Kind Words

Big thank you to Heather for her amazing service. My thoroughbred gelding has suffered with a tense spine and top line after ongoing kissing spine treatment. Not only has Heather helped relax and reduce pains and tension spots she makes him super relaxed and chilled.

Prince doesn’t take to many people and takes a while to trust due to his mistreatment in previous homes but Heather gained his trust and quickly became one of his favourite humans.

Thanks again Heather for trusting him enough to massage him and not just see him for the sensitive (sometimes kicker) horse he can be.

Jill

My horse, Warrior, is the kindest, most gentle boy there is, but he is always hyper aware of everything going on around him. It was so good to see him properly relax when heather came to massage him.  He has been much more chilled since too.

I can’t thank Heather enough for everything she has done for him.

5 star recommendation from me!

Tanya

Simba is a 35 year old Shetland pony. Over the past 5 years, old age is setting in. His hips have become very stiff.  He struggles to pick his feet up.

Heather came looked him over and assessed him. 1st session Heather spent approximately 40 min on him, massaging him. 2nd session she worked on certain areas, his hips and neck.

He is a lot more agile. We even get a little trot and canter out of him. He doesn’t struggle to lift his feet. A big improvement all round. He holds his head up nicely.  I am very happy with the improvement in my old man.

Thank you very much Heather you have taken years off Simba.
