Helping Animals Move Better, Feel Better, Live Better.
My Mission
At KT Equine and Canine Services, I believe every animal deserves to move comfortably, perform confidently, and enjoy a better quality of life. Whether your horse is competing at the highest levels, carrying you down the trail on weekends, or simply enjoying retirement, massage therapy and kinesiology taping (KT Tape) provide powerful, non-invasive support for overall wellness, comfort, and performance. The same benefits extend to our canine companions—from elite sporting and working dogs to beloved family pets.
I have worked as a veterinary technician since 2016 and bring a strong foundation in animal health, care, and wellness to my practice. I am also an avid equestrian and competitor, having participated in events recognized by the United States Eventing Association, which has given me firsthand experience in the demands placed on performance horses. I am a certified Equine and Canine Massage Therapist through Equissage, and I am passionate about helping horses and dogs.
My mission is simple: to provide compassionate, professional bodywork that supports the health, comfort, and performance of every horse and dog I serve. Whether your goal is winning in the show ring, enjoying weekend rides, keeping your canine athlete in peak condition, or simply giving your animal the gift of greater comfort, I am dedicated to helping them feel their very best.
About My Services
Equine Massage
Equine massage and bodywork is a specialized, hands-on therapy that focuses on the muscles, soft tissues, and movement patterns of the horse to promote comfort, mobility, performance, and overall wellness. Just like people, horses can develop muscle tension, soreness, stiffness, and compensatory movement patterns that may affect their performance, behavior, and quality of life. Through targeted massage techniques and bodywork assessments I identify and address areas of tension and restriction, improving circulation, flexibility, range of motion, and muscle function while supporting recovery from training, competition, travel, or everyday activities. Regular bodywork can aid in injury prevention, enhance relaxation, improve movement, support recovery, and help detect potential problem areas before they become more significant concerns. Whether your horse is a high-level competitor, working horse, trail partner, lesson horse, backyard companion, or cherished retiree, equine massage and bodywork can help them move more freely, feel more comfortable, and maintain optimal physical health and well-being throughout every stage of life.

Kinesiology Tape
(KT Tape)
Kinesiology Tape (KT Tape) is a specialized therapeutic tape designed to support the horse's muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints without restricting natural movement. When strategically applied, KT Tape works by gently lifting the skin, which can help improve circulation and lymphatic flow, reduce inflammation and swelling, decrease muscle fatigue, support weakened or overworked muscles, and encourage proper movement patterns. Commonly used on both equine athletes and pleasure horses, KT Tape can aid in performance, recovery, rehabilitation, and overall comfort by providing continuous support between massage and bodywork sessions. Whether your horse is competing in the show ring, navigating trails, performing daily work, recovering from an injury, or simply aging gracefully, KT Tape can be an effective, non-invasive tool to enhance mobility, promote healing, reduce discomfort, and help your horse move and perform at their best.
$15 KT Tape (per area) plus $30 farm call for KT Tape only appointment
$15 KT Tape (per area) add-on after massage
Canine Massage
Canine massage is a gentle, therapeutic treatment designed to support your dog's physical health, comfort, and emotional well-being through purposeful manipulation of the muscles and soft tissues. Dogs often hide signs of discomfort, making it difficult for owners to recognize aches, tension, or mobility issues until they begin affecting daily activities such as walking, playing, jumping, climbing stairs, or getting up from a resting position. Massage therapy can help relieve muscular tension, improve circulation, reduce stress and anxiety, increase flexibility, support healthy joint movement, and promote faster recovery from physical activity, injury, or surgery. It is especially beneficial for senior dogs experiencing age-related stiffness, active dogs participating in sports or outdoor adventures, working dogs with physically demanding jobs, and pets recovering from illness or injury. Beyond the physical benefits, massage can also provide a calming and positive experience that strengthens the bond between dog and owner while helping your canine companion enjoy greater comfort, mobility, and quality of life at every stage of life.
