To any of my friends currently studying 📚 naturopathy or new graduates 🎓 do not miss out on an incredible opportunity to be mentored by this incredible woman.

The link 🔗 between school and practice is a giant daunting leap in any profession and mentors like Jayne only make that easier.

🌱

You’ve completed the qualification… but stepping into practice can still feel overwhelming.

The uncertainty.
The pressure to know all the answers.
The quiet comparison that makes it seem like everyone else has it figured out.

After almost two decades working in clinic, I’ve learned that real confidence develops through experience — not just textbooks.

That’s why I developed the Rural Clinic Initiative.

Join me this September 7-11 for a life changing experience with a 5-day immersive program created for new graduate naturopaths ready to transition from student life into confident clinical practice — with a focus on practical skills, clinical reasoning, hands-on experience and genuine practitioner guidance in a rural clinic environment.

Throughout the week, you’ll experience hands-on clinical learning, mentoring from experienced practitioners, education sessions with leading testing companies, a compounding workshop, valuable clinical resources, product samples and meaningful connection with other graduates on the same journey.

Because new graduates shouldn’t have to navigate the early years alone — and rural communities need well-supported practitioners.

Proudly supported by vital.ly - a full sponsorship place is available due to their generosity. To apply head to the form below.

✨ Places are limited.

Big advocate for trot pole/log work with your ponies 🐴 💪

A recent study from the University of Tennessee provided strong support for something trainers, movement specialists, and bodyworkers have observed for years:

Ground poles significantly increase activation of important postural and core muscles in horses.

What the Study Found

Walking over ground poles increased activity in:

• Longissimus dorsi — a major topline and spinal support muscle
• Abdominal muscles — critical for core stability and support of the spine

Even at the walk, poles require the horse to:

• Lift the limbs higher
• Stabilize the trunk more actively
• Organize posture and balance with greater precision
• Continuously adjust limb placement and timing

At the trot, researchers also found increased activation of the abdominal muscles.

Trotting over poles requires greater dynamic stabilization, and the increased limb elevation demands more coordinated control of the trunk, pelvis, and spine.

What This Means

These findings support the long-standing use of cavaletti and ground poles as a low-impact way to:

• Strengthen the topline
• Improve abdominal engagement
• Support spinal stability
• Enhance proprioception and coordination
• Encourage improved posture and self-carriage
• Develop better movement organization through the whole body

One of the most important aspects of pole work is that it influences both sides of the postural system:

• The dorsal chain — including the longissimus muscles along the back
• The ventral chain — including the abdominal support system

This balance is essential for efficient movement, force transfer, and development of a healthy, functional topline.

But pole work is not only muscular.

It is neurological.

Each pole creates a movement problem the horse must solve in real time.

The horse has to:

• Judge distance
• Adjust stride length
• Control timing
• Stabilize the trunk
• Organize the limbs in space
• Adapt moment-to-moment to changing demands

That process requires attention, coordination, body awareness, and ongoing nervous system regulation.

In many horses, poles appear to improve focus not simply because the horse is “behaving,” but because the nervous system is becoming more engaged and organized around the task.

Pole work may also influence neurological tone — the background level of muscular and nervous system readiness that affects posture, movement quality, stiffness, and coordination.

For some horses, this can help reduce excessive bracing and improve adaptability through the body.
For others, it can help improve postural engagement and overall organization.

Why It Matters

Regular pole work can benefit many types of horses:

• Young horses developing coordination and posture
• Performance horses improving strength, agility, movement quality, and limb awareness
• Horses rebuilding core control and stability after periods of weakness or reduced work
• Older horses maintaining mobility, coordination, and movement confidence

Importantly, many of these benefits occur even at the walk, making poles accessible to horses across a wide range of ages, disciplines, and fitness levels.

Rather than simply “making horses pick up their feet,” poles appear to challenge the nervous system, postural system, sensory system, and muscular system together — encouraging the horse to organize movement with greater control, awareness, and adaptability.

🐾 A Small Update to My Fees 🐾

To my wonderful clients — both two-legged and four-legged 🫶

Over the past four years, I’ve done my best to keep fees the same while continuing to provide the highest level of care for your animals. However, with the steady rise in travel, equipment, and business costs, a small fee increase has now become necessary to keep the business running sustainably and maintain the quality of service your animals deserve.

This adjustment will take effect from 1st March 2026.

I want you to know how truly grateful I am for your continued trust, loyalty, and support. Being able to care for your animals and support their comfort, mobility, and wellbeing is something I never take for granted. Your support allows me to keep doing work I genuinely love.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out — I’m always happy to chat.

Thank you for being such an important part of this journey 🐶🐴🐮🤎

Kind Regards,

Carissa
