I started working with horses in a small family run racing yard at 14 years old.  I got my first horse at 16 and competed in riding club shows and Show-jumping ( SJAI ) for a number of years up to grade ABC level.  I have worked in the horse industry for 28 years, breaking mostly Thoroughbreds, exercising Race-horses and I was head girl in two racing yards.

In 2002 I broke my leg badly while riding out. Once the cast was off I went for Physical Therapy (Massage).  I found that the massage helped to get the leg strong again. I knew how much the massage had helped me recover from my injury quicker and better than if I had just let the leg heal by itself.
 
I decided to look into massage for the athletic horse.  I worked in a racing yard for 15 months as head girl.  I expressed an interest in learning "hands on" massage for horses and was given permission to practice and develop my massage techniques on 30 plus horses. Some horses were massaged before and after exercise to improve their movement, performance and reduce the risk of injury. 

I completed a Certificate course with Coreen Kelly of the Western Montana School of Equine Massage and have been massaging horses since July 2005.  In August 2009, I qualified as a McTimoney-Corley Spinal Therapist with the Oxford College of Equine Physical Therapy (OCEPT) in Witney, England.

 I qualified as a Human McTimoney-Corley Spinal Therapist in September 2012. I studied at the Witney College of   Spinal Therapy under the auspices of the Association of McTimoney-Corley Spinal Therapists.

 I have been around horses for many years and have competed in showjumping from novice to ABC level and during that time I obtained my BHSAI exams in 1994 and started teaching in local equestrian centres. 

I became aware of how beneficial Sports Massage was for me and was intrigued to learn more about the subject and how animals can  benefit from these therapies too.

My first massage course was with Coreen Kelly of the Western Montana school of Equine Massage (July 2007) and became a Certified Equine Massage Practitioner.  I have also completed a two year Diploma course with the Institue of Complementary Animal Therapies (I.C.A.T.) in Exeter, England.  These courses involved developing massage techniques with numerous case studies, Anatomy and Physiology, Horse's health, dissertation and business plan.  

I continued on with my studies and completed courses in Human Massage. I qualified as a I.T.E.C Holistic Massage Therapist in June 2011 and qualified as a Sports Massage Therapist in June 2012
