Welcome

for Humans, Horses & Canines

Equine Tension Release Technique

Equine Tension Release Therapy (ETRT) is a gentle, hands-on bodywork technique that works with the horse’s nervous system to release deep patterns of tension held within the body.

Unlike traditional massage, ETRT does not force change.

Instead, it allows the body to unwind naturally, using soft, sustained contact that signals safety to the nervous system.

When the body feels safe, it begins to let go.

Remedial Massage 

Remedial massage is a targeted treatment designed to relieve muscle tension, reduce pain, and improve movement.

Working with specific areas of tightness or restriction, it helps address the underlying cause of discomfort while supporting the body’s natural healing process.

Each session is tailored to your body — helping you feel more relaxed, balanced, and able to move with ease.

Reiki Healing Session

Reiki 

Reiki is a gentle, energy-based treatment that supports relaxation, emotional balance, and overall wellbeing.

Working with the body’s natural energy system, Reiki helps calm the nervous system, release stress, and restore a sense of balance.

Sessions are deeply relaxing and can support both physical and emotional tension — allowing the body to reset and recharge.
