Let's Talk About Your Horse

You know your horse better than anyone. And lately, something feels off.

Maybe they're moving a little stiff in the morning. Slower to warm up. Less interested in connection. Or maybe they've always carried tension somewhere and you've never quite been able to reach it.

Horses don't always show discomfort the way we expect — but their bodies tell the story.

Intuitive bodywork that meets your horse exactly where they are.

Through a blend of massage, myofascial release, and energy-informed techniques, I create a slow, attuned space where your horse can release restriction, settle their nervous system, and move with greater comfort and ease.

Whether your horse is in their golden years, recovering from a demanding career, or simply carrying the kind of tension that builds up over a lifetime — this work is for them.

Learn More About My Approach

Heidi is wonderful! My horses appreciate her calm and gentle demeanor and love every minute of their massages. Heidi takes her time and seems to really address the parts of my horse that may be tense. I could see their expressions change and soften as they enjoy their massage.

Who I Work With

Every horse deserves to feel good in their body and I work with all of them. I especially love working with older horses navigating the changes that come with age, horses recovering from injury or stress, and those with storied pasts who still have so much life left to give. Every horse is welcome here — wherever they are in their journey.

  • It was a wonderful experience! Bambi enjoyed every moment and made it very apparent through her yawns and stretches.

    Gianna

  • My horses very much enjoyed their sessions with Heidi. Beau was especially happy, even licking her as if to say thank you, unusual for him as he's normally a bit crabby!

    Mary Beth

  • I 100% noticed an improvement in my mare after her massage session and it led to better riding (she wasn’t lame, just body sore from an unbalanced hoof). This was the visit that made a true believer in bodywork
