September 09, 2024 Superior Therapy Story & Marketing Tips
I just rolled all of my best equine therapy marketing tips into one convenient, Hopeful Has-Been podcast... If you're not familiar with the story of Superior Therapy and the hurdles we had to climb to get to where we are, the first half of this podcast will let you in on all of our secrets. I get really vulnerable about some of the hardships and how they paved the path to where I am today.
The second part of this episode is for the person who has built or is building their small business and is looking for tips and tricks of the trade. Where I felt like I spent money poorly. Where I had good advertising return and branding secrets that have helped me succeed. How to attract your ideal client and more.
It's a long one... But this is the kind of information most people charge for.

September 03, 2024 Horse Owner's Guide to Acupuncture, Acupressure & Traditional Chinese Medicine
I'm so excited to share this episode of The Hopeful Has-Been! I'm interviewing Acupuncturist and Acupressure Educator, Lori Perez of Crowning Touch Clinics and team leader for Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Resources .
We are covering one of my favorite topics... Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupressure for the Performance Horse. If you've ever been curious about acupuncture, acupressure, or the TCM way of thinking... This podcast will give you a great foundation to begin learning. If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with bridging the gap between Eastern & Western ways of thinking.
We also talk about how simple it is for every horse owner to learn acupressure techniques to use for their own horses. It's not physically demanding, can be combined with therapy equipment, and helps to create balance within the body. We also cover some specific conditions like Non-Sweating, Bleeding, Soft Tissue Injuries, EPM... from a TCM thought process.
We also have an amazing offer for our Podcast listeners. Tallgrass is offering 20% off the online course: Intro to Traditional Chinese Medicine through Sept. 15th when you use the coupon code: STPOD
What a great opportunity to start your learning journey! I've personally completed all of their online courses and two of their onsite courses. I highly recommend them to everyone.
Tallgrass Online Courses can be found at: https://www.animalacupressure.com/
For In-Person Learning opportunities with Lori, check out: https://ctattheranch.com/
We also have some Superior Therapy educational opportunities in the works for next year that will combine my rehab-focused education with Lori teaching TCM/Acupuncture. So if you are a current student or graduate of my program, you will not want to miss this new course we are bringing your way. Details coming very soon, so watch our Facebook for updates.

September 02, 2024 Horse Owner's Guide to EPM
On this episode of The Hopeful Has-Been Podcast, I tackle one of my favorite topics.... EPM. This makes probably the 4th or 5th podcast episode on this topic, my others feature Dr. Sam Crosby, but this one is a solo episode on my experiences as a rehab therapist. Hear about a few of my favorite EPM cases from our facility, get a history of EPM, learn about the different strains, and get some rehab tips. I tried really hard not to duplicate the same questions that get asked in all of the episodes with Dr. Crosby. So if you asked questions and I didn't answer them, check on our previous episodes or the EPM video playlist on the Superior Therapy video tab. I also reference the book: "Understanding EPM" by David E. Granstrom. It's not longer in print but can usually be found on used bookstores online. I hope you enjoy this episode and I hope that it helps expand your mind to better understand what your horse is going through. If you have a question that I didn't answer, feel free to comment it below and I will do my best to answer as long as it's not one that could be considered diagnosing.
