New 2026 clients now receive a specialized first appointment!

Our Initial Equine/Canine Evaluation & Bodywork Session provides in depth analysis, bodywork, and a wellness plan all within one appointment.

In the past these first sessions followed a similar format to other bodywork appointments and time didn't allow for in depth analysis, conformation pictures AND a lengthy visual assessment. When a client had reoccurring sessions, we added components of this but have decided its time to offer the same to new clients all at their first appointment.

These first time sessions allow time for follow up questions surrounding intake paperwork, taking conformation pictures and walk/jog videos. An in depth visual and hands on assessment also takes place prior to the massage and any accompanying bodywork. Following the appointment, the client will receive an evaluation form detailing observations and findings along with a recommend wellness plan moving forward.

Reach out with any questions or to book a first session for your horse or dog!

I'm excited to announce that we're offering several new bodywork packages in 2026!

Our plans have been restructured to include equine and canine maintenance plans as well as an equine competitor package. These plans can work alongside each other and each incorporates individual bodywork sessions, a long term wellness plan, and frequent assessment of posture and performance.

From now through the end of January, you can lock in your horse or dog's maintenance plan at our 2025 price for the new year. For current clients, any bodywork sessions scheduled for/within the month of January can also be bought for our 2025 price. Starting February 1st, our bodywork prices will increase as they are now listed on the website.

Looking forward to seeing you all in 2026!

Fun fact for your Tuesday!

Did you know that the horse has 3 types of hair?

1. Permanent hair - the mane, tail, eyelashes and feathers
2. Tactile hair - Whiskers are sensory hairs and provide the horse with information on its surroundings. The horse uses them to used to estimate the distance between the muzzle and an object.
3. Temporary hair - this consists of an undercoat of fine, densly packed hair, covered by a layer of longer, coarser hair. This hair is shed twice a year based on the season. One of its main functions is to regulate the horse's temperature.

Hello friends!

It's been a while since I've introduced myself on this page and I thought it might be good to offer a little background to those of you who haven't met me yet!

I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, diving headlong into horses during my middle and high school years. As I explored careers related to this passion, I opted for a blend of community college and hands on education opportunities provided by connections in the equestrian industry.

In 2022, after completing the MNHA program for equine sports massage, I kick started Thrive Bodywork and the business has been growing ever since! Continual education has led to further certifications in canine massage and additional bodywork therapies. I spent a season in pony club, interned with a breeding farm, and this past spring, graduated from community college with my business degree!

Recently, my lines of work have begun to converge as I bring my bodywork skill set to clients I also teach, train and farm sit for. As I work out of a local barn in Dillsburg and travel south/central pa, my dream is to bridge the space between bodywork, riding/training and high-quality care to create happier, healthier horses (and dogs!). If this is something that also gets you excited, following this page and visit my website to see what services are offered!

Hello October!!

It’s been a busy last several of weeks working around, with and on client horses. Tucked in around teaching, bodywork and riding has been a full schedule of farm/pet sitting. As summer transitions to fall, I’ve been putting time toward website updates, business photos, and 2026 brainstorming! Stay tuned for more details as we head toward the holidays!

I’m currently booking bodywork sessions for the end of October into November. Reach out if you’d to schedule a massage or taping session!
