Helping Horses Feel Their Best

PACIFIC EQUINE

Your horse deserves a massage

For the hard working performance horse as well as the pleasure, retired, or senior horse, equine bodywork and massage can be an extremely useful complimentary practice as recommended after a veterinary diagnosis, as a regularly scheduled maintenance tool, and/or as a well deserved, “feel good” session for your horse.

TREATMENT

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Sara...and I have a problem.

More than a few times over the years I have been good-naturedly accused of “loving on” the horses too much, which probably was true, and probably was in reference to the fact that I always have my hands on them. It feels a bit like a magnet drawing my hands to various areas of their bodies. I just can't help it. And so I decided that the best way to manage this "problem" was to become educated and put my hands to good use by becoming a Certified Practitioner in Equine Bodywork and Massage with the School of Applied Integrative Therapy. In addition, I am certified by the

National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure and Massage (NBCAAM). These certifications require a strong knowledge of Equine Anatomy, Physiology, Kinesiology, Pathology, Business and Ethics, Bio-security, Equine Behavior, Handling and Safety, Equine Massage and Bodywork Theory, 60+ hours of hands on instructed training and A LOT of experiential practice.

There is a deep call within me to provide this service to the horses and it brings me great joy. They have been my teachers, my friends, now my clients, and have forever changed my life for the better. I still have a problem...

but it's a good one :) I am truly dedicated to contributing what I can to the well being of your horse, and I would love to be a part of your horse-care team!
