ABOUT ME

Andrea Bigatti

Foto mia I grew up in a small town, near the City of Buenos Aires called Ranchos. My relatives had a farm with livestock, and they had horses to carry out their daily work. Here begins my passion with horses. As a child I had the happiness of being able to have pets, and sometimes the absence of veterinarians made me face their loss as well… There I developed the intense desire to help heal these creatures that give us so much without condition… I don't remember exactly when it was, but as I got older the need to be able to help animals was reinforced. I started the university of Veterinary Sciences, focused on my goal. I was halfway through it when I developed terrible lower back pain, there was no position that would help me feel better, the muscle relaxants that I had prescribed were the only thing that could reduce the pain. I went to the best spine and foot clinics and institutes, and various treatments... but the pain was still latent and I lived in fear that it would return with the intensity that I had already known. In 2008 the opportunity arose to travel to New Zealand to gain experience working with large animals for some time. Thus, one day while working with a horse, I received a kick that left me on the ground, almost unable to walk from the pain... That's how I got to know Irma, she worked with DPPT in humans, this technique that for those who can observe from a chair, seems like just small touches on the body, that doesn't hurt and really for my mind (which until then was super rational) was just a kind of relaxation... But the pain went away, and to this day it never came back. I have two beautiful daughters that I have carried in my womb for 9 months, and I never had back pain... So, that's how I began to investigate the study of this therapy, I wanted to achieve that! But in animals... I studied Acupressure, then I specialised in equines and Aromatherapy. I learned DPPT applied to the animal... and finally, noticing the need for a change in the diet of my patients on many occasions, I specialised in Equine Nutrition. Today I work from the centre of my knowledge, my passion and my love for what I do, and I receive in return the joy of seeing how my patients improve, and how their owners (especially if they are pets) enjoy it with me.
