One Session. One Price.
Your horse does not always need the same thing from one visit
to the next.
Every session begins with the horse in front of me. I assess
posture, movement, muscle tone, areas of tension, sensitivity,
and how the horse responds before deciding which therapeutic
techniques are most appropriate.
Massage, myofascial work, cold laser, kinesiology tape, Reiki, Bemer
or a combination of supportive modalities may be incorporated
during the session when appropriate.
You are paying for the session and my expertise not for a list of individual add-ons.
There are no surprise therapeutic charges simply because your
horse benefits from more than one approach during the appointment.
Therapeutic Approaches
Each session is customized. The techniques used depend on what
your horse presents with and how they respond throughout the session.
Release Therapy
Hands-on soft tissue work designed to support muscular comfort,
relaxation, flexibility, and recovery.
Myofascial Techniques
Focused work addressing restrictions within fascia and surrounding
soft tissues that may influence movement and body use.
Cold Laser Therapy
A non-invasive therapeutic modality that may be used to support
targeted areas during a bodywork session.
Kinesiology Taping
Strategically applied therapeutic tape used when appropriate
to provide additional support following bodywork.
Reiki
A gentle, non-invasive approach that can be particularly useful
for horses that respond well to quiet, low-pressure work.
Individualized Therapeutic Support
Sessions may incorporate one or several appropriate modalities
depending on the horse's needs that day.
What to Expect
Every session is guided by observation, hands-on assessment,
and the horse's response.
1
Observe
I begin by looking at posture, movement, symmetry, and how
your horse carries their body.
2
Assess
Hands-on assessment helps identify muscular tension,
sensitivity, restrictions, and compensation patterns.
3
Treat
The session is customized using the therapeutic techniques
and tools appropriate for your horse.
4
Reassess
I monitor your horse's response throughout the session and
adjust the work as needed.
Bodywork for Horses at Every Stage
I work with performance horses, pleasure horses, working horses,
senior horses, and horses returning to activity.
Bodywork may be supportive for horses experiencing:
- Muscular tension or stiffness
- Reduced flexibility
- Compensation patterns
- Uneven movement
- Performance-related muscle fatigue
- Recovery following demanding work
- Senior-horse maintenance
- Routine wellness and bodywork support
Thoughtful, Individualized Equine Care
My approach is horse-centered and individualized. I pay close
attention to what I feel, what I see, and how the horse responds
rather than following the same routine with every horse.
Every horse carries tension, compensation, history, and workload
differently. The goal is to listen carefully to what the body
is communicating and provide appropriate support.

Equine bodywork works best alongside quality veterinary, farrier, saddle-fitting, and other professional care. I work with care teams in a collaborative effort.
Bodywork does not replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment.
If I see or feel something that falls outside the scope of
bodywork, I will tell you.

Shell was at the Southeast Regional Special Olympics Equestrian competition volunteering for the Special Olympics of NC
I was on a horse, Job, that I knew had something going on, but had tried other support for him; essential oils, calm speaking, natural work. Nothing seemed to encourage him to bend right.
Shell offered her assistance for Job.
All I can say is AMAZING! Shell asked Job if she could help him and he accepted. Shell began acupressure and reiki on Job's right rear and he began licking and chewing. He was having issues with bending at the poll and she worked a miracle on him to accept the bit (normally, we don't use a bit) easier and bend more.
He went on to want to go into the competition ring and show what he can do. Job showed out and bent to the right with ease.
His rider and he won first place in the trail class.
She offered to assist with another horse, Clark, who had some issues in his peck area, due to slow growth in his heels. Again, she was able to help Clark release tension and stress to be more at ease.
Thank you so much Shell, for helping my boys work through their tension and do what they do best
If your horse has something that is going on and you or your vet can't figure it out, Shell is your best miracle.
Shell worked with my mare in a way that honored her as an individual and took the time to go at the pace and the pressure she needed. Not only that but my mare improved greatly with noticeably less tension and restriction in her movements and her body. I am so grateful for the work she has done for us and will continue to have her out for maintenance!
I don’t even have words to explain how much better my horse feels. She finds all the issues and somehow goes point by point and fixes it. Incredible.
I don’t understand what she does, I’m just glad she is able to do it. My mare hates everyone, and Shell touches her and it’s like magic happens.
Ever had that moment where you swear your horse “just feels off” but every time you call the vet your flexions tests and other diagnostic tools make you feel as if you are chasing a ghost of a lameness? If so, you need Shell with Tryon Equine Bodywork. Before Shell, I considered body work as a “TLC” treatment, not something essential to my athletic partners. Tryon Equine and Bodywork is so much more than that. Shell’s intuition and connection with horses allow a horse to release and relax, as well as pinpoint not just lameness but soreness or tension in other areas. The benefit of Tryon Equine Bodywork is shown as your horse’s lameness is tracked and rated per appointment. I have witnessed this help with diagnostic work with my vet when the appointment I have been waiting on finally comes around. Financially, it limits the amount of imaging and rule outs. What I love about it even more is that it is collaborative care. Tryon Equine Bodywork is not a replacement for a veterinarian, but an additional treatment to assist your horse. This has been so valuable to me, my veterinarians, and my trainer.
Shell has been useful in also allowing my mare to increase her training and move up as her soreness associated with harder work is addressed instead of “just dealing with it.” In turn- I have a horse who isn’t compensating and willing to do more. I have watched Shell handle my most dramatic horse who basically screams “it all hurts!” and a slight soreness it the end of the world to my most stoic mare who could probably walk sound even if you chopped her leg off. Tryon Equine Bodywork has helped my hardest horses on both ends of the spectrum. This is some of the most essential treatments everyone needs for their horse.
The changes I saw take place so quickly made me a believer! Highly recommend her…don’t be frustrated & waste time on your own when she can get to the root of the issue so quickly!
My mare was carrying a lot of tension and stiffness. Visibly relaxed and lost tension during her sessions with Shell.
Shell does an amazing job of reading my horses and knowing what is holding tension. I can watch them really relax when she works on them! They’re a lot more relaxed and soft after our sessions!
