Instructor Bio:

Dr. Angelique Barbara (affectionally called Dr. Angel by many of her clients) is a Doctor of Chiropractic who holds additional degrees in Veterinary Science (B.S.), Equine Science (Minor) and Veterinary Pathobiology (M.S.).  Dr. Barbara has been passionate about animals her entire life and has spent the majority of her life studying animals (both in the classroom and in the field).  She developed her first animal bodywork seminar in 2009.  Since that time, her seminars have grown both in number and popularity and she has fine tuned her seminars and techniques to optimize the learning experience.  Dr. Barbara was one of the first practitioners to start utilizing kinesiology tape on animals and she was so impressed with the results that she decided to develop an entire seminar dedicated to the taping applications she developed.  Her background in both the clinical and research animal health care world as well her experience as a human chiropractor give her a unique perspective on animal bodywork, which is evident in her courses. Dr. Barbara has publications in the Journal of Veterinary Science and Microbiology and has presented her research at the Conference of Researchers in Animal Disease (CRAWD) and the International Equine Conference of Laminitis and Diseases of the Hoof.  She is a member of Alpha Zeta Honorary Fraternity, American Quarter Horse Association, American Paint Horse and is the founder of Angel's Animal Sanctuary, a non-profit sanctuary home for animals.

Instructor Bio:

Morgan was born and raised in Alberta and has remained a resident of Parkland County for the last 10 years. She had dreams of becoming a veterinarian, but then thought "Oh man, too much school!", so took her path to becoming a veterinary technician. But her fascination and dedication to animal care has driven her into the realm of offering various remedial therapies for horses and dogs, and even cats too! Her journey into all of this truly started for caring for her own horses, and realizing how much our horses deserve the best dedicated care. She recently had the opportunity to work with Dr. Angelique, a person she looks up to in the therapist world. She wanted to bring the raindrop treatment to light for other therapists. After being introduced to this modality and using it on her personal horse consistently, she was amazed on how well it paired with his ongoing arthritic issues. She poured her soul into researching the modality and performing it to feel confident it would benefit other practitioners alike to be able to offer to their patients.
