and apply new and effective modalities. I’ve now been a professional BodyWorker since 2014, and my education continues as well as my desire to empower other horse lovers who may be wondering how they can become more self-reliant in their horse’s care. In July of 2019 I became a Certified Instructor to teach Holistic Horsework’s Level 1 Clinics.

More on about what I do; Currently, I offer Equine and Canine BodyWork. I take a holistic approach and evaluate your horse from head to hoof. I use multiple modalities including acupressure, musculoskeletal unwinding, advanced applied kinesiology, essential oils, Cranial Decompression, Myofascial Release, and osteopathic type moves to help restore balance in your horses head, body, and energy. My specialty is helping those with mysterious lamenesses as well as keeping your athlete tip-top for competition or comfortable in their retirement. No job is too big or too small. I then leave you, the horse owner, a report and some strategies/homework for continued success between visits! I’ve worked with, and have helped, hundreds of horses and their owners get to the “root” of many issues and strengthen their bond along the way!

I am not a vet nor chiropractor and I do not replace them. I like to think I help to fill in a few gaps between them, and as a whole, all of the bases will be covered on your dog and/or horse’s journey to healing and maintaining good health. I look forward to getting to know you and your four-legged fur babies! Contact me today to help your equine or canine partner feel their best. Based in Central TX, will travel.

Hello, I’m Jennifer Norman, I have been active in the horse community and riding horses for nearly 30 years. My daughter, husband, and I love to trail ride and compete in timed events. We currently have three horses, four dogs, two goats, a cat, and a rabbit. Our little farm is never short of entertainment!

Early on in life, I realized that I am passionate about horses and love helping them preform to the best of their abilities. I enjoy balancing the equine body, mind, and soul while hitting all levels of “Release, re-balance, and restore”. I began working on horses in 2004 when I completed an equine massage certification course. While performing my massage sessions I saw huge results but felt like there was something missing. I received a video from a fellow equine enthusiast about April’s Holistic Horseworks program and was immediately hooked! I felt like it was a sign and the answer to my curiosity of what I was missing!

After participating and completing level one with April in California, I knew in my heart that Holistic Horseworks was the missing link to many of the common issues I would come across. I realized that if I wanted to help horses become happier and healthier long term, I would need to continue my education, by adding levels 2 and 3 to my ever-growing arsenal of knowledge. After my initial class, I traveled to Texas, where I learned levels 2 and 3. These classes were incredibly eye opening. I was amazed at the difference April’s maneuvers made on the horses and how easily they were to incorporate in my bodywork sessions. With my acquired knowledge, I now view my equine client’s with a holistic outlook. This has made significant differences with all of the horses I come in contact with. I can now address the root of the cause instead of treating the symptom and band aiding the entire situation. Horses I see are now actively healing, getting better and lasting well past their twenties.

Since becoming a certified level one instructor and part of April’s team, I am eager to continue learning and advance my instructors certifications. My body work sessions have truly evolved and it completely amazes me. I love to learn and will always further my education to ensure my horses, my clients, and my students will always have up to date information. Our world is ever changing and with it, our views and techniques need to evolve to stay current and proper. I look forward to working with all of my past and future clients as well as bringing this program to students in the Pacific Northwest! Based in Oregon, will travel.
