Dr. Jacobson never outgrew her childhood passion for horses. Her dream starting at the age of 7 to become a veterinarian finally came to fruition at the age of 35. Throughout undergrad and into veterinary school, she knew she wanted to concentrate on horses. Though all animals hold a very special place in her heart, the horses are really her calling. While in veterinary school, she was exposed to ideas and methods “off the beaten path.” She intuitively knew there were other methods of healing in addition to traditional western medicine. Though the art of practicing medicine is a lifelong journey, Dr. Jacobson made a commitment to herself while in school to work hard for at least 5 years learning all she could during that time about Western medicine. Then to start expanding the healing process with other methods. True to her committment, that is exactly what happened and about 5 years after graduating, she started attracting her future teachers. These teachers were/are instrumental in expanding Dr. Jacobson’s world of healing. Now, many years after veterinary school graduation she is motivated by her deep passion for the horse and for her equally deep passion in assisting to heal and help the horse be it’s healthiest. She feels strongly that there can and should be a balance between traditional western medicine and other methods of healing, no one modality holds all the answers for every patient. And to be the best healer she can be, requires as many tools as can be accumulated both in a traditional sense and in a non traditional sense. The amount and our access to knowledge in this day and age can be overwhelming. We are bombarded on a daily basis with new discovery’s and a resurgence of old methods; to sort through it all can be quite a daunting task. Dr. Jacobson’s mission in being a healer is to amass as many tools as possible and always keep an open mind to the seemingly impossible. The body is amazing and it’s inherent desire to be well is often overlooked or overpowered by some of our traditional methods and medicines. At the same time, there are times when the body needs more extreme “nudges” to heal itself. it is continually inspiring and amazing to see what just a gentle nudge does to awaken the bodies inherent healing abilities.
