The Heart Behind Heartsong
I’m Nicole Linke, founder of HeartSong.
This work is deeply personal to me, born from a lifelong love of horses and a belief that true healing begins with understanding the whole being.
My journey into equine wellness began as a young girl, shaped by time at the barn with my father, whose work in acupuncture, chiropractic, and natural medicine revealed the power of holistic healing. When my soul horse, Deja, faced a severe neurological condition, I turned to herbs, nutrition, and hands-on therapies—and watched her not only return to health but thrive. That experience became the foundation for everything I do today.
For over 15 years, I’ve dedicated my life to supporting horses through natural, compassionate methods. Blending bodywork, herbal medicine, and energetics to restore balance and well-being. I believe true healing happens when each horse is seen, heard, and supported as an individual. My approach is guided by intuition, respect, and a deep understanding of the horse’s innate wisdom, creating space for trust, ease, and lasting wellness in partnership with both horse and guardian.
My work integrates craniosacral therapy, massage and fascial release, TCM acupressure and Five Element theory, herbal and nutritional energetics, somatic work, Reiki, and intuitive communication.
HeartSong isn’t just a service, it’s a way of being, where love, presence, and purpose lead the way. My goal is to help horses heal naturally while empowering their guardians with the knowledge, confidence, and connection to make informed, intuitive decisions for their equine partners.

Continuing Education & Mentorships
I am a lifelong student of the horse, dedicated to continually expanding my knowledge and refining my skills to offer the highest level of care. Through mentorship, advanced study, and collaboration with veterinarians and equine professionals, I’ve developed a deep understanding across a range of holistic modalities.
My training combines formal study, mentorships, and hands-on clinical experience across multiple modalities. I have studied Acupoint Work with Dr. Ridgeway; Functional Anatomy and Dynamic Posture with Jillian Kreinbring; Trauma-Informed Somatic and Energy Work, Reiki, Emotion and Body Code, TCM Sensitivity Clearings, the Masterson Method, Applied Kinesiology, and Animal Communication with Anna Twinney. I am also engaged in an ongoing herbalism mentorship and have completed courses in homeopathy as well as herbal medicine through the Matthew Wood School of Herbal Medicine, along with continuing studies in equine nutrition and whole-food energetics.
This ongoing education allows me to meet each horse with insight and intention, providing care that is informed, integrative, and deeply individualized, while helping guardians feel empowered and supported every step of the way.
