Fiona Minchell Mmcp : Equine Bodyworker & Holistic Therapist

Equine Massage and Bodywork and Holistic therapies for Horse & Rider.

I am an Equine Massage and Bodyworker and Certified in the Masterson Method of Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork. This extremely effective and gentle form of equine bodywork uses the responses of the horse, to find and release deep accumulated tension in the key junctions of the horse's body that most affect performance.

A variety of techniques are used to release pain and tension, improve muscular and structural balance, and restore natural alignment and mobility.

The Masterson Method is different to other methods of equine massage in that it encourages the horse to actively participate in the process, making it something you do with the horse, rather than to the horse. Apart from improving performance, comfort and attitude, this form of equine bodywork has the added benefit of opening up new levels of communication and trust and seems to have a calming effect. Although this method was originally designed for horses, it seems to work really well for dogs too. A friend of mine is a dog behaviourist and I have worked on several of her dogs, with great results, both physically and with their behaviour.

I am continually striving to learn as much as I can to improve my skills and have also attended courses in Equine Cranial Sacral Therapy, Emmet Technique, Accupressure Points, T Touch, Rehabilitation Therapy and Saddle Fitting.

I am also a qualified Homeopath, Animal Aromatherapist and Pilates Instructor. These therapies are available on request.
