At Soul Deep Touch, we believe in the power of equine bodywork to restore movement, comfort, and connection between horses and their owners. Whether your horse is recovering from an injury, experiencing stiffness, or simply in need of relaxation, our specialized approach to horse massage and equine movement therapy helps support their well-being.
So many horse owners feel helpless when their horses exhibit signs of stress, discomfort, or pain. Whether it’s stiffness, anxiety, or unexplained behavioral changes, the uncertainty of not knowing how to help can be overwhelming. Without the right guidance, it’s easy to feel lost, unsure if you’re doing enough—or if you’re even addressing the root cause at all.
Your horse deserves better. With the right tools, knowledge, and support, you can provide meaningful relief and help your horse move, feel, and live with greater ease..
With years of experience, training and certifications in Tucker Biokinetics, Equine Massage, Equine Hanna Somatics, Feldenkrais for Equines, and a deep understanding of equine movement therapy, I work with each horse as an individual, listening to their body’s needs and providing hands-on techniques that promote relaxation and healing. My goal is not only to help your horse feel better but also to empower you with simple techniques to maintain their well-being between sessions.
Each session is designed to:
✔ Improve your horse’s range of motion through equine bodywork
✔ Reduce muscle tension and discomfort with gentle horse massage
✔ Support recovery from injuries through horse rehabilitation techniques
✔ Strengthen the horse-owner connection by teaching you how to maintain your horse’s mobility
Your horse's comfort and well-being are my top priorities. Using a gentle, hands-on approach, I help your horse release tension and move more freely. Rather than relying on rigid techniques, I tune in to what your horse needs in the moment, addressing areas of discomfort with an intuitive, informed touch. This work supports the nervous system, helping your horse relax, rebalance, and learn to move with greater ease.
I recommend regular bodywork sessions, similar to how humans benefit from monthly massages. Consistent treatments help maintain your horse’s health and prevent issues from developing.
Enhance your horse’s well-being with simple touch techniques you can easily incorporate into your grooming routine. I’ll teach you gentle muscle lifts and other effective methods to help your horse relax, release tension, and move more comfortably—all while deepening your connection through mindful presence. By staying present and attuned to your horse’s responses, you’ll create a sense of trust and ease that supports their overall well-being.
No, our work complements veterinary care. If we notice issues that require veterinary attention, we will refer you to your vet or other appropriate professionals.
You don’t need to be a bodywork practitioner to support your horse’s well-being. I’ll show you simple, effective touch techniques to use between sessions, helping your horse stay comfortable and moving freely. These methods not only promote relaxation and health but also strengthen the bond between you and your horse.

Chaela's been coming out to the ranch for years and working with my horses, using gentle, effective bodywork movements. The benefits to their well being is enormous. They look forward to their sessions and often start to yawn the moment they enter the arena.
