Dear clients! I just wanted to pop in with a quick update. I haven’t forgotten any of you who are waiting on scheduling, I’ve simply been down sick and needed a little time to recover.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. I’ll be in touch very soon to get everyone booked and back on the calendar. 💙

🚨 Equine health precautions🚨

(Please read — thank you!)

With the recent outbreak (currently based in Texas and Oklahoma), I’m taking extra precautions to keep every horse I work with safe.

This virus spreads easily through horse-to-horse contact and through humans/equipment moving between barns/states — so awareness and early precautions are key.

To help protect your horses, your barn, and the rest of my clients, I am asking all clients to please:

**Notify me BEFORE your appointment if:**

* Your horse has traveled out of state recently.
* Your horse (or you) have attended any shows/clinics/events in the last 2–3 weeks.
* Your barn has brought in any new horses since your last appointment.
* Your horse may have been exposed to the current situation.
* Anyone in your barn has traveled for recent competitions.

I am also increasing my already strict sanitizing and cross-barn protocols to help minimize risk.

Thank you all for helping keep our horses healthy and supporting responsible biosecurity.

Real Results. Real Relief. This beautiful before-and-after tells a story words can’t fully capture. 💫

With a focused session of bodywork, this horse’s posture, muscle tone, and overall comfort have transformed. You can see the difference in his softer topline, improved symmetry, and a more relaxed, balanced stance.

At Optimized Equine Wellness, the focus is on helping horses release tension, restore comfort, and move with ease using gentle bodywork that supports both body and mind.

Because when a horse feels safe and comfortable in their body, everything changes.

📅 Booking now for sessions helping horses feel and perform their best, from the inside out.

They say horses can sense what we cannot…Have you ever felt that unexplainable shift in the barn air after dark? When the boards creak a little louder, the wind speaks through the cracks, and the darkness outside haunts every doorway.
