Caroline has been training both competition and pleasure horses for over fifteen years and manages her own livery yard, Liberation Farm. The focus of the yard is on horses being able to live their own lives in a more natural environment. The success of Liberation Farm has led to the opening of a second barn specifically designed for horses in need of physical or emotional healing. As a Tallgrass Equine Acupressure Practitioner, Caroline also combines Herbalism, Reiki & Homeopathy with the art of listening. The combination of all of these treatments along with a healthy dose of laughter and common sense provides the perfect balance for both the horses and their "people".

Phillipa McAuley
Darlington Primary

Mobile Phone: 0798 909 4235
Email: acufix@gmail.com
Specialties: Equine

In 2002, after careers in teaching and information management, Phillipa began practising her healing and animal skills in earnest. She is a qualified Tai Chi teacher and Healer for people and animals, and now cares for 6 horses and a dog at home. She first became interested in Acupressure, having used the Tallgrass book to help save a very poorly foal, and believes it is an important tool that everyone should be aware of for managing health issues. She finds acupressure is an ideal partner for the energy healing she offers. She is now adding muscle management techniques to her portfolio in order to enable maximal effectiveness of the acupressure, in addition to relieving discomfort.

She believes that our animal friends have spiritual needs just their owners do and that the acupressure approach is helpful because it incorporates the emotional health with physical care. She feels that the hands on, 'listening' nature of acupressure is an important part of the effectiveness of the therapy.
