✨ Myth Monday: “I don’t believe massage does anything.” (Sadly, I hear this one a lot).

Here’s the truth: you don’t have to believe in it. The horses tell the story themselves. 🐴💆‍♀️

✔️ Owners notice their horses moving freer and more comfortably.
✔️ Horses that once pinned their ears at touch now melt into relaxation.
✔️ Performance, comfort, and overall well-being improve—not because I say so, but because the horses show it.

Muscles are the foundation of every stride, every jump, and every collected movement. If the muscles aren’t functioning properly, the horse can’t either. Massage takes a whole-horse approach, addressing the tension, restrictions, and imbalances that affect the entire body.

Bodywork like massage, Equi-bow and Masterson Method are the ONLY modalities that address the muscles and body as a whole system. Muscles power movement. Period! Bones and joints can't move properly without muscles to power them, and if those muscles are sore or tight, you won't get proper movement.

So no matter what you believe—the horses know the difference. ❤️ Seeing is believing.

SCHOOL HORSE MASSAGE SPECIAL!! BUY ONE ($50),GET ONE HALF OFF($25)

🌟 School horses are the real saints of the equine world. 🌟
They quietly carry our beginners, teach patience, build confidence, and forgive more mistakes than we can count. 🐴✨

These kind souls deserve more than just a pat on the neck—they deserve all the love, all the cookies, and yes… a good massage, too. 💆‍♀️💗 Because when they feel their best, they can keep on being the incredible teachers they are. Here’s to the gentle saints in lesson barns everywhere—you are worth your weight in gold. 🥹💛

In honor of back to school, I wanted to do something for school horses who have worked so hard over the summer with lessons, camps, and showing. So I am offering a buy one gwt one half off. The first massage is $50/half hour, and the next horse would be $25/half hour.

The only rules are: they have to be a School horse and you have to have the owners permission.

I know multiple massages cost money so some ideas from other barns is asking for donations towards a "massage fund", even $5.00 from each rider goes a long way or a rider sponsoring a specific horses massage. There is no downtime (other than they need the day of the massage off after their massage).

I travel within a 1 hour radius of Cambridge. Reach out today to give back to these hard workingnand deserving souls.

📢 To my regular clients, keep your eyes peeled for a deal coming at the end of September for my certification anniversary!!

Q: What are the dangers of being an equine bodyworker?

A: Oh, you know… the usual: sore shoulders, muddy boots, hay in my bra…
…oh, and falling head over heels in love with every single sweet client I get to work on. 🥹🐴💕

Honestly, how am I supposed to stay professional when they start yawning, licking, and giving me those “I love you now” eyes mid-session? The real occupational hazard is leaving the barn without trying to smuggle them home in my backseat. 🚗✨

I don't know if it's because I no longer have my own horse, but I really have some of the sweetest clients. This special dude insisted on snuggles for 5 minutes before I could start, then melted into my hands. When I tried to leave, he gave me this "Where are you going massage lady, don't leave" look. Too precious 🥹

✨Beat the Monday blues? Easy. Just book yourself a date with a tall, dark, and handsome… horse. 😉🐴 (yes I know it's Tuesday lol)

Forget coffee—nothing perks me up faster than rolling into a massage appointment with a client who’s rocking dapples, a shiny mane, and legs for days. Sorry gentlemen, but this is the kind of tall, dark, and handsome that never disappoints. 💆‍♀️💖

Who else prefers their Mondays with a side of horses instead of headaches?

All joking aside, I love getting to meet new clients and witnessing the love they have for their horse. I am always grateful when someone chooses (and trusts me) to work with their precious partner. (This guy is pretty special).

Friday feels! The many faces of muscle release!

Fun fact: 🐴💡 Your horse cannot — I repeat, cannot — release their own muscle tension.
They can chill out emotionally (big sigh, licking & chewing, yawning, blinking, sometimes even looking like they’re falling asleep 😴), but that’s emotional tension.

Actual muscle tension? Nope. They can’t just “stretch it out” like we do after a workout. That’s where yours truly (aka your friendly neighborhood bodyworker 🙋‍♀️) comes in. Horses need hands-on to help the body facilitate a release.

Machines can’t feel what’s going on under the skin. They can’t adjust pressure, read your horse’s subtle cues, or coax those stubborn knots into letting go.

Hands-on work is the only way to truly facilitate a muscle release — and when it happens? Ohhh, you’ll see the magic:
✨ Melting posture
✨ Soft eyes
✨ Droopy lips
✨ Deep breaths
✨ Maybe even a little horsey nap
✨️Yawning

Because a relaxed horse isn’t just happy — they’re also moving better, staying sounder, and loving life. 💆‍♀️🐴

Nothing like having the best horse massage clients — the ones who double as my personal wellness coaches 🤣. These boys are just the sweetest. They made sure that cuddles were on the agenda too before we got started lol.

💨 They make sure my neck fan is on full blast (can’t have your bodyworker overheating)

🔴 They check that my red light is doing its magic (apparently, I’m not the only one with quality control)

🍵 And of course… they whip up a fresh batch of hay soup as a comforting, slow-cooked meal during the session.

Honestly, it’s the spa day I didn’t know I needed. 💁‍♀️✨

🌟 While I love first appointments — meeting new clients and getting to know your amazing horses — the real magic happens during the second (and sometimes third) visit.

This is when the horses start to recognize me, trust me, and truly settle in. You can see it in their eyes, their breathing, the way they melt into the work. It’s no longer just bodywork — it becomes a connection.

This sweet boy was so well-behaved for his first session, but this second one was magic. He had so many big releases, but he would only do them with his head hanging out the door as if he would allow me in a little, but wanted me to know we weren't 100% there yet. Horses are just so amazing, and reading their body language is a really cool part of what I do.

Watching them let go, relax, and actually enjoy our time together is such a gift. It’s those quiet, trusting moments that remind me exactly why I do what I do. 💛

Here’s to building trust, one session at a time. 🐴✨

📣 Massage Myth Monday!
Let’s bust a big one today:
💥 “If your prices are lower, you must not be as qualified.” 💥

WRONG. Nope. Not even a little.

I am fully trained, certified, and experienced in equine massage. I also do continuing education and research all the time. The only difference? I also work a 9-5 job, which gives me the financial flexibility to keep my prices lower. Why? Because I genuinely want more horses to have access to bodywork—especially in this economy where everything feels like it costs a small fortune.

Massage isn’t just for the elite show horses. It’s for your steady eddies, your seniors, your spicy green beans, your weekend warriors… all horses benefit from regular bodywork. 🐎💆‍♂️

My goal isn’t to get rich off your horse’s sore back. It’s to help them feel and move better—for longer.

So don’t mistake affordable for “less than.” It’s actually “more for everyone.” 💪💜

🛑 Whoa there, champ — we’re HALFWAY through show season! 🐎💥

You’ve been hauling, showing, training, and probably running on caffeine and shenanigans — and guess what? Your horse is feeling it too!

This is not the time to slack on bodywork.
👉 Fatigue is setting in.
👉 Muscles are tight.
👉 Tension is creeping in like that one rider who never picks up their p**p in the warmup ring. 🙄

And you know what that means? Higher risk of injury, crankiness, and a whole lotta "nope" from your horse when you ask for that clean lead change or perfect transition.

✨ A massage now =
✔️ Looser muscles
✔️ Less tension
✔️ Better performance
✔️ Happier horse (and rider)

They’ve carried you this far — literally. Don’t let tension ruin your finish line.

📲 Book the bodywork. Your horse deserves it. I have many options, massage and taping at home between shows, or massage at shows all very reasonably priced. I have multi horse discounts for 3+. I'm avaliable at all Angelstone shows and Caledon with 5+ horses. Reach out today by DM or email [email protected] or shot me a text. Based out of Cambridge.

On this day last year, I lost my heart horse Keenya. I had him from 27 years, from the day he was born until his last day. It's is a really special thing to have had a horse their whole life, and I miss his presence deeply, every single day. He is the "Royal" part of my business name because he is/was the reason I got into bodywork and continue helping horses in his honor.

He taught me to really "listen" to horses, to have patience, and to always find the "why" of a horses behavior. He was immensely intelligent, full of personality, emotionally intelligent, and fragile all at the same time. I will never know another horse like him. I love you, buddy, and miss you every day. I will be forever grateful to you for pushing me into finding my passion. Every horse I massage always makes me think of you❤️

of this sweet senior who I had the pleasure of meeting in June. He definitely had some feelings about his first session, and that is OK! He was happy being free to "eat his feelings." I would never expect any horse to be 100% on board with their first massage. The horse always dictates how the session goes, and it's my duty to listen. Because if you think about it, I'm a total stranger asking a horse to trust me right away and be vulnerable. Even as humans, we would have a hard time with that. He is enjoying a semi retired life now (after being a show horse for many years), and his mom wants to make sure he is comfortable in his new life, I love that.

Just because your horse is now semi-retired or living the good life as a senior doesn’t mean their need for bodywork disappears. In fact, it might be even more important now. 🐴💆‍♀️

These horses have given us their all — whether in the show ring, on the trails, or just being a steady, reliable partner. Years of hard work can leave behind tension, compensation patterns, and stiffness that don’t magically go away with retirement.

Massage helps keep them comfortable, mobile, and feeling good in their golden years. Whether they're still doing light work or fully retired, they deserve to feel their best. It's the least we can do to say thank you. ❤️
