Rachael is an Osteopathic manual therapist with a multi-species practice based in Northern California. She specializes in working with babies and youngsters, supporting healthy attachment and optimal developmental processes by working with the physiology and the nervous system. She works with all ages and has been in practice for over twenty years. I’ve had the honor of watching Rachael do manual therapy with horses, and it’s something to behold. The transformations are astonishing, even after the first session. I knew right away meeting Rachael that she brings a very unique, powerful skillset to the table. Rachael and I connected through horses and have been friends now for years. We have long said, “we need to record this on the podcast!” And finally in September of 2025 we sat down and recorded our first interview together. It’s taken a while to get the final episode out into the world, largely because Rachael and I are heavily fueled by inspiration and have three big collaborative projects in the works, which draw out our attention in many directions. So this long-awaited interview is something we’re both proud to put out there, and I hope that you enjoy hearing about Rachael’s story and the amazing work that she does.I encourage you to reach out to Rachael to connect with her more deeply. If you’re in Northern California, or a nearby region, and feel called to schedule a session, do it! When you do, you will know why I am blown away by this incredible woman.In this interview we talk about:+ Rachael’s early interactions with horses which helped shape her sense of self and provided a source of comfort through the turbulence of adolescence+ Her first career as a musician teaching music in special education classrooms offering nonverbal and mobility challenged children a way to engage and express themselves in a meaningful way+ Rachael’s bodywork studies and therapeutic education and her capacity to discern subtle things happening in the body early on+ How vices that horses develop may be adaptations from early interruptions including developmental delays, neglect, confinement, inadequate socialization or early imprints from birth / attachment injury+ Nervous system and weaning injuries with horses and the connection between problem behaviors and or disruptions in bonding and attachment + How the attachment experience shapes our capacity to inhabit our own body and form relationship + The importance of consent as a relational practice when doing manual therapy with horses+ How we can reorient to what is important to horses through noticing and taking part in their routines and rituals+ The question of what’s on offer in the horse-human relationship and how to be a good herd mate to your horseGratitude and Acknowledgements by Rachael:To my teachers and mentors who have guided and shaped my growth and development over the years. To my clients and students who continue to support me to put into practice and refine this work. There are a few people who I wish to name, and give special recognition to: Andrea Pfeiffer who watched me march purposefully out into the pasture as a young girl, to catch my lesson pony, holding a halter upside down in my outstretched arms. Thank you for believing in me and guiding me in the first decade of my riding and horsemanship journey. Elsa Sinclair for providing endless insight into the most subtle forms of listening and learning from horses. Because of you I have learned how to listen more deeply and recognize small cues and information with the horses in my life. You have helped me become a better parent and friend to my young horse. Your dedication to inquiry and exploratory spirit are an inspiration.Cyndi Lukk for saying YES and allowing me to learn from your herd of therapy horses. I cannot imagine a more well-suited bunch to guide my hands and my understanding in developing this work. My Parents for continuously and wholeheartedly supporting my dreams - even to this day. The gift of your love is immeasurable, and is with me always. To all the horses I have loved, thank you for all the life lessons… From my first pony Sky, to Boston Blackie my first eventing pony, and finally GT the gentle tall grey who helped me know myself more deeply. To Solstice for trusting me to be his mama, modeling how to meet adversity with creativity and curiosity, for bringing a spirit of peace and reverence into my life, and for calling me forward into a more powerful, coherent, steady, devoted version of myself.
