About Alara

Maui. Still not knowing what I wanted to do next. But horses called me back to them, the way they've done more than once in my life.

I found work with a woman who kept a large herd, and not long after I started, she brought in someone who did bodywork on the horses. I was wowed. I knew right away I wanted to do that too.

I graduated from the Animal Physiotherapy Institute in England, and moved to Colorado to work on horses full time.

That's when another door opened. While I was building that career, the horses started teaching me about energy work. I listened, and started studying different modalities, working with the horses as I learnt. Then they started to communicate with me. That took me a moment to fully accept, and another moment to be willing to share with clients.

I was guided again, and shifted toward working with people instead of animals. I had real resistance to that. I listened anyway.

I started with the people already connected to the animals I worked with, one on one. That grew into group work, courses, full online programs, years of it.

The horses called me back once more, after all that time working with people. This time, the invitation was to work alongside them.

That's Held By the Herd. Horses and energy work, the same two things that have called me back my whole life, now paired with a neuroscience-based method called MAP, so the work reaches the body, the nervous system, and the pattern underneath.
