I am Ev from Evs Equine Services.
Ive been practicing equine sports massage and craniosacral therapy for 10 years, and more recently adding osteopathy to my tool box also.

I work throughout Tasmania and live in the south of tas with my husband, 3 kids, 4 horses and lots of farm animals on our small property.

In my limited spare time, I like to practice classical dressage on my andalusian cross new forest pony, Elvis. Some times heading out to competitions but mostly we just enjoy each other's company.

I love being involved with the ETAA on the committee to keep at the forefront of changes, improvements and ideas for the equine industry for the future of equine therapies.

Lainey Bowler is a Japanese Usui Reiki Master Teacher and certified Equine and Animal Reiki Practitioner, based in Ballarat, Victoria, with a lifelong love of animals and a deep, soulful connection to horses.
For over 30 years, horses have been at the heart of her world — through animal rescue, rehabilitation, and foster care, and through the gentle practice of energy healing, which has always been a part of her life. She has witnessed anxious and traumatised rescue animals come back to themselves, one calm breath at a time, as their nervous systems settle from fight-or-flight into a soft, restorative state.
This lifelong calling led Lainey to formalise her hands-on experience through dedicated study and accredited training. She holds a Certificate III in Animal Studies (TAFE, 2018), is an Associate Member of the Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA), and is a registered IICT (International Institute for Complementary Therapists) practitioner. Her equine Reiki studies included several months of practical hours in Australia, followed by a deeply personal 2024 immersion training day with Equine Reiki Scotland, where she worked alongside wild Spanish mustangs. That experience deepened her conviction that horses, as sentient beings, deserve autonomy, trust, and the freedom to thrive in partnership with their humans.
As a member of the ETAA committee, Lainey is honoured to contribute to the Association's mission of upholding certification, duty of care, knowledge, and the continued lifting of standards across equine therapy. She is passionate about helping people build trusting, enriching partnerships with their horses through the mind–heart–spirit connection — healing hearts and restoring trust, one breath at a time.

Maggie started Evolution Equine Services in 2018, but has been working professionally with horses in one way or another for over 20 years. She has practical experience riding and training horses professionally across multiple equine disciplines, including liberty training for film and live performance, eventing and classical dressage.

She practices bodywork in South East Queensland, and is in the process of adding new modalities to her toolbox. She also holds a Bachelor of Education Studies. Her curiosity and interest led her down the path of anatomy, biomechanically correct movement and tensegrity. She now specialises in anatomical research and education with skeletons and dissection, but massage and helping horses feel better still remains the backbone of what she does and why she does it.
