My name is Layla Harris. I was born and raised in California where my mom owned and operated a sales and training barn. I had the wonderful privilege of riding 100s of horses while growing up and to have my mom ingrain into me, that horses are sentient beings and high-performance athletes, that need care as an Professional Athlete might. For a horse, as with any professional athlete, it takes a vi
llage of experts who train both horse and rider, specializing in saddle fitting, nutrition, perfectly balanced hooves, teeth, and so on... and in this village, my role is to minister their health via a balanced mind, body, and spirit. It is all connected, as it is in us. Everything is energy. We always had the best vets, chiropractors, farriers, and so on. But something was still missing. When drugs or surgeries would not help the horse, we were left feeling hopeless and disempowered. That’s when I became motivated to seek out other possibilities! I began using red and infrared LED light therapy on my horses and got amazing results! Next came learning the importance of detoxing my horses and my curiosity lead me to search out and apply new and effective modalities. I’ve now been a professional BodyWorker since 2014, and my education continues as well as my desire to empower other horse lovers who may be wondering how they can become more self-reliant in their horse’s care. In July of 2019 I became a Certified Instructor to teach Holistic Horsework's Level 1 Clinics. As of March 2020, I became Certified to teach her Level 2 & 3 Clinics. In 2016 my husband and our 2 sons picked up and moved all the way to Texas to plant some roots. We now live in beautiful Central Texas and have added a new addition, our baby girl to complete our family! I have met and worked with many amazing human beings and their equine partners. I’m truly humbled and grateful by their openness and big hearts for entrusting me on their journeys!
More on about what I do;
Currently, I offer Holistic Equine BodyWork. I take a holistic approach and evaluate your horse from head to hoof. I use multiple modalities including acupressure, musculoskeletal unwinding, advanced applied kinesiology, essential oils, kinesiology tape, Cranial Decompression, Myofascial Release, and osteopathic type moves to help restore balance in your horses mind, body, and energy. My specialty is helping those with mysterious lamenesses as well as keeping your athlete tip-top for competition or comfortable in their retirement. No job is too big or too small. I then leave you, the horse owner, a report and some strategies/homework for continued success between visits! I've worked with, and have helped, hundreds of horses and their owners get to the "root" of many issues and strengthen their bond along the way!
I am not a vet nor chiropractor and I do not replace them. I like to think I help to fill in a few gaps between them, and as a whole, all of the bases will be covered on your horse's journey to healing and maintaining good health. I look forward to getting to know you and your herd! Contact me today to help your equine partner feel their best. Based in Central TX, will travel.
Happy Healing!
