Preparation for the session:  I incorporate some energy work into the massage as a way of opening the animal to the work.  Sessions last approximately 45 minutes  to 1 hour on average.
Do not ride your horse for at minimum 1 hour prior to session (give them time to cool down).  Please have your horse groomed (preferably bathed recently) prior to the session and arrange for a quiet but secure place (usually their stall if it’s large enough). We will meet first and review your horse’s history.  I will perform a one minute quick evaluation and give you an opportunity to ask questions prior to the start of the session.   Post session, I will give my findings and recommendations in writing and again allow any questions you may have at that time.  Normally horses respond right away. 

Post Session:  Walk your horse for approximately 5 minutes (or pasture turnout is great!).  Give immediate and ready access to fresh water.  You may ride or exercise your horse lightly (assuming the horse is sound) any time after the session.

RATES: Charged per session or may be reduced for purchase of blocks of monthly or weekly sessions. 
​(cash, check, credit card, Venmo or PayPal)

Main Locations: Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen, West End, Jackson Springs, Vass, Carthage, Raeford.  NOTE:  outside of my normal radius we will discuss a travel fee.
