I am always happy about my clients giving me feedback. As the energetic treatment often times is a very intense and thus also a rather private and personal experience for all participants, I am especially thankful for some of my clients permitting me to publish their personal experiences about the treatment of their horses.  The references give you a better picture of my work and help me to continuously improve my treatments.

If you also want to share your experiences about an energetic and/or osteopathic treatment with other people, please feel free to send me your feedback (with a picture of you and your horse). I would appreciate it a lot! Here you can contact me.

I am so incredibly thankful for all the great people and their extraordinary horses that I may support with my work.

Lotti – transformed!

Dear Stéphanie,

Lotti and we thank you so much that you have returned Lotti back to life with your loving nature, your ability and your knowledge. You have transformed an introverted, languid and sluggish horse into an open-minded, cheerful and motivated mare. Lotti and we have once again a lot of fun during our training, when cuddeling or when we play together. Lotti’s shift is incredible. On top of that, we are generally glad that we have meet you. Thank you so much for everything!

Best regards from Lotti, Carola, Joanna, Momo und Anjily

Casper – new body awareness.

My Mecklenburg gelding (21 years old) hat problems with bending and difficulties activating his hind legs when doing a full out canter or an extended trot.

From moment one of the treatment he responded very well (chewing, yawning, licking …). After 1,5 hours, when the treatment came to an end, my riding participation had an entirely new horse :-), which showed itself in the following: After three days of resting, we rode him for the first time again. I was anxious if I would see a difference… and what can I say: YES!!!

Even though I am skeptical, my horse has convinced me. In the beginning of the riding session, he walked like on eggshells and had obvious difficulties with his balance. I had the distinct feeling that he had to reconcile himself and my weight, like we had to recapture our balance. My riding participation had the same experience. this continued for about a week and then suddenly… an entire new feeling of riding my horse. He finally “understands” his body and he showed this for example by having more freedom in the shoulder, thus developing thrust from the hind to the front and picking up his front legs, which so far, he hadn’t done. Also, dressage movements that we hadn’t even dared to dream about were suddenly possible. It is obvious that he feels comfortable in his own skin and that bending and turning is much easier now.

All things considered, it is always an interplay between appropriate riding (unfortunately, a lot of different views exist on this topic) and the physical condition of all participants. Without a doubt, Stéphanie has contributed a lot to Casper’s physical well-being. Now it’s all about us being able to keep up this result as well as possible and do our homework.

I can recommend Stéphanie from the bottom of my heart.

Sauvignan – we are impressed!

thank you very much for your amazing treatment of my horse Sauvignan. Already the first manipulations showed enormous reactions by Sauvignan. His hips are once again in the correct position and his interference fields (scars) have been removed. We (my horse and I) are impressed and can recommend her a lot. Hopefully, a lot of other horses will benefit from Stéphanie’s treatment. “The one that heals, is in the right” – this sentence is absolutely true and appliable to Stéphanie’s way of healing horses.

Best regards, Marvin

3 show horses – not incurable after all

My name is Giorgia Kolias, I am 25 years old and work as a show and trick rider. I met Stéphanie only recently, way too late if you ask me, because she was able to help my horses a lot during the last couple of months. I am extremely relived, thankful and impressed.

But let’s start at the beginning. Corona has hit me (being an artist) extremely hard – not only financially. Due to the fact that I was supposed to be on tour, I placed my horse Luín (my soulmate and at that point also my only horse) in the care of a friend in Spain. In the beginning, I was able to visit him regularly, but due to the shutdown, which here in Spain lasted for 3-4 months, I was unable to see neither Luín nor my youngster Lord. While Lord was taken care of ok, my 18-year-old Luín was left nearly unattended in his stable.

When I was finally allowed to visit my horses, Luín was in a catastrophic state : His hoofs were too long, he was fat, bedraggled-looking and seemed to be immensely sad. He looked 35 years old and I was shocked to the bone. When I saw him only months before, he was in an absolutely amazing state. He had severe episodes of osteoarthritis and was regularly absolutely lame (at times, he wasn’t even able to walk). By lots of medical attention, care and special shoeing his state improved a lot, but he still wasn’t doing okay. He was sad, weak, unmotivated and never completely sound. I was absolutely desperate and given the advice to retire my horse, which I really did consider.

In the meantime, I rescued a mare from Portugal. Coralina was kept alone in a garden of her owner and was given garbage to eat. As such, she looked okay and after going to the dentist, being dewormed and given the correct feed, she started to wake up a little. However, she was still very stiff, extremely inflated, somehow als very unmotivated and introverted and also her cough simply wouldn’t go away.

I also booked a session with my youngster Lord. Right after his castration, he had to go on a long trip (due to unfortunate circumstances it lasted nearly 2 weeks) and suffered from a persistent tendon injury. He just had a lot of problems after this odyssey.

Stéphanie was recommended to me by a friend and I immediately booked an appointment for my horses. And what can I say? All three are bursting with new energy and are super motivated in their work. I am super thrilled by HOW WELL the treatment has worked. My Luín behaves like he is a 5-year-old. He is happy, in top form and motivated. Retirement canceled! I could cry so happy am I. It is so nice to see him like this every day, to see him running towards me and urging me to work him first. I am so incredibly thankful; I can’t even describe it.
Likewise, Coralina has become a different horse. She is really awake, interested in her surroundings, sociable, outgoing and motivated. Also, her movements are much more fluent and freer. Once again, I am absolutely in awe of her daily improvements and can’t believe how much Stéphanie’s treatment has changed her for the better.

Lord is doing much better as well. Because he had had so many problems, we are currently waiting for our follow-up treatment. We are very much looking forward to it!

What I noticed in general is how extraordinary well my horses react to Stéphanie. The way they look at her, how they greet her and make contact. Especially my Luín, who normally is rather wary with strangers. I am impressed and enthralled! From Stéphanie as a person, her handling of horses and her knowledge und healing abilities.

I am glad to have found Stéphanie, because she has helped me and my team to get back on our feet. Now, we can start training again for all the shows and events to come!

We are a big fan of Stéphanie and equi-librium and I recommend her and her services with all my heart!
Much love, Luín, Lord, Coralina & Georgie

Susi – vices or hints.

I have to say that I was rather skeptical when it comes to animal communication, but that I have nonetheless always been interested in this topic. Due to a special offer I became aware of Stéphanie and her animal communication. Long story short: I dared try it. There were a couple of “vices” and things that my mare did, to which I had no explanation.

When I was sent the written report by Stéphanie after the animal communication I was truly amazed. How did Stéphanie know my mare so well? How did she know the situations with my mare in such detail? When had she been observing us?

Whatever… I was touched by the words my mare told Stéphanie. It became apparent that the vices of my mare where no vices after all, but had an underlying cause. That knowledge made it easier for me to assess certain situations and handle them better.

It’s a fact that ever since Stéphanie got in touch with my horse, my mare has become much more friendly and outgoing. We are becoming a real team. Handling and training are much more fun now, because she is so much more motivated.

Thank you very much Stéphanie. I would have never thought that something like this is possible and that it actually made such a difference. However it works, Susi and I will gladly ask you for help again if need be.

Candlelight – horse with laminitis.

Heronvalley Candlelight has had her last laminitis rwaction in May 2016.

My horse has reacted very well to Stéphanie’s lympathic and meridian massage. I have never really believed in “energetic healing” and have been positively surprised! Ever after the treatment my horse has been completely changed: Finally, she wants to work again and is full of energy.

As directed by Stéphanie, I have continued giving Candy lympathic massages and the effect has been incredible. Candlelight has been much more relaxed and there was a lot of nasal running (draining lymphe). Her congestion in her back decreased and she finally has a visible spine.

I very much appreciated Stéphanie explaining her work to me step by step and thereby integrating me in the treatment. This enabled me to better identify and making sense of the (to me) “strange behavior” of my mare (chewing, licking, yawning and shaking).

Stéphanie has given my horse as much time as she needed to process the changes taking place in her system. Without time pressure or rush, my mare was able to fully relax and succumb to the treatment.

I have changed the feeding of my horse according to Stépahnie’s feed testing and consulting. From now on, Candlelight only gets hay (in portions), grain-free cereal, carrots and dried rosehips, and every once in a while, an apple. My horse is doing very well with the new feeding style. She keeps her weight and is able to perform well when being ridden.

A little tip from my side: If your horse doesn’t eat dried rosehips just like that, just chop them up with a food processor and mix it in with the rest of the feed.

Surtsey – an entirely new feeling

Because I am so enthusiastic, I would like to shar with you the energetic treatment of my Islandic mare Surtsey. Stéphanie is very empathetic and has taken a lot of time for a preliminary talk about the problems and of course also nearly 2 hours for the treatment. My mare was attentive from the start and fully engaged in the various treatment methods.

After the treatment, there was a day of rest and three relaxing days with only light work from the ground. I have already noticed positive changes in Surtsey’s movements on those first 4 days. On the 5th day after the treatment I rode again and had the absolute wow effect. I have never seen my mare so relaxed in her body. The otherwise always existing basic tension or tension in my horse’s body suddenly no longer exists . You can clearly feel how the movements can now finally truely flow through the whole body. For me a completely new feeling when I’m in the saddle.

Stéphanie has absolutely convinced me with her knowledge and the results of her energetic therapy, feed testing and animal communication. I can really recommend her.

Gina – she just goes nuts sometimes.

I’ve found Stéphanie page and her services by change through one of her offers in animal communication. For some reason, I always found it intriguing that people were able to speak to animals. But how does that work? Due to negative experiences with animal communication, I didn’t really believe such a thing possible. I thought that these animal communicators were simply good observers of people. Anyways, I thought to give it another try with Stéphanie as she doesn’t know neither me nor my horse. I had a couple of questions for me horse, for example why does my horse Gina reacts in certain situations in a specific way.

So, I decided to write Stéphanie and only tell her as little as possible about my horse. And what can I say? Stépahnie has pleasantly surprised me a lot with her statements. How does she know about the situations I experienced with my horse? She hasn’t been present. The way she described them though shows my horse’s character just like she is.

I have to say that Gina has been much more attentive and happier ever after Stéphanie has talked to her. Also, some of her “special behaviors” have gotten les and we get along much better than before. Also, I handle certain situations with much more calmness, because now I know that in these situations Gina just wants to act up (without there being a real reason behind it).

Thank you Stéphanie for having given me some more insights so that my horse Gina and I can grow together even more. I can highly recommend Stéphanie if you have any problems with your horse. She’ll really help you and you can write her anytime. She truly takes her time to reply in-depth. Thank you very much!

Nani – distrust in person.

6 years ago, my husband (Michael) and I (Heike) moved to Spain and my biggest wish was to have mules and donkeys. I have experience with horses for over 18 years and I have left my own Tinker back in Germany when we moved to Spain, as he really loves winter and I didn’t want him to have to adjust to the (hot) Spanish climate.

Once we arrived in Spain, I quickly found what I was looking for. We were offered a lovely female mule. She was 10 years old, broken-in, knew how to draw a carriage and well-behaved at the black smith. His kids had already ridden the mule, at least that was what the seller told us. She was shy, had a halter with a 5 meter long rope attached to it (in order to catch her). But that didn’t scare me off. How wonderful! I had fallen head over heels for this petite mare with the beautiful eyes and the lovely big ears! I was so euphoric and bought her (together with a still green mule of 3 years of age so that she won’t be on her own).

After she settled in with us, I quickly realized that Nani really didn’t like people. She didn’t want anything to do with us at all. She refused to do anything and the panic in her eyes, when I wanted to work with her, gave me a good hint to what this poor creature already had endured in her life. When it was time for the blacksmith to come, we all felt terribly sick already a day ahead. She regularly tore down half of the barn every time he came. When walking past us, she would deliberately try to kick us. My husband didn’t dare enter the pasture anymore.

The former owner of Nani told us later that he had already sold the mule 6 times before. Every single time, she was returned to him in exchange for another animal!! She was often sold to gypsis, who maltreated her. I swore to myself in that moment that I he won’t get Nani ever again. No matter what!

We often thought of giving Nani away, but whereto? Who would take such a disturbed animal? At that time, I saw a little donkey. He was just a few months old and was supposed to go to the slaughterhouse. It was horrible! I bought the small fellow and put him into the pasture with the two mares. And Nani took care of him immediately. Caring and attentive she mothered the young donkey, whom we later named Platero. The other mare was not allowed anywhere close to him. It seemed like that was her calling. She became a little calmer but her mistrust of humans remained the same. She wouldn’t let anybody touch her und catching her (for e.g.  a vet’s appointment) had to be carefully planed long in advance.

In spring 2019, a friend of mine told me about Stéphanie, an energetically working osteopath from Germany who currently was traveling Spain and treating horses. I immediately had to think of Nani. She was always so tensed. I would be worth a try, I thought. I wrote to Stéphanie and asked her if she would be willing to come by to treat my animals – in the meanwhile we had a total of two ponies, two donkeys and one mule in our barn. She said that she would come and made her way to our finca.

After I told her all about Nani, we went to see her down in the barn. Nani became very calm during the treatment und Stéphanie was working purely energetically for quite some time. I was standing next to Nani during the treatment. Suddenly, I became deeply sad, the tears streamed down my face! I had no idea what was happening. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. Apparently, Stéphanie has given me some sort of access to Nani! I could feel her like never before! Really explaining or describing what happened is impossible. When Stéphanie told me that Nani was terribly afraid of having to leave us again, I knew exactly what had to be done. I had to explain to her and promise that she would never have to leave us and that she could stay forever.

I immediately felt the changes in Nani! We were able to touch her and she was truly friendly to my husband and me. When my friends arrived a few days later, Nani turned towards them, friendly and curious, and even allowed them to touch her, I was buffled! Likewise, my friends were utterly amazed. It was unbelievable for all of us. At the next appointment with the black smith, he was wondering what tranquilizer we gave Nani (obviously none). She was calm and didn’t flinch once – incredible! And this is still the case up to today. She is friendly and relaxed. Her tension is gone. She is happy. That is the most important thing to us! Never ever would I have imagined the treatment to work such a miracle. I am so thankful that Stéphanie has helped my mule Nani so much, and thereby naturally helped all of us as well!

Once again, thank you so much Stéphanie!

Capricho – resolving past traumas.

Capricho has had a colorful background with previous owners that I know nothing about, but his sometimes nervous reactions show a lot. So, when Stéphanie used some of her techniques on him, it was very interesting to see his response. When she was working on him, I could see how relaxed he was becoming and as she moved across his body, I could see significant changes in his posture. When she had finished, we both watched as he was internally processing what had just happened. Stéphanie explained to me that his twitching was him resolving past traumas. One of the long-term effects since the treatment has been a noticeable reduction in his mouthing and chomping. This has been a consistent problem since he arrived – both vet and dentist had previously said it was just a learned habit that he was stuck with. He has since been calmer and a much more relaxed horse.

Stéphanie has created a video about her energetic work, in which she also tells the story about Capricho.

Yuca – hope & confidence.

I am thanking you from all my heart. I have been very skeptical about animal communications and the like. Luckily enough, I dared to give it a try.

You have described reactions and emotions of my horse so precisely, without you knowing her. You have described her likes and dislikes (long walks).

The animal communication has supported me in my findings and has shown me a way to help my dear horse.

As of yesterday, I have been readings the written report over and over again… I am deeply touched; it makes me sad and at the same time it gives me a lot of hope and confidence to finally be able to do the right thing.
