could your horse use some relief?
many horses develop patterns that contribute to discomfort and dysfunction
Services
As a horse owner, you are their greatest advocate. You protect your horse from harm and listen to their needs. Your bodyworker should mirror that exact standard. I believe that self-mastery of the practitioner and knowledge of both nervous systems involved are required for true therapeutic alignment.
All of my techniques are applied in a way that I describe as neuro-somatic bodywork. Neuro means relating to the nerves, the brain, or the overall nervous system. Somatic refers to the physical body, such as fascia, muscles, skin, bones, & viscera. Bodywork is any kind of therapeutic technique that involves the body. It includes massage but also extends to other modalities like acuppresure and craniosacral therapy.
It is not to be conflated with neuroscience or veterinary medicine; two fields that greatly influence this practice but are not the same.
Our clients are professional athletes, back country & trail horses, hippotherapy & adaptive riding horses, mounted police and SAR horses, senior & retired horses, mini’s and mules.
Bodywork that blends an array of modalities for one flat price.
Our approach to equine massage therapy is highly customized and integrated with each horse’s broader care and wellness needs.
custom sessions that utilize the following modalities, tools, & techniques:

Craniosacral Therapy
Scar Tissue Therapy
Acupressure
Sure Foot Balancing Pads

Maintenance massage is foundational to help your horse feel comfortable, supple, and feeling their best. It helps to reduce the build-up of everyday muscle tension, support healthy circulation, and support the nervous system.
Maintenance sessions are ideal for healthy horses of all ages and disciplines to stay ahead of small restrictions before they develop into larger patterns of dysfunction.

Performance massage is targeted bodywork designed to support athletic horses in training, competition, and travel by addressing the acute physical and nervous system demands of their work. Sessions may incorporate myofascial release, trigger point therapy, kinesiology taping, PEMF, and other specialized soft-tissue techniques to support the horse.
Performance massage is especially beneficial both before and after events to support not only the strongest performance during the event, but also to help recover from the physical and emotional stress of travel.

Rehabilitation massage is therapeutic bodywork designed to support healing from injury, overuse, or trauma, often working in close partnership with a veterinarian or physical therapist.
We use targeted assessment and soft-tissue techniques to help support tissue repair, reduce inflammation and scar formation, and ultimately restore optimal movement.
This work is well suited for horses recovering from injury, pre and post-surgical care, or those needing structured support while regaining function.

Rehabilitation Massage
Swedish massage is the foundational, widely practiced therapeutic technique in soft-tissue work, rooted in the 19th-century Swedish movement system. It uses systematic strokes such as effleurage, petrissage, and compression to improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and support healthy tissue function. These basic techniques are adapted from long-established human massage practices that form the core of equine bodywork.

Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic technique used to stimulate the lymphatic system and support fluid movement and immune function. This work can help reduce swelling, flush metabolic waste, and ease discomfort associated with edema or fluid retention. It is especially beneficial for horses with post-exercise swelling, injury-related fluid buildup, lymphatic stagnation, pre or post surgery, or those needing a gentle boost to the immune system.

Craniosacral therapy is an extremely gentle modality that works by engaging the craniosacral system to assess and release restrictions from the cranium to the sacrum, supporting regulation of the central nervous system and the body’s natural capacity for balance and self-regulation. Craniosacral therapy originated in the early 20th century from osteopathic medicine, developed from the work of osteopath William Garner Sutherland who proposed that subtle cranial motion and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics play a key role in overall health and nervous system function.
Cerebrospinal fluid protects and nourishes the brain and spinal cord and plays a vital role in how the entire nervous system, and therefore the entire body functions. In craniosacral therapy, supporting the natural movement of cerebrospinal fluid is understood to help promote relaxation, regulation, and overall health.

Scar tissue massage therapy focuses on addressing fibrous tissue that develops after injury, surgery, or chronic strain and can limit normal movement.
This work helps soften adhesions, restore healthy movement between tissues, improve flexibility, and reduce discomfort associated with scar tissue restriction. It is especially beneficial for horses with surgical scars, old injuries, or chronic tension resulting from long-standing compensation patterns.

Equine acupressure is a gentle, non-invasive technique rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, a healing system developed over thousands of years. Acupressure works by stimulating specific points along the body’s energy channels, supporting the natural flow of energy (qi) and restoring harmony between interconnected physiological functions.

Equine Sure Foot Pads can be used during massage sessions to enhance body awareness and support more effective postural release.
The gentle sensory input through the feet can help improve balance, encourage even weight distribution, and allow the body to respond more fully to hands-on work. They are appropriate for horses of all ages and disciplines, especially those with tension patterns, compensation, or in rehabilitation.

By gently lifting the skin, kinesiology tape improves a horse's blood and lymphatic circulation while relieving pain and tight muscles without restricting motion. This process triggers nervous system signals that enhance the horse's posture and natural body awareness.

The BEMER Horse set is an equine pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) system with FDA Class II clearance to stimulate mitochondria by increasing the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy molecule used by cells.
Low-intensity waveforms temporarily enhance blood flow in small vessels to support natural muscle recovery and relaxation without the deep tissue penetration found in other high-intensity PEMF machines.
PEMF therapy may also accelerate injury recovery by stimulating microcirculation, which delivers more oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues while speeding up the removal of metabolic waste. This process boosts cellular ATP energy production to enhance natural tissue repair, reduce swelling, and alleviate muscle tension at the injury site.
