Our Motivation
I recognize our animals as the athletes that they are. As an athlete myself, throughout life I was blessed to be exposed and educated in the benefits of body work as a necessary health care modality to enhance performance, reduce pain, and prevent injury. It has been my goal, as a Registered Equine Masssage Therapist and Independent Saddle Fitter, to not only provide this relief and care to our four legged athletes, but also to educate both myself, and the equestrian community on how important it is to listen to our animals, and recognize when they might be inhibited.
I graduated with Honours from D’Arcy Lane Institute of Equine Massage Therapy and Rehabilitation in 2012. Unable to resist my appetite for education, I traveled back to Ontario in 2014 to complete my Kinesio-tape Practitioner Certification. Followed closely by completing the necessary requirements to become an Independent Saddle Fitter at the Society of Masters Saddlers associated North American Saddlery School in Maryland USA. I am actively working towards becoming a Qualified Saddle Fitter with the esteemed Society of Master Saddlers.
My passion is in education, both for my clients, and continuing education for myself as a practitioner and horse and dog owner. I strive to work with my clients to help them understand their animals from a physiological and behavioral perspective. I will not always tell you what you want to hear, but I will tell you what you should know, and I will always tell you when I may not have the answer! And should that be the case, I will ALWAYS strive to help you find the answer. My goal is to bring equine professionals together to work as a team. Unfortunately, with animals, there is no black-and-white. No one-size-fits-all. No Band-Aid fix. Your team consists of your coach, your trainer, your farrier, your veterinarian, your saddle fitter, your chiropractor, your massage therapist, your PEMF therapist, your peers.
