Harmony in Motion: Our Story

KinEquis: Equine Massage & Bodywork
Our unique bodywork practice applies a dual-pronged approach to well-being for both you and your horse. We combine structural bodywork to resolve physical issues with a holistic perspective that nurtures the complete, integrated system.
For both individuals and horses, we meticulously assess and work with the body's physical architecture—muscles, fascia, and joints. This targeted approach releases chronic tension, corrects imbalances, and restores healthy movement patterns, which helps alleviate pain, improve flexibility, and enhance athletic performance.
Whether you're an equestrian seeking to optimize your performance and well-being or a horse owner looking to enhance your horse's comfort and freedom of movement, our personalized sessions are designed to support a balanced and integrated journey to wellness for both of you.

My journey into the world of bodywork is deeply personal. For years, I experienced chronic pain and limited range of motion, and it was through massage that I finally found lasting relief and a path to a more fulfilling life. This powerful experience inspired me to become a Licensed Massage Therapist in Oregon (License #20301) after graduating from East West College of the Healing Arts in 2013.
My lifelong passion for horses led me to recognize a profound parallel between human and equine well-being. A horse's biomechanics are intricately linked to their rider's, and an imbalance in one can directly affect the other. This insight led me to complete the Large Animal Massage Therapy program at the Northwest School of Animal Massage, allowing me to provide comprehensive care for both sides of the partnership.
I specialize in modalities like Myofascial Release and Trigger Point Therapy, with a focus on structural balancing to address the root cause of pain and compensation patterns. As a member of the ABMP, I am committed to a high standard of professional practice. It is my goal to partner with you and your horse to restore alignment, improve performance, and foster a deeper, more comfortable connection for a lifetime of well-being.
