Because of my training in multiple modalities, my sessions are more than just a massage. Each session is a combination of sports massage, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy techniques, stretches, kinesiology taping, etc, whatever the body needs that day. Each session is like peeling an onion, working through layers of compensation or restriction, helping facilitate the body's own recovery. Bodywork is suitable for horses of all ages, from newborn foal to the retired senior in your back yard. Sessions last on average 1-1.5 hours and are $125 per session.
Make sure your horse is groomed and ready to go at the time of appointment (I'm very punctual!) Fly spray is ok on the chest, belly, and legs. Your horse will need 18-24hrs off post bodywork, so plan your rides and schedule your appointments accordingly. If your horse is due for vaccines, please schedule bodywork at least 10 days post vaccination.

Your horse needs 18-24hrs off, so usually just the rest of the day. If you must ride, schedule your bodywork after.
No, I do soft tissue work only. I do work with some excellent chiropractors however and I'm happy to offer referrals. And yes, I recommend regular chiropractic work for your horses, I keep my own horses on a quarterly schedule at minimum.
I take all major forms of payment: cash, check, credit card, Venmo
If you are a new client, I ask that you commit to at least 3 sessions, because that gets us to a baseline. Some horses take to bodywork immediately, and some it takes 2-3 sessions for them to accept it and really let their guard down and let me in. From there, it's a maintenance schedule. The general rule of thumb is 4-6 weeks, however it's of course what you can budget. The key is consistency for it to be most effective. I have clients that do very well on a 6-8 week schedule. At most, a 12 week schedule can provide consistency and help me catch any saddle fit concerns.
