The countdown is ON, we’re just days away from Spring Fling 🎉

I’ll be at the show starting Thursday offering bodywork sessions throughout the weekend. If you want your horse feeling loose, comfortable, and ready to perform, now’s the time to get on the list.

Show sessions focus on light, targeted work to keep them moving their best during the weekend (save the big changes for home).

Spots are limited, message me to book!

Let’s horse show 😎

Show season is here 👀

It’s gonna be May… and my schedule is gonna be full 😅

April filled up fast, and I’m already booking into mid-May. weekends are almost completely spoken for...

If you’re wanting your horse worked on, please reach out sooner rather than later so I can plan routes and make sure I can fit everyone in.

Do you do chiro, and what does my horse actually need?

No—I do not do chiropractic work. It’s regulated and only legal for licensed vets or certified human chiropractors with animal training.

Chiropractic: focuses on joint alignment and mobility

Soft tissue work: focuses on muscles, fascia, and releasing tension

When done well, both modalities together are a game changer. Muscle moves bone, and muscles have memory, so combining massage and chiro often helps sessions hold better and last longer (in my experience).

I work alongside some fantastic chiropractors and am a big believer in collaborating with skilled, well-trained professionals to support your horse’s overall well-being.

Hi guys 🤍

I just want to say… you are all seriously amazing. Thank you so much for having me out and trusting me with your horses, the honor is truly mine every single time.

April is just about fully booked. I have a few days left in the last week, and I can sometimes squeeze people into already booked days depending on location.

May is already starting to fill up with show season and travel days coming in, so if you’re wanting in, please book sooner rather than later. I want to make sure I can get all my regulars (and any new faces) in when you need it.

I appreciate you guys more than you know 🤍

FAQ: My horse isn’t lame… do they still need bodywork?

Honestly, yeah. But not in the “one session fixes everything” kind of way.

If your horse is lame, that’s a vet call first. Always.

But a lot of horses aren’t lame… they’re just not feeling 100%.

Stiff one way, harder to pick up a lead, not moving quite right, a bit resistant under saddle.

That’s the stuff I see all the time.

Bodywork helps with tension, tight spots, and the compensation patterns that build up over time, the ones that get missed until they turn into bigger problems.

But it’s not a quick fix.

The horses that do the best are on some kind of routine. Not just a one-off when something feels off.

Same idea as us. You don’t get one massage and expect to be good for the year.

It’s about keeping them comfortable, moving well, and going longer without issues.

If your horse has been feeling a bit “off”, there’s usually a reason.

FAQ: “How do you keep your price at $85 per horse?”

I get this question a lot so here’s the honest answer.

I charge $85 per horse, and it's a very intentional decision.

I’ve been a fully certified equine sports therapist since 2014, and I’ve owned horses most of my life. I also actively ride, show, and manage multiple horses, so I understand firsthand how quickly costs add up in this industry.

Equine therapy isn’t a one-and-done, quick fix. While we can make a big difference in a single session, the real results come from consistency .. just like training.

- We address acute issues when they come up
- We manage and maintain what can’t be changed
- We support your horse so they can perform comfortably and effectively in their job

By keeping my rates reasonable, my goal is simple:

Make regular maintenance accessible.

Because that’s what actually benefits your horse long-term.

For most sport horses, that looks like sessions every 4–6 weeks.
For pleasure horses, maybe 3–4 times a year.

At the end of the day, this is about giving your horse the support they need without making it financially out of reach.

Consistency is where the magic happens. ✨

This was posted in a group and I thought it would be very interesting and I'd love to know !

A Survey of Owner Perception of Equine Bodywork

Market research, and would love your answers on the following questions:

1. What are some reasons that you would seek out an equine bodyworker?
What type of modality (massage, chiropractic, etc) are you most likely to choose? Why?

2. Do you look for specific education in a practitioner?

3. Do you look for someone with more than one certification & modality?

4. Do you base your choice on education, reviews (word of mouth), both? Other?

5. Is a business website important to you?

6. Is a business social media page important to you? Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc? If so, which one do you use most to follow a practitioner?

7. What are your expectations regarding bodywork? Do you have an idea of how many sessions it should take to see improvements?

8. Do you feel more confident in a practitioner if it appears as if they are doing very obvious manual work ? For example chiropractic adjustments are visible obvious actions applied to the horse vs an approach such as craniosacral or reiki

9. Do you prefer a practitioner who uses tools such as PEMF, laser, red light, etc?

10. How much of a factor is the price of service?

11. What type of horse(s) do you own?

12. Do they compete? In what discipline, and at what level?

Quick schedule update 💛

I have a few openings before the Easter long weekend if anyone’s been thinking about booking in perfect time to get ahead before things get busy.

April is filling up fast with horse show prep, custom orders, and some out-of-town days, so availability will be a bit more limited.

And my acreage crew you’re still on my radar. As soon as the weather starts cooperating, I’ll be reaching out to get you all booked in 🤞

The weather is looking a little warmer this week… could it be… could it be spring? 🌱

I’m not getting my hopes too high just yet, but the horses are shedding and show season is already here for some and just around the corner for many of us!

I’m trying to book multiple horses at the same location whenever possible. With gas prices being higher, grouping appointments helps me avoid increasing travel fees.

If your horse could use some bodywork heading into the season, now is a great time to get on the schedule.

New clients are always welcome! 🐴

A Horsewoman First, Bodyworker Second.

When choosing a bodyworker for your horse, their equestrian background matters.

Before becoming an equine sports therapist, I have spent over 20 years in the horse industry working from the ground up — stalls, daily barn chores, first-aid care, grooming and tacking for trainers, starting young horses, and riding finished show horses, along with owning horses of my own.

Being a horsewoman first and foremost means I’m confident handling horses in a way that prioritizes both their safety and my own.

That experience also means I understand the day-to-day realities of horse ownership and the physical demands we place on our horses. When I work on a horse, I’m always looking at the full picture — how they move, how they're built, their workload, and what their job asks of their body.

If you’d like to get your horse on the schedule for bodywork, feel free to send me a message.

03/05/2026

I have a few equine massage openings available this coming week. Spots tend to fill quickly, so if you’d like your horse worked on please reach out ASAP. With the weather starting to improve, I can also shuffle my schedule on warmer days to accommodate some acreage horses. Shoot me a text 780 660 7345
