How long does a session last?
Human sessions last approximately 75 to 90 minutes. However 5-10 minutes before and after the session is needed for new client intake release forms, setting up and breaking down of equipment. Equine clients that are receiving bodywork for the first time have sessions from two to three hours. Recurring equine sessions last approximately an hour and a half to two hours.
Do you charge by the session or by the clock?
I charge by the session not by the minutes on the clock. Every person and every horse has unique needs that I address during the session.

When will I notice an improvement?
You should notice changes occurring in your body immediately. Sometimes there is an immediate notable improvement within your horse and sometimes it takes a few sessions.
How frequently should we be massaged?
This all depends on you and/or your horse's level of work, conformation, health, the extent of an injury, the footing, etc. If you have a hard workload a massage twice a month is probably in line. A normal workload should be done at least once a month as a maintenance program and to assess your training impact as well as head off issues while still subtle.

How long do I have to wait until I can ride my horse after a session?
Actually, follow-up exercise is a component of bodywork for both you and/or your horse. Healthy, sound horses can be ridden after the session.
I am showing my horse this weekend. This week is my horse's first scheduled massage appointment. Is this okay?
Once you and/or your horse are on a regular massage schedule this would be okay. However, if this is you and/or your horse's first session you both need to get used to this new way of moving and there is a chance you would be slightly sensitive after. Horses adapt to movement for a number of reasons. The increased range of motion may make you feel slightly out of sync the first time. Not a good idea at a show!

Where are you located?
My business is located in Boulder City, NV and mobile. If the session is for your horse, I will come to your horse's stall for their session. If the session is for you, I will come to your home or you can come to my establishment.
What do I need?
You will need enough space to set up a three foot by seven foot table for your session. I bring all of the equipment, lotions, clean 100% cotton linens and release forms. We can discuss any special needs, concerns or questions you may have during a pre session telephone interview.
