Horses are amazingly resilient creatures. Mattie has found many horses have severe pain and will still go through their hard daily schedules with little complaint. Horses learn to compensate for pain, injury, and unbalanced teeth/feet, and they are very good at hiding their discomfort.
Her approach to equine bodywork is very gentle. Many of the things she does, she is happy to share with you so you can continue to help your horse at home between sessions. Mattie also combines hoof trimming and bodywork together for amazing results.
Her goal for your horse each body working session:
Mattie combines facial releasing, trigger point massage, and gentle stretching with energy work and movement changes to enhance the horse's natural and freest way of going. Your horse should find quick relief as well as long-term adjustments that will benefit him/her comfort and overall performance. Mattie can combine equine body work with barefoot trimming as well. A healthy horse moves with energy, relaxation, and enthusiasm!
Mattie looks forward to supporting your horse to be the very best he/she can be!

Her goal for your horse each body working session:
- Comfort for your horse during and after each session.
- Evaluating and releasing tension and pain points in the horse's body so he/she can move more comfortably.
- Adjusting the horse's body as softly as possible while still getting results - if your horse is really sore, she may do a "softer" release session the first time or two before delving into deeper or more intense work.
