From Eventing to Massage Therapy: Finding My True Calling…

From Eventing to Massage Therapy: Finding My True Calling…

Sometimes, life takes you in a direction you never expected, and it becomes everything you needed. After years of struggling with my heart horse, Westley, trying countless fixes, and facing setbacks, I discovered equine massage as a last resort. It wasn’t an easy journey. I enrolled in a massage school for humans, and had to adapt what I learned to help him.

Slowly, I noticed a change. Westley was happier, softer, and our bond grew. For the first time, he felt truly at ease.

This transformation inspired me to start my business, Freely Forward Bodywork to help more horses find comfort.  With more hands-on experience and further training, I realized this was my true calling: helping horses and empowering their riders.  Since then, I’ve reached thousands of horse owners, sharing the skills that saved my partnership with Westley and changed my life.  

Today, it’s my mission to bring these tools to equestrians everywhere.  My hope is that every horse owner can connect more deeply with their horse and make informed choices for their well-being.  

Your horse’s health is in your hands, and with the right tools, you can make an incredible difference.
