Originally from Finland, her passion for horses led her to move to the Netherlands, where she has immersed herself in the equine industry. With a background in agricultural training, she has gained extensive experience in various facets of horse care and management.

Her journey in the equine field includes roles as a groom and home rider for professional show-jumpers, where she developed a deep understanding of the competitive aspects and the daily rigors of equine care. She is currently involved in a study on the Tellington TTouch method for animals, which focuses on techniques to improve the behavior, performance, and well-being of horses through a specific form of gentle bodywork and movement exercises.

In addition to her studies, she assists Robyn daily and is actively involved in rehabilitation services. Her work includes electro stimulation therapy, soft tissue therapies, and stretching exercises designed to help horses recover and maintain optimal function.

She is here to support Robyn and ensure the best care and management for the horses and her beloved canines, leveraging her skills and passion to contribute to their health and performance.

Johanna, a proud Swede, embarked on an adventurous journey from the picturesque landscapes of Sweden to the vast opportunities of America, fueled by her passion for horses. In the U.S., she worked extensively with jumpers and mastered the art of 4-in-hand combined driving. Her journey eventually led her to Belgium, where she not only found love but also a fulfilling life with her husband, three beautiful children, and a farm that keeps them connected to nature.

Holding a degree in animal nursing, Johanna’s quest for knowledge didn’t stop with her initial education. She delved deeper into the world of rehabilitation, anatomy, and physiology through a rigorous 600-hour Level 2 program in canine functional osteopathy at Animal Osteopathy International (AOI), where she earned a diploma in clinical competence. Mondays and Thursdays, Johanna is working with the horses. Every day is a learning experience for her, and she is immensely grateful for the opportunity to work alongside Robyn absorbing her invaluable insights and expertise in the field, which is also reflected in her daily routine with the horses under her managment at the farm. 

Ellen, an equine osteopath trained at the renowned Vluggen Institute in Germany, brings extensive knowledge of equine biomechanics and anatomy to her role. Her collaboration with Robyn began through their mutual engagement with B-E-St micro-current technology, where Ellen’s expertise in innovation and design greatly enhanced Robyn’s understanding of its applications for animals. Committed to the well-being and optimal performance of horses, Ellen employs a holistic approach tailored to each horse’s unique needs, focusing on preventive care and restoring balance after injuries. Her practice encapsulates a deep dedication to equine health, ensuring that every treatment is thoughtfully designed to support the horse’s overall health and functionality.
