With a natural flair for teaching Janine offers 1 on 1 Private Riding lessons or Riding Coaching sessions if you can already ride, on experienced school masters or on your own horse. From riding around obstacles, to learning the basics, to hacking out in the forest or on the beach, to learning to jump or master dressage. Horse riding is just like dancing, and Janine often uses dancing (among othe

r things) to help her customers clearly understand what it is she is asking them to do. Contact Janine now to take your riding to the next level.

Christchurch, I am hosting my Keep It Simple Wellness workshop for FREE this coming Saturday.

Yes, you - the horse rider, you need to look after yourself as well as you look after your horse ;)

It is very easy to get overwhelmed with all the information out there, so what usually happens, is nothing, because of information overload.

Janine, (a former Royal Navy Physical Training Instructor) specialises in presenting information in a 'Keep It Simple' format, and using analogies that makes things easy to understand.

Janine sits on the autistic/ADHD spectrum and was born with a compromised immune system so....
A) She has to look after herself
B) She has to have a system that works and is easy to follow
She has worked and helped many people over the years get to grips with navigating modern day living, and has decided to put it into a workshop setting so she can share this information with more people.

Things that will be addressed:
* The system itself (what to do and how to use the information being imparted)
* Sleep Health
* Mental Health
* Basic Nutrition
* Weight Management
* Movement and its importance
* Supplementation

So if you are that person who knows they should be doing better, but gets overwhelmed, this is the workshop for you
This is a FREE event (this time only) x

I am in Rakaia THIS Sunday (15th) if anyone wants a WOW saddle re-fit, or try a 2nd hand one, or want some body work doing on their horse.

I am trained in Acupressure and Equine Touch, but I also tie that in with energy work and pulsing.

Please let me know asap as spaces are filling up fast !
