OUR FACILITATORS


Allison Wheaton

Picture
Allison Wheaton is the Executive Director at Summit Equestrian Center in Fort Wayne, IN.  She grew up with horses and knows first hand the therapeutic benefits they bring to our lives.  Allison began her career in Equine Assisted Activities & Therapies because of the power that horses have to help people.  Initially, she was drawn to riding therapy for the physical benefits that horses bring children and adults of all abilities.  As her experience evolved, she watched her riders request to participate in ground based activities, craving the connection and learning opportunities that come when working with horses on a level playing field.  These experiences encouraged her to continue her education through the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA) and Eponaquest.  The dynamic environment that comes from being connected with a horse provides the opportunity for so much growth that it is humbling to facilitate.  Allison founded Summit Equestrian in 2010 and started collaborating with Motion For Life in 2014.  


Cathy Covell

PictureMotion For Life - Owner
Motion For Life is a clinic that I am blessed to be called the owner of, but I really feel I am actually a part of a wonderful family that makes this clinic special.  My educational background is as a Physical Therapist and a Massage Therapist, but my life history is one that involves my own journey recovering from chronic pain and returning not only to an active lifestyle, but a journey that has lead to healing of the mind, body and spirit.

I have been very fortunate to have a very diverse history in Physical Therapy.  I worked as a traveling physical therapist for 3 years in which I worked in Out-patient, in-patient, full rehab, trauma and ER settings along with neurological settings and in sports settings.  Along with this, I have spent years specializing in the John Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release.  Including working at John's Pennsylvania clinic for over 2 1/2 years.  

While at the Pennsylvania Center I was able to work along John and other highly skilled Myofascial Release therapists. We treated people from around the world with a multitude of diagnosises.  My experience has lead me to write books:  The Patient's Guide and The Therapist Guide to Understanding The John F. Barnes Approach to Myofascial Release- books that give simple answers to the most frequently asked questions about Myofascial Release.  And Feeling Your Way Through- which gives insights that I have learned on my healing journey.
 
I started Motion For Life in 2007 and am thrilled to see how it has grown and expanded.  And I feel very grateful that I am a part of the family here.


Jessica Heath

Picture
I am a Certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist and a Certified Equine Rehabilitation Therapist.  I began practicing traditional massage therapy in 2004, where I quickly saw the benefit of a more holistic approach to the well-being of the horses under my care.  In 2012, I joined the Motion For Life team and began developing the program that now services equines, canines, bovines, and a varied assortment of other athletes and pets.

My story includes my own struggle with limiting pain that, by the time I was in my mid-twenties, had severely impacted my quality of life.  Through the blessing of myofascial release therapy and the unique approach at Motion For Life, I have had my life and my physical comfort restored to me. 

I am proud to manage Motion For Life Integrated Animal Services because I know the power of our treatment modality to change a life.  Our animals' physical, emotional, and behavioral health are all integral components of their well-being.  At Motion For Life, we address each animal's needs individually, and fully invest in the outcome of your animal's treatment.  We look so forward to meeting you and your animals!


Lisa Freed
