My ConTact C.A.R.E experience
​
My first ConTact C.A.R.E experience was in 2010. My husband had a treatment for a rugby injury, he walked away pain free. I decided to book a treatment for an ongoing back injury. It has given me a lasting result and really sparked my interest. The explanation I was given as to why my back was sore made so much sense. I could feel the changes, the farm work was so much easier. My interest has always been in natural forms of healthcare and I just needed to know more about ConTact C.A.R.E. Jo Vickers, practitioner and now partner in the cow work, told me about the courses. I did my first course in 2012 and walked away with tools I could use straight away to work on my family as well as our animals.
I was impressed by the reactions of the animals and the issues resolving. In 2013, as I started to get serious about the cow work, Dale suggested treating every cow that calved. The cows seemed to ”bounce back” a lot quicker resulting in less problems. This has evolved to being asked to co-develop the Bovine Division of Contact C.A.R.E, to research, and alongside Jo, this continues today. Based on these years of research, and recording of the results, we have refined the method to be used by both Farmers and Practitioners of Contact C.A.R.E
I opened a ConTact C.A.R.E clinic in Thames in June 2016, together with a now retired practitioner, where I continue to work today.
