There is very little you need to do before an AIT session, except to help me time a session on a day when your animal is not expected to be over-exerted. Normal daily exercise is fine.
Ideally a session should take place when and wherever your animal feels comfortably fed, relaxed and safe, in his or her normal environment.
After the session, look out for any changes so you can give me feedback. Sometimes behavioural or physical problems can appear to worsen before getting better (a 'healing crisis'), as energy has shifted and is being released. With trauma work this may be more likely, but is perfect natural and a sign that something has shifted. If you notice this, just give your animal some leeway for a few days, make sure there’s plenty of water available and allow him or her as much rest as much as possible (normal daily walks/riding/turnout is absolutely fine).
If you have any concerns about your animal at all, just email or ring me as I may be able to do some work distantly to try to help at no extra charge.
