BODYWORK

Certified Equine Sports Massage Therapist (CESMT)

With over 4 years of dedicated education, advanced coursework, and live lab training, my learning never stops. I regularly attend hands-on clinics, biomechanics intensives, functional anatomy labs and community gatherings with industry experts to broaden my understanding of biomechanics and refine my technique. My approach is the result of cumulative training and real-world experience-carefully adapted into a personalized, intuitive method rooted in evidence-based practice. I prioritize the nervous system regulation and fascial health as foundations of soundness.

Offering advanced manual therapy that goes beyond basic massage to support performance, recovery and overall wellness for your equine partners. Combining science, skill and intuition to get to the root cause of tension and imbalance, discomfort or performance limitations. Committed to the horse as a whole, my approach is not just about temporary relief, but long-term solutions that support your horse’s soundness both mentally and physically.

The “Whole Horse” Philosophy

Every horse is unique, and so is every session. Client intake information along with a visual and manual assessment where I evaluate posture, muscle symmetry and movement patterns. Listening carefully to the horse with sensitivity and respect to the feedback given through body language and subtle responses. Whether I’m supporting an equine athlete, a horse in rehabilitation or one simply needing body maintenance, I tailor each session to the individual in front of me. Depending on what the horse presents, I integrate a range of manual therapy techniques, including:

Equine Sports Massage
A customized blend of myofascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue massage and other advanced techniques to release tension, restore mobility and enhance performance. Added benefits include release of soft tissue adhesions and scar tissue, reduction of lymphatic blockages, improved circulation, mental relaxation and reduced stress hormone levels.

Corrective and Rehabilitative Exercises
Designed to re-train functional movement and address muscular imbalances, helping the horse use its body with correct form and function.

Mobilization & Stretching
Targeting fascia and muscle fibers to improve flexibility, circulation and range of motion – crucial for recovery and injury prevention.

Stabilization & Strengthening
Exercises focused on key postural and weight-bearing muscle groups (trunk, thoracic sling and pelvic girdle) and core strength development.
