Frequently Asked Questions

What methods do you use?

I provide soft tissue work using the following techniques:

~Equine Sports (Swedish) Massage

~Myofascial Release

~BEMER Therapy - Bio Electro Magnetic Energy Regulation (PEMF blanket)

~The Masterson Method techniques (NOT certified)

~Balance Through Movement Method™

~Deep Fascia Release with Gua Sha stones

~Scar tissue reduction

~Limb swelling reduction

~Kinesiology taping

***Please note: not all of these can be performed in one session.

How long is a session?

~Session times vary!! They are approximately 60-100 minutes but it is ultimately up to the client.... THE HORSE! Initial assessment sessions and sessions that include BEMER and kinesiology taping take more time. The horse will let me know which areas they need work on and when they have had enough. First visits will run longer as I get to know your horse and do some preliminary assessment, but subsequent visits will be more efficient.

PLEASE NOTE: sessions are not a whole body massage. The horse has many main areas of focus that need to be addressed on both sides, plus initial palpitation and stretches. My goal is to address the most pressing area of concern on that day and balance it with the most benefit to the horse to help them feel their best. As I work with your horse, I will become more aware of the area(s) they need worked and can devise a treatment plan for going forward.

The booking section of this website allows you to book the service of your choice.

Do you diagnose?

NO!! I am in no way a replacement for proper veterinary care. If you are concerned about an illness or injury, please contact your vet first. I provide relief and support to your horse, focusing on their musculature system. This is soft tissue work.

Horse care is a team effort, with you as their owner being their number one advocate - you know your horse best!! Also included in your horse's team is; your coach/trainer, vet, farrier, barn staff and any other professionals that you wish to include in your horse's overall wellness (Chiropractor, dietician, saddle fitter...).

What types of horses do you work with?

All types! Every horse can enjoy the benefit of massage.

Should I be present for my horse's massage?

You are very welcome to be nearby. If you are unable to be there for the appointment time, as long as the horse is made available to me, I can work on them.

I will give you a report after every session (so if you are not there you will have something to review). These reports are a great reference for your vet, chiropractor, coach etc. And you can reach out to me at any time with any questions.

~Top level competitive:

-> Weekly

~Serious training:

->Bi-weekly

~Moderate work (3-5 days/week):

->Monthly
