The intricate nature of horses often leads to tension accumulation. To promote their comfort and fluid movement, I collaborate with owners to address tension-related issues. When horses experience discomfort, compensatory mechanisms can create additional tension. Through expert bodywork, I facilitate tension release, enhancing equine mobility and well-being

Regular sessions proactively identify potential concerns, ensuring optimal health. A core aspect of my work involves releasing tension in the jaw, poll, neck, and shoulders, allowing horses to engage their hindquarters, move efficiently, and perform optimally, thereby reducing the risk of injury and enhancing overall comfort.

Since 1984, horses have been an integral part of my life, enriching it with purpose and passion. From boarding and caring for them myself, to competing in the hunter and jumper A circuit in Western Canada, training my own horses, and running a Connemara breeding program in the 1990s, my connection with these magnificent creatures has only deepened. I've had the privilege of introducing children to the joys of horse care and riding, and now, as a horse owner, mom, and adult amateur rider, I continue to nurture this bond. As an equine bodyworker, I'm humbled to give back to these incredible animals, witnessing firsthand the transformative power of relaxation and tension relief as they surrender to wonderful moments of calm with lowered heads, yawns, soft eyes, and gentle sighs. A testament to the profound benefits of equine massage, elevating performance and accelerating recovery.
