I have 6 horses & 2 dogs all have their own different issues.Helen  has helped  3  of  my  horses  &  1  of  my  dogs  using  Bowen  Therapy  & Homeopathic Remedies.My  dog  Jedda  &  my  Horse  Josh  have nervous  and  anxiety  issues.  They  are scared  of  thunder  & fireworks  and  any    loud  noises.  Helen  recommended giving them an essence remedy which has helped them deal with their issues.Helen also  used  Bowen  Therapy  on  my  three  horses,  Josh,  Chloe  & Moscow.   Moscow  has  had  recurring  problems  with  stifle  lock  & chronic  arthritis.  He was having difficulties just walking from A to B and was very depressed.Helen  used  Bowen  &  Homeopathic  remedies on  him  and  he  is  doing  great  now walking  nicely  once  again. Chloe  had  a  pinched  nerve  down  the  back  of  her leg  &  always seemed  to  collapse.  She  also  had  Bowen  Therapy  and    after  a couple of treatments she  improved and is also doing well now. 
Josh had  a  few  problems    both  with  his  stifle  and  a    recurring  sore back.    Helen  worked  on  Josh  3  or  4  times  and  Josh  has  not had a problem  since.  We  also  looked  at  a  proper  saddle  to  enable  me to  ride  him  once  again  as  he  had  improved  so  much.  Keep up the good work  Helen  thanks  for  everything  you  have  done.  You  have been  my  life  saver  for  my  animals.  I  was  at  the  end  of  my rope and  didn't know what to do… then I found Helen.
Thank you so much for all your help.

Ned  as  we  call  him  was  an  ex  race  horse  that  did  not  have  the  speed  at the  track.  When  we  got  him, he  was  quite  edgy  and  very  sore  through  the back  and  hindquarters  in  particular.  He  had  passed through  a  number  of people  before  he  arrived    with  us,  so  we  were  never  really  sure  what  he may  have experienced or what problems he really had.  We  asked  Helen  to assess  him  and  see  if  there  was  a  chance  to  improve  his  behaviour  and health. Helen  recommended  essences  to  help  with  his  adjustment  to  the change  in  his  role  and  circumstances. She  also  identified  key  pain  points and stress  patterns  in  his  body  using  Bowen  and  Kinesiology  and after  3-4 treatments,  Ned  certainly  improved.    Helen  also  suggested  some  Arnica,  a homoeopathic remedy  to  help  with  recovery  from  muscle  soreness  and pain.  She  also  showed  us  some  stretching  and acupressure  techniques  to help with  overall  flexibility  and  wellbeing.  With  the  reduction  in  soreness  and the use  of  the  essences,  Ned’s  anxiety  reduced  and  he  was  much  more  trusting in  our  day  to  day handling of him.  Today  some  months  on,  Ned  is  a  different horse;  he  looks  well,  is  more  engaging  and  has  a  new  interest in life! We have a new found appreciation for the use of natural and holistic therapies.
Thank you Helen.

Molly  was  running  around  the  paddock  one  day  with  my  other 2 horses  and  had an  accident  where  she  damaged  the  muscles that hold  the  shoulder  to  the  body as  well  as  the  nerve  to  that area.  When  it  first  happened  Molly  could  not  walk  on all  four legs  she  was  hopping  and  dragging  the  front  leg.  It  looked  at first  as  if she  had  popped  her  shoulder  out  as  the  swelling  had hidden  the  collapsed muscle.    I  originally  arranged  for  a chiropractor  to  see  Molly.  The  chiropractor said  that  her shoulder  was  a  little  out,  but  the  muscle  tear  and  nerve paralysis was  the  worse  he  had  ever  seen  and  that  I  should  be kind  to  her  and  put  her down.At  the  time  I  also  had  a  vet examine  Molly  and  he  confirmed  that  she  had "sweeny  shoulder" and  also  believed  it  was  best  to  put  her  down.  
Picture
He  said  that whilst  she  was  not  in  pain  she  would  never  walk  properly  again  let  alone  trot  or canter.    I  decided  to  look  into  what sweeny  shoulder  was  and  get  a  second opinion.    Sweeney  shoulder  is  cWhen  this  nerve  is  damaged  which  was  the  case  with  Molly the  muscles  around  the  shoulder  started  to  waste  away,  so  much  so  that  you could  put  the  whole  of  your  hand  behind  her shoulder  blade!  Her  movement  was  greatly  impaired.    In  liaising  with  another  vet  he indicated  the  prognosis  was  varied,  but  if Molly  was  to  improve  she  needed  lots  of  rest  and  time  and  this  may  take  a  few  years.                      5 months  had  passed  and  Molly finally  started  to  put  pressure  on  the  leg,  which  was  a  good  sign  however  her  whole  body  was  aching because  of  having  to compensate.  She  was  sore  and  starting  to  get  cranky,  wanting  to  bit  &  kick.  There  was  still  major  muscle  wastage and I was concerned about what to do next to help Molly. It  was  at  this  stage  I  heard  about  Helen  and  her  work  with  Bowen  Therapy  and decided  to  try  this  modality  with  Molly.  Helen  worked with  Molly  over  a  period  of  10months,  treatments  were  fortnightly  in  the early  stages  but  as  Molly  started  to  improve  the  treatments were  less  frequent.  Molly  was  starting  to  do  her  own  rehabilitation, she was  keener  to  move  around  and  engaging  with  the  other horses,  she  was  also  in  less  pain.    Now  18months  after  the  initial  injury, Molly  is  walking  so  much  better  and  she  is  even  trotting  and cantering,  which  is  so  pleasing  to  see.  Her  condition  has  greatly improved,  her  muscle  bulk  and  strength  has  improved,  her  demeanour and  outlook  on  life  and  interaction  with  the  other  horses back  to  normal.  She  is  now  only  recovering  from  a  contracted  heel.  The  vet also believes that I may be able to ride Molly within the next 12 months; her improvement has been so amazing. What  I  have  realised  is  that  natural  therapies  certainly  have  something  to  offer our  beloved  horses.  I  am  so  glad  that  I  found  Helen  and tried Bowen Therapy and that Molly is an active part of my life once again.

I have known Helen Anderson for probably about 7 years and she has helped various dogs of mine over that time.  My ex-racehorse, Strider, recently became very lame. I suspected that he had slid over in the mud and injured his shoulder. He had a lot of trouble walking back to his stable and could only put a small amount of weight on the inside of his right forehoof.  I asked Helen to come and look at him as soon as possible and, as usual, Helen came over the next day to work on Strider.  Helen found that, not only had he strained his shoulder but his back and neck were also strained.  Poor Strider could hardly move. Helen worked on Strider for about an hour.  During this time he yawned a lot and sighed and groaned and yawned some more.  After his session Strider could walk out of the stable into his yard.  He looked as surprised as us!  
As Helen was going on holidays the next day for a fortnight, Strider didn't have any more sessions but he was so good he didn't need any anyway. Strider made a full recovery within a very short period of time.  I can't speak highly enough of Helen and Bowen Therapy and would recommend Helen (and I have numerous times) to anyone whose horse, dog or cat had any problems.

Helen has worked on a number of my horses and I think the work she does is amazing.
I live in the Sunshine Coast hinterland north of Brisbane, Helen lives in Sydney. Yet my horses have improved as a result of her kinesiology work being done at a distance. My older horse Dallas is now much better in his gait since Helen worked on him - so much that i have invested in some boots for him so that I can get him out doing more trail rides. Up until then I felt that he was too sore in the sacrum area to do more than short walks. But now that I see him galloping around the paddocks again I've decided he can get back into some more extended trail rides.
My younger horse Finnegan has been traumatised by a incident in the  forest which affected him physically, emotionally and mentally.  Helen did lots of Kinesiology work on him and recommended homeopathic and flower remedies. His knee returned to its normal size and he gradually let go of many of his new found fears. Helen's work also balanced him physically and I was amazed at how much she picked up that was going on for him physically. A stifle problem is considerably improved. It's amazing, and it works.

Henry & Indra have been clients of Animal Equilibrium for four years.

Indra  attended  the  Equine  Bowen  Therapy  Essentials  weekend workshop  in 2012  and  since  then  she  has  kept  Henry  healthy, flexible,  subtle  and  sound using her new found skills!

​Says  Indra  “Henry  loves  his  Bowen,  and  Bowen  Therapy  has helped  relax Henry and improve his overall movement . Helen  has treated  Henry  for  4  years  and  now  I  feel  so  pleased  to  be  able to use  some  of  these  skills  myself.
​
I  have  a  much  better  feel  for  when  he  is  not right  and  have Bowen  moves  to  help  correct  the  imbalances,  which  have  been invaluable".

Romy  has  been  treated  and  managed  by  Helen  for  about  a  year now  with Bowen Therapy.  He  previously  suffered  severe  back  and neck  soreness  even though  the saddle had been fitted and he had regular chiropractic sessions. Bowen  Therapy  has  meant  that  we have  been  able  to  continue  to  enjoy riding him  ,  knowing  that he  is  pain  free  thus  allowing  my  13yr  old daughter to  learn and compete  at  a  high  level  in  dressage.  Before  we  started  the Bowen  Therapy we  were  about  to  retire  him  as  we  just  could not  get  him right  no  matter  what we tried. Helen’s  intuitiveness with  Romy  allows  her  to understand  what  it  is  he  requires  in a treatment.  Recently  he  has  been  on flower  essence  remedies  to help  with  his anxious  nature  and  within  a  couple of  days  my daughters  and  I  had  noticed  a calmer  sweeter  horse.    We  also have  4  other  horses  that  we  compete  with  in dressage  and through  the  use of  Bowen  Therapy  and    Homeopathy  and  even Kinesiology  ,  we  have  been able  to  see  sustained  improvements in  our  horses health and performance. Thank you so much Helen.

I  just  wanted  to  write  and  thank  you  again  for  running  a  great  Module  1  in Bowen  last  weekend  in  Sydney.    I  tell  all  my  horsey  friends  about  it  and recommend  it  to  them  all!  Andrew  and  I  are  very  keen  to  do  Module  2  -  could you please keep us in the loop if a course is going to run in Sydney? I also  wanted  to  share  a  "good  news"  story  with  you  that  has arisen  from  our practice  of  our  new  skills!    We  have  a  12 year  old  Thoroughbred  mare,  Katey, who  fractured  her  pelvis in  2007  after  a  bad  fall  in  the  paddock  As  a  result  of the injury,  Katey  has  adopted  a  gait  that  involves  some  "pulling" herself  along with  her  front  legs  to  supplement  the  loss  of power  from  behind,  and  the outcome  of  this  pathological  gait pattern  is  that  she  tends  to  get  sore  all  over. After  one treatment  of  Bowen  we  have  already  noticed  differences  in the  way she  moves  and  runs  around  the  paddock  with  the others.  Her  demeanour  has changed as well. I  am  sure  as  we continue  to  use  our  Bowen  skills  from  the  course  ,  further improvements will be achieved. Thank you again!!!

Bambie is a 15yr old warmblood that has arthritis and ongoing hoof issues. Theresa  was  particularly  concerned  for  Bambi after  a  recent  move  to  a  new agistment  centre  where  she seemed  worse  in  her  movment  and  her  general demeanour had changed.
Theresa  says  
“Helen  gave  Bambie  Bowen Therapy  and  a  number  of homeopathic remedies  to  help  with her  arthritis  and  to  help with  her  hoof  health  and  flower essences  to  help  with  her adjustment  to  the  new  paddocks. Over  a  period  of   6  weeks and  after  3  Bowen  treatments, Bambie  is  back  to  her  normal self.  The arthiritis   remedies we   have   reduced   and   she   no  longer   takes   the   flower essences".

Thanks Helen for your ongoing support with Bambie

It   is   now   6   weeks   since   stating   on   the   homeopathic remedies   and   the lymphatic treatment  that you gave Raven . Physically  he  has  not  come  out  in  any  more  of  the  cysts  on  his neck  or  any where  else  that  I  have  noticed,  which  is  a  hugh improvement.  We  also  do  not have  any  sign  of  hoof  issues, abscesses  in  particular  which  has  also  been  part of the chronic infections he seemed to always get. He  does  seem  to  be    brighter in  himself  and  interested  in  what  is  going  on around  him  a  bit more  than  he  has  been  lately.  Certainly  interested  in  his feed which he has not been in the past. I  am  happy  with  his  progress so far.  He  seems  to  be  going  in  the  right direction.
Thanks for all your help.

Babycakes the hormonal mare
Picture
Prior  to  contacting  Helen  I  had  taken  my  horse,  Babycakes  to  the  vets  several  times  ,  scanned,  blood  checks,  ultra  sounds due  to her  persistent  hormonal  attitude.  She  would  go  from  stallion  like  behaviour  to    where  she  was  so  hormonal  she would  literally  rape the  fence  ,  her  stable  wall  anything  that  stood  solid  she  would  thrash  up  against  them  and  bang  her hips.  Her  overall  behaviour was  all  over  the  place  ,  I  had  also  noticed  she  had  a  large  lump  in  the  throat  which  became larger  when  she  was  in  season.  Vets scoped  her  and  said  nothing  was  wrong  and  all  tests  undertaken  came  back  normal other than her being an overly hormonal mare.
It  was  recommended  I  put  her  on  Regumate,  in  order  to  help  ,  however  I  elected  not  to  as  I  was  concerned  of  possible  side effects.  I  tried  Chase  Berry  and  whilst  it  gave  some  help  it  was  short  lived  and  I  kept  looking  for  alternate  treatments  as  I knew Babycakes  was  a  good  girl  but  just  needed  help  to  deal  with  her  hormonal  issues.  It  should  also  be  noted  that throughout all of this I was unable to ride her due to her unpredictable behaviour.
It  was  thanks  to  a  dear  friend  who  put  me  into  contact  with  Helen  that  Babycakes  life  has  turned  around.  During  our introduction when  I  described  Babycakes    Helen  was  the  first  person  who  picked  up  on  the  lump  in  the  throat,  everyone else said it was nothing to worry about and there was no correlation with her hormonal issues, how wrong they were.
Helen  sent  me  our  homeopathic  remedies,  particularly  Lachesis  in  different  potencies.  The  initial  dosage  was  given  over  a course  of five  days,  first  thing  in  the  morning  and  always  prior  to  food.  I  noticed  slight  changes  in  behaviour  and  she  did appear  to  be  more settled.  Coming  into  season  she  reverted  back  to  her  old  self    ,  thrashing  against  all  and  sundry  , following  Helen’sr  instruction  I gave  her  the  stronger  dosage,  which  worked  a  treat.  This  was  the  first  time  Babycakes  was able  to  stay  in  her  stable  of  a  night whilst  in  season  and  not  thrash  the  wall.  With  the  stronger  dosage  I  still  give  her  one dose  the  first  day  she  comes  into  season and  that  is  all  that  is  needed  to  reduce  her  symptoms.  With  Helens  help  I  have been  able  to  get  Babycakes  to  the  trainers,  where she  spent  four  weeks  and  did  not  put  a  foot  wrong.  I  now  have  her  at home and we are working towards  getting out and competing in the dressage arena.
I can not thank Helen enough for all she did for us, Babycakes is going from strength to strength.
