When Ashley discovered massage therapy and bodywork for horses, she knew she had found her calling. The opportunity to provide purely supportive therapy to her life-long favorite creatures inspired her to dedicate her time and energy to their welfare.

There are a multitude of benefits to massage therapy for our equine companions.

• Speeds the healing process

• Increases range of motion

• Increases circulation & movement of blood & lymph

• Rapid elimination of toxins

• Reducing inflammation

• Improves disposition

• Releases endorphins

• Improves quality of life

Ashley is also a certified Equi-Tape practitioner. Equi-Tape is a tool that allows you and your horse to trainer harder and recover faster. When applied by a knowledgeable practitioner, Equi-Tape has been proven to:

• Increase oxygen supply and circulation

• Reduce fatigue

• Aid in shortening healing and recovery time

• Decrease inflammation, swelling and associated pain

• Aid in toxin removal and increases natural metabolism of by-product build-up to help muscles and joints work more efficiently

• Support joints, tendons and ligaments

• Assist joint and muscle movement to encourage full range of motion making it advantageous for use in training programs

Always adding to her skills, Ashley is very excited to be a fully certified equine craniosacral therapist. Craniosacral therapy taps into a horse’s cerebral spinal fluid pulse to allow the animal to "unwind" the kinks and twists in their fascia. These fascial restrictions are often cause by misalignments and repeated stress. Cranial bone alignment can also be influenced, which can help with everything from headaches (yes, horses can get headaches!) and lack of concentration to decreased proprioception and irritability.

Another skillset Ashley brings to the table is her certification in Holistic Equine Nutrition. Holistic nutrition is the method of looking at the horse's diet as a whole rather than as individual parts. We want to give our horses the best, but that is often an overwhelming task. Ashley creates individualized nutritional programs that will keep your horse healthy, as well as address ulcers, metabolic disorders, behavioral issues, & more.

For your horse’s specific needs, Ashley also offers custom herbal formulas in order to get to the root of your horse’s issues, and address the underlying problems rather than simply treating symptoms.
