A Tailored Equine Bodywork Approach

Creating space for peace and connection so your equine partner can reach their personal potential.
Serving equines and their guardians in the greater Portland-metro area and beyond.
Let’s chat about your favorite subject - your horse! You two are building a beautiful partnership. It’s easy to see the bond you are creating, and how much you cherish every moment spent with your equine partner.

Some days it feels easy like Sunday morning. Lately though, it feels like you’ve run into a little trouble - movement that should flow feels stuck, transitions cause you both to brace for impact, and that former desire to go to work is lacking.

When there is movement without peace or learning without time to process, it can deplete energy and limit integration. Your horse needs a moment to heave a big sigh -  to share the feeling you have the moment you step foot in the barn aisle, when all of your cares float away.

That’s where I come in! I can help exchange guarded expressions for soft eyes, and create soft, relaxed muscles out of tight ones.

Reach out today and let’s have a conversation - I can’t wait to hear more about you and your horse!
The primary goal of massage is to reduce tension, but did you know that bodywork can also:
  • Calm a nervous & reactive horse;
  • Ease symptoms of founder, arthritis, and pain;
  • Decrease & mitigate instances of colic;
  • Reduce the chance of injury;
  • Improve balance, comfort, & freedom of movement;
  • Keep your horse happy and sound!
Don’t take my word for it - straight from ‘the horse’s mouth’:
