Integrated Equine Therapies

Tom Mayes

Integrated Equine Therapies (IET), founded by Tom Mayes, is recognized for its effectiveness, depth of information, and unparalleled educational value in the horse industry. This approach uncovers answers hidden beneath the surface—patterns of imbalance that are often overlooked or misunderstood but impact the horse’s movement, health, and spirit. With decades of refined techniques and an integrative approach, this work transforms how challenges are addressed, creating lasting change for both the horse and the person.

IET uses advanced hands-on methods such as Acupressure TCM, Applied Kinesiology, CranioSacral & Osteopathic Techniques, Reiki, and Intuition to address dysfunction at its source. This approach goes beyond conventional practices, helping practitioners identify and resolve imbalances while enabling a deeper, more meaningful connection with the horse.

Unlock Your Full Potential

Imagine having the tools to truly understand your horse—not just their physical needs, but the deeper patterns that affect their movement, health, and spirit. We offer more than instruction; we guide you toward seeing the horse in a whole new way. Whether you're seeking answers for challenges that others can’t solve or looking to deepen your connection, this work is about transformation—for the horse and for you.

The journey starts here.

Why take our courses?

Our courses don’t just teach techniques—they open the door to a deeper, more meaningful connection with the horse. The core causes of lameness and dysfunction often run deeper, rooted in emotional and spiritual imbalances. By learning to truly connect with the horse, you’ll begin to understand and clear those hidden patterns. This work transforms not only the horse but also the practitioner, making these courses essential for anyone committed to creating lasting change and real healing.

What our students are saying…

“The Foundation Course was probably one of the best courses I have taken. The instructors (Tom and Yolanda Mayes and the TAs) are phenomenal, the experience totally immersive, and I loved meeting the other students in the course.  I have taken many integrative medicine courses before this, but this one is actually integrative.  The Foundation course takes aspects of acupuncture, craniosacral, osteopathy, and energy medicine, working synergistically from a whole-horse approach and recapturing the essence of what healing truly should be.”

“Had the best 5 days helping out as a teacher’s assistant at the Integrated Equine Therapies 5-day intensive Clinic with Tom Mayes. I have more tools to add to my box and got to see so much transformation happen between humans and horses. It was incredible! I’m so grateful to Tom Mayes and Yolanda Mayes for sharing their calling to teach others. You can see and feel their passion for empowering people and the horses to be the best versions of themselves by awakening the essence of who we truly are.”

Jennifer Frew

“Went to a very enlightening clinic last week in Placerville. It was with Tom Mayes and his wife Yolanda Mayes. He is extraordinary and other worldly. He has developed the gift inside of himself in ways that we should all aspire to. The way he feels into and heals horses feels ancient from earthly guided intelligence. He validated so much of how I have felt about a lot of layers of life. His wife Yolanda is also a special soul with true gifts of healing and intuitive knowing! We shared some special healing that was punctuated with a visit from a praymantis that stayed with me for over an hour. They combine a lot of modalities along with intuitive energy to assess and help the horses and humans.

So glad I attended this clinic and I feel expanded and look forward to developing and practicing all that I absorbed over the last week. Feeling grateful for all that I was gifted with the other humans and horses I met and all I experienced”

“Tom and Yolanda put on great classes that are full of education, compassion, and understanding toward the equine. They are supportive and easy to communicate with. I always walk away from their classes with a “wow!” feeling.”

Hilary Van Tatenhove

“It was an awesome course. Both Tom and Yolanda have such great healing gifts, and they are willing and eager to share their knowledge and expertise. I loved the course, learned so much, and met some amazing ladies who each brought their own skills, which Tom helped to enhance and expand can’t wait for the next course.”

Laurel Hawton

“I had a great experience learning in Tom’s CST classes. So much knowledge and such deep empathy for the horses. Could not have asked for a better teacher. He and Yolanda work well as a team, and each gives unique perspectives on healing and wellness.”

Hilary Haynie

“I’m still whirling from this Foundational Techniques Clinic – in a good way! This is just the beginning of my awakening and spiritual journey toward finding my passion & purpose in this life. It’s abundantly clear to me now that horses are definitely my passion and have been since I was about 3 years old. And although I don’t think my career will lead me toward my passion for horses, I’m certain my life will always have space & time for them in some capacity or another. So grateful to have found Integrated Equine Therapies & Tom and Yolanda Mayes. Thank you for your love, patience, and willingness to share your passion and knowledge of horses and bodywork with us. I have no words to explain how much it is appreciated and valued. I feel so honored to have been a small part of such a sacred ritual and dance that was created during this clinic between humans and horses. Truly life-changing for me. As Tom says, Be bold and I’ll add, shine bright.”
