Equine Body Therapy.

I have limited availability in the Ocala area.

Improve your horses performance with NMRT.(Neuromuscular Release Therapy)
Combined with Myofacia Release and Structural release, the effectiveness of this therapy can be quite dramatic. Most riders see and feel an immediate improvement.
All Equine athletes at some point are defensive and braced under saddle . Moving up levels , learning new movements etc can create tension , strain which cause irritable points in the nervous system. This normally shows up as knots due to the muscles shortening and tightening.
The Therapy that I do is used to stimulate the soft tissue to help repair and alleviate nerve entrapment and postural distortion.
If this is left untreated it will result in under development of supporting muscles, thereby creating weakness and overuse of reactive muscles which become even more fatigued.
Releasing Muscle spasms help to stimulate the lymphatic system to support immune function.
The horse below shows the difference, before Therapy and 7 weeks later .
Supple and relaxed muscles allow the horse to lengthen the neck , travel straighter to increase stride length and better balance.
$125 per hour

I also have PEMF available.
Many references available.

The Benefits of Massage

This work is so rewarding!
I have been working with this Amazing mare since early this year .Beezie is an incredible Show Jumper.
With her Owner/rider, Kimberley Bird from New Zealand, this pair have made huge strides here in the USA this year.
It’s been a privilege to work with such an incredible athlete.

When I first started to do bodywork, Neuromuscular, Myofacial Release and Structural Release on Beezie she was very uptight and tense. This is normal at first, I am addressing all the muscle issues that all athletes have due to wear and tear. After a few sessions Beezie started to welcome me into her stall and with one touch she relaxed.
As the season went on, Kim told me how much better she was feeling and and was jumping out if her skin. (The photos she sent me this week from Tryon , below, confirm how good she’s feeling)
This partnership has had super results through the summer season and are now preparing for the winter circuit.
It’s been a pleasure for me to work with Beezie , I can’t wait to see what is yet to come .
I have limited availability. I also do PEMF but I feel that the initial work has to be done by hand to separate the layers of Facia that are stuck before full benefit can be achieved.

Congratulations to Elizabeth Guarisco of Virginia for the purchase of Rio!
This is quite bitter/sweet for me . I think that the universe conspired to bring us together. Elizabeth was the first person to try Rio, with no notice , they were already at the farm looking at a different horse when I brought him out to school, on a day that I don’t normally ride. Rio made me feel so proud when I watched him go through his paces with two new riders, Elizabeth and her trainer Meghan. Everything was easy for Rio and his potential new owner.

We have been together over 7 years , competed up the levels through Grand Prix. I’m so proud of him , he is absolutely gorgeous in every way !
I know that Rio could not have found a better home , I’m happy for him but I still have a big lump on my throat, I know that I’m going to miss him terribly..

I wish this new pair all the very best for the future!!!

A Brand New Beginning, Dressage for Show Jumpers.

During the last 5 months my career has taken me in a new direction. As a Grand Prix Dressage Rider , I was a little unsure of my future after I decided to take a sabbatical from the competition world.
My path crossed with Rowan Willis here in Ocala, a top International Show Jumper from Australia.
I began working with Rowan and his incredible horses , initially treating his horses with a variety of body treatments, including Neuromuscular release and structural release.
Shortly afterwards, I began to work with Rowan under saddle as well as treating his horses.
We worked to enhance his flatwork, utilizing lots of Dressage techniques to strengthen weaknesses and build more rideable power. The balance is easily lost between fences so capturing the ability to shift the balance quickly could only help to improve the performance.
Rowan and his horses were already top athletes but his huge desire for more knowledge has helped to create more suppleness and even change the way of going for his horses. Horses that can use their core muscles can alleviate stress on their joints , it’s a win win .
It has been so rewarding to work with such elite athletes.
The feedback from Rowan and his riders has been so positive ! I have just returned from a trip to Vancouver where I worked with Rowan and his team. It’s a very exciting world . Amy Rose and the grooms , Robert and Kim were so accommodating, it felt great to be part of this team .
I feel like I have found my new direction.
